I've been trying to install the GlobalBlocking extension on my wikis. I'm put in the database like usual, but when I load the extension, I get this
"(Can't contact the database server: Access denied for user 'techman224'@'infong776.lxa.perfora.net'(using password: YES) <url to database server not pubic>" nfong776.lxa.perfora.net is not a database server, it's a webserver which my mediawiki wiki is. And it's trying to connect to the real database server using that address. It should be the one the installaton's set in localsettings.php.
When the extension is loaded, I can't do nothing unless I unload the extension. That's why I've set it a higher severity. I know it says on the extension page that the database has to be on the same host, but if the database is external, it will block everyone trying to use it on a remote database.
Version: unspecified
Severity: critical
