When lagging the mysql slave in beta, we found that the CentralAuth code produces an error and is unable to complete the request path via login-wiki.
- Run STOP SLAVE SQL_THREAD; on deployment-db2 as mysql root.
- Apply https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/244087/ to php-master on deployment-bastion and sync-dir php-master/includes/db/.
- Create account at http://en.wikipedia.beta.wmflabs.org/w/index.php?title=Special:UserLogin&type=signup.
Expected behaviour:
- Form is submitted without errors.
- User is redirected back to en.wikipedia via login.wikimedia.
Actual behaviour:
- Form is submitted.
- User is redirected to login.wikimedia where an error is displayed and the redirect chain is aborted early
