Setup: Debian Linux, MediaWiki 1.17, CentralAuth snapshot for 1.17.x When going to [[Special:GlobalUserRights]] / [[Special:GlobalGroupPermissions]], I get instantly redirected to [[Special:UserRights]], strangely. However, I'm able to access [[Special:CentralAuth]] and [[Special:GlobalGroupPermissions]] just fine. This isn't a permissions issue - I have appropriate permissions globally. Additionally, when accessing that same page on Meta, even though I'm not a steward, I don't get redirected. Although it doesn't happen to everyone, I've seen it happen to other wikis which I don't operate, and its operators express the same frustration. I haven't been able to debug this. Help?
Special:GlobalUserRights is aliased internally to Special:GlobalGroupMembership... which itself extends the UserrightsPage base class used to build Special:Userrights. I don't see anything super-obvious that should result in it redirecting unexpectedly upon view, but can you double-check and confirm if you have any other extensions around which might be messing with the Special:Userrights page or anything else that might somehow be getting in the way?
This is probably either INVALID or FIXED.

I have this problem on a fresh install; no other extensions whatsoever. Everything works except Special:GlobalUserRights.
Matthew Thompson, what version of MediaWiki and what version of CentralAuth are you using?
MediaWiki 1.17.8 CentralAuth 1.17.0 snapshot
1.17.x sorry
The wikis are located at http://mrmatt.dyndns.org/testwiki and http://mrmatt.dyndns.org/rosswiki If you make an account I'll make you a steward and you can see the problem yourself.
sorry for spamming comments! but theres an error with the above links should be http://mrmatt.dyndns.org/rosswiki/index.php/Main_Page and http://mrmatt.dyndns.org/testwiki/index.php/Main_Page
I get "The server at mrmatt.dyndns.org is taking too long to respond." errors for all 4 links above.
It works okay with the development version.
Sorry Hazard, I'm hosting the site from my MacBook which I had to take into work today :-/ Next time I catch you on IRC I'll set it up. I will try with the latest development MediaWiki, although it's a little annoying it's doesn't always work on 1.17.x. Can anyone point me to a previous build that is meant for this version?
OK, I've reinstalled 2 mediawikis, this time on my VPS so it should be up 24/7. first wiki is http://111.67.17.102/w second is http://111.67.17.102/w2 They are running mw 1.19alpha with same problem :-( BTW, the only way I have been able to create the FIRST global group is through sql queries? is this right?
scratch that. i give up lol, i screwed it up xP
I didn't mean the development version of MediaWiki :O - just the extension. I do have the same problem with your sql query issue as well, though. I'll file a bug for that.
