Topic on Extension talk:LDAPAuthentication2

Working on upgrading our wiki from 1.31 and though we'd upgrade our authentication app at the same time but having troubles, specifically with the upgrade script:

php extensions/LDAPProvider/maintenance/ConvertLdapAuthenticationConfig.php --output /ext/mediawiki/ldapprovider.json

Specifically, I have this error:

php extensions/LDAPProvider/maintenance/ConvertLdapAuthenticationConfig.php --output /ext/mediawiki/ldapprovider.json

PHP Fatal error:  Uncaught Exception: /var/lib/mediawiki-1.33.1-HD-test/extensions/LdapAuthentication/extension.json does not exist! in /var/lib/mediawiki-1.33.1-HD-test/includes/registration/ExtensionRegistry.php:117

This is the relevant part of /includes/registration/ExtensionRegistry.php:

   109		public function queue( $path ) {

   115					$mtime = filemtime( $path );

Here's a pastebin with the relevant parts of LocalSettings.php pastebin.com/HQ5SH4iY

I'd appreciate any insight anyone has.

I took a look at your config layout on pastebin, and I see what you're trying to do.

A few suggestions:

- Use 1.31 or 1.34. The extension-set has not been built/qualified for 1.33, and I've tried master on 1.33 to no avail

- When you install 1.31 or 1.34, consider using the approach of a JSON-config file, combined with LocalSettings.php

- You will find a full working example here: Manual:Active Directory Integration

To avoid agony, I would remove all your existing LDAP or Permission config, and try with the PHP on that page.

I don't think the maintenance script you are running will have any impact on "getting a working setup"
