Hmm, I don't think this can work. It seems I wasn't clear enough, but
I got a wiki which was full of spam and was on version 1.15. So I made
a clean new install of 1.19.1 by putting the 1.19.1 files in a new
folder and copying the old LocalSettings.php over, editing it to my
liking (leaving the database the same) and running the web updater.
Then I removed the old wiki and moved the new install to where the old
one had been.
And this new install now has the described problems. They weren't
there with the old version, never had problems logging in before.
So I don't have two versions which are identical but for the problems,
if I had them your idea would of course be good.
It only makes sense to diff the LocalSettings.php files, that's a good
idea, maybe something springs to my eye that way which I didn't see
till now. But I just did that and I really think my LocalSettings.php
is okay.
