Special:GlobalUserRights redirects to Special:UserRights

Author: kudu

Description:
Setup: Debian Linux, MediaWiki 1.17, CentralAuth snapshot for 1.17.x

When going to [[Special:GlobalUserRights]] / [[Special:GlobalGroupPermissions]], I get instantly redirected to [[Special:UserRights]], strangely. However, I'm able to access [[Special:CentralAuth]] and [[Special:GlobalGroupPermissions]] just fine.

This isn't a permissions issue - I have appropriate permissions globally. Additionally, when accessing that same page on Meta, even though I'm not a steward, I don't get redirected.

Although it doesn't happen to everyone, I've seen it happen to other wikis which I don't operate, and its operators express the same frustration.

I haven't been able to debug this. Help?

Special:GlobalUserRights is aliased internally to Special:GlobalGroupMembership... which itself extends the UserrightsPage base class used to build Special:Userrights.

I don't see anything super-obvious that should result in it redirecting unexpectedly upon view, but can you double-check and confirm if you have any other extensions around which might be messing with the Special:Userrights page or anything else that might somehow be getting in the way?

I have this problem on a fresh install; no other extensions whatsoever. Everything works except Special:GlobalUserRights.

If you make an account I'll make you a steward and you can see the problem yourself.

It works okay with the development version.

Sorry Hazard, I'm hosting the site from my MacBook which I had to take into work today :-/ Next time I catch you on IRC I'll set it up. I will try with the latest development MediaWiki, although it's a little annoying it's doesn't always work on 1.17.x. Can anyone point me to a previous build that is meant for this version?

OK, I've reinstalled 2 mediawikis, this time on my VPS so it should be up 24/7.
first wiki is
http://111.67.17.102/w
second is
http://111.67.17.102/w2

They are running mw 1.19alpha with same problem :-(

BTW, the only way I have been able to create the FIRST global group is through sql queries? is this right?

I didn't mean the development version of MediaWiki :O - just the extension. I do have the same problem with your sql query issue as well, though. I'll file a bug for that.
