MediaWiki + OpenID under fedora 9: success !

31 Jul 2008
I finally managed to get things working, although it involved using original sources instead of RPMs.

I made 2 main errors:

• My MediaWiki was too old, and I needed to install it from source. I hope I can find more recent RPM packages or maybe I can convince the maintainer to upgrade to the latest version


• I set $wgTrustRoot in /var/local/wiki/LocalSettings.php, which is the wrong place. I needed to set that in OpenID.setup.php instead.

I hope to post a full guide soon, followed by a puppet recipe
