[SOLVED] MediaWiki - Login after installation not possible

Hi Community,

just wanted to confirm that I ran into the same issue.

second post of my pioneer edition which I got a couple of weeks ago from Olimex (running 19.22).

Network setup at home for testing works fine, got a fixed IP assigned and allt he usual jazz. Also running in DMZ for now. Plugged in directly into my router.

Could get most things going pretty easily, updated the box, installed mediawiki etc. Unfortunately I have a weird issue with Mediawiki:

  • app installed just fine
  • configured media wiki app to enable private mode and assigned new admin PW
  • opened media wiki install via web launcher to /mediawiki/
  • tried to login to add more users and set up media wiki via /mediawiki/Special:UserLogin

got the following error message:

Blockquote There seems to be a problem with your login session; this action has been canceled as a precaution against session hijacking. Please resubmit the form.

Tried using the user name: admin (as suggested in the app config) and also tried my admin username for the overall freedom box. Same result. Reset PW various times, even to simple stuff like 12345678? but still no change. Always get the same error message upon login.

where can I find/edit the local php files/settings on my freedom box? Please note, I still have the cockpit access white screen issue, so cannot get on there (which was my first thought), to change the files…
