Blocking Account Creation

Summary by CSchrieb

I used the following to block account creation.

$wgGroupPermissions['*']['createaccount'] = false;

I had accidentally commented it out at some point, it would appear.

Hello,

My site got vandalized, apparently because I did not properly prevent creation of new accounts. Can someone tell me the proper way to prevent users from creating accounts? I have a handful of people I want to have the ability to add content.

I thought I'd properly followed the instructions in the manual, but I may have misunderstood something.

Thanks!
