Can't login to MediaWiki right after installation












0















When Installing latest stable MediaWiki on A CentOS machine I created a user and a password with my email as part of the LocalSettings.php file that the installer creates.



After the installation wizard finished I downloaded the LocalSettings.php file and uploaded it to the site's directory.



I then navigated to MediaWiki site in my browser by the website's domain.




  • When I try to login I get an error message that the credentials for my user are wrong.


  • When I try to retrieve password to my email my username isn't recognized.


  • I also tried a capitalized version.



Why is it?

          This seems to have been a browser caching issue. After I closed the browser tab and opened another and got into the website anew, I could then login.



          It might be that I totally closed the browser window --- I didn't notice if I closed it in between using the different tabs. I think I didn't close the browser window.



          In either case I didn't refresh the page F5 or CTRL+R or CTRL+F5 and similar.
