Topic on Extension talk:AccessControl

I have applied <accesscontrol> to a page named Quests on my wiki. https://dnd.dylanbanta.com/index.php?title=Quests

The access control tag does seem to work fine, but if you don't have access to the page (Not logged in for example) you get redirected to the following page https://dnd.dylanbanta.com/index.php/The+Luterra+Wiki:Deny_user which doesn't exist (with or without the spaces in the URL) and 404s.

The first thing I've noticed is that the url is constructed differently, so I tried editing my LocalSettings.php and Nginx configurations

Firstly I had to change

$wgSitename = "The Luterra Wiki";

to

$wgSitename = "The_Luterra_Wiki";

to remove the spaces from the url. Now it redirects to

https://dnd.dylanbanta.com/index.php/The_Luterra_Wiki:Deny_user which still 404s but at least the URL won't have spaces.

I wasn't sure if AccessControl expects Short URLs so I changed the LocalSettings.php to include the following

$wgScriptPath = "";

$wgArticlePath = "/wiki/$1";

$wgUsePathInfo = true;

I can now access my Quests page from

https://dnd.dylanbanta.com/wiki/Quests when logged in

and logged out it now redirects to

https://dnd.dylanbanta.com/index.php/The_Luterra_Wiki:Deny_user

which doesn't include the /wiki/ part of the url, and still isn't an existing page.

At this point, I'm pretty confused as to what to do to fix these redirects. I'm using nginx so perhaps I need to configure something with that?

Your problem is (by me) very strictly settings. You page Deny_user, which the anonymous user inform about deny access, not exists. It must be allowed for anonyous view.

First: Change spaces to undescores, have not sense, because in MediaWiki do for article title automatically. See Manual:Page table

Next: For answer is important information about versions used.

Last version 6.0 from git use variable AccessControlMeta. If set true, do redirect to page Deny_user in main namespace.
