• Is there a authentication method incorporated against SME server somehow please? RequestedDeletion

--

After uninstalling (and using the full uninstall script) there is still an entry left in the accounts db:

 # db accounts show mediawiki
 mediawiki=reserved

There is a newer version 1.6.10-9 on smecontribs so I assume the wget/localinstall instructions are now out of date.

Just installed with

yum install --enablerepo=smecontribs smeserver-mediawiki 

and all looks good.

Also login was with user admin and the password of the SME Server admin user - as opposed to password admin stated in wiki Timn 14:46, 24 February 2010 (UTC)
