Cannot log in about mediawiki_phpbb_auth HOT 4 CLOSED

Funny I didn't notice this in the code in #12, but for some reason that part of the code was never updated to use MySQLi, I must have missed it.

For now set UseExtDatabase to true, and then just enter the same database information. That should work.

I have MediaWiki and phpBB 3.1.9 in the same database but it won't work until I set $wgAuth_Config['UseExtDatabase'] to true and also set all MySQL related settings (remember to uncomment this lines and set proper username, password and database name.

If it's still doesn't work write your php, MySQL ans MediaWiki version.

Can confirm that UseExtDatabase = true and supplying all the DB info in there does work, thanks.

I then also saw similar messages to: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12048453/non-static-method-utf-normalizernfc-should-not-be-called-statically when attempting to logging in, which I fixed using this answer: http://stackoverflow.com/a/26066799

I'm not sure if there's anything that can be done on your end for this, so should I create an issue for it or forget it?

If I'm reading it correctly that's a bug in phpbb, and not in this extension.

So nothing to be done here, though you might report it to the phpbb team.
