Thread: Wiki login broken

Hi,

I can't log in to the wiki.  When I enter my credentials, it hangs and
then eventually returns "Failed to connect to the authentication
database:".  Also, if I try to choose to login from an article page
(so that the returnto value is set in the URL) it returns 403 -
Forbidden

I can, however, log in to my community account through the main site.

hmm that kinda sounds you managed to get to the "normal" MW login at
least once and bypassed the community login interface. Can you please
look into remove all existing cookies referring to wiki.postgresql.org
and try again?

Yes, you're right, come to think of it I should have realised that I
shouldn't have been presented with the Mediawiki login page.  Working
now.

Thanks
