Thread:Project:Support desk/Logged out users no longer auto-forwarded to login page?

I am in the process of a migrate + server move from mediawiki 1.18 to 1.19. Both wikis are private with only the special login page being white-listed. In Mediawiki 1.18, if I am not logged in I will be automatically forwarded to the Login Required page. In 1.19, this (very much desired) functionality does not take place, and I am instead sent to a Permission Error web page. Was this a change between 1.18 and 1.19? If so, how do I revert to the 1.18 functionality. I can't provide links to the wiki as they are company internal. I've googled and searched for about 3 hours now and come up with nothing; my google-fu may be weak. :/

halp?
