Topic on Extension talk:GoogleLogin

$wgReadOnly was set

Upgraded MediaWiki from 1.27.3 to 1.32.0

Upgraded GoogleLogin from 0.3.1 to 0.4.0

I've ran the update script and composer. I have removed no longer present options from LocalSettings.php. I am left with:

wfLoadExtension( 'GoogleLogin' );

$wgGLSecret = 'aaaaaaaaaaaa';

$wgGLAppId = 'bbbbbbbbbbb';

$wgWhitelistRead = array( 'Special:GoogleLoginReturn' );

$wgGLAllowedDomains = array('domain.com');

$wgAuthManagerAutoConfig['primaryauth'] = [];

I did have an issue where my 'Specials' folder in the includes was 'specials' instead but I have sorted that (HFS fun) resolving a class not found error.

Now I can click the log in link, get the Google login flow, but then when done I get stuck in a loop, Chrome reports ' ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS'. If I use new credentials that do not have the G+ scopes.

If I use the old credentials that do have the G+ scope then I get redirected back to the 'Choose an account' screen at https://accounts.google.com/signin/oauth/oauthchooseaccount?client_id=abcd

I have cleared all local storage for this site and also tried in incognito mode to be sure, the same happens.

Apache logs show repeated GET /Special:GoogleLoginReturn?<removed all the query params> referred from https://accounts.google.co.uk/accounts/SetSID

Looking at the code so far, I have got as as seeing that $authData is empty.

Have I missed something in upgrading MediaWiki or..? Thanks!

Solved it.

I was reading around and ended up on Manual:$wgSessionCacheType - where there is this gem:

"Note that if CACHE_DB is used then users cannot log in when the respective wiki's database was locked with e.g. $wgReadOnly."

$wgReadOnly was set to true!
