You could try this, just to put my mind at ease:

$wgWhitelistRead = array("Main Page");

I'm not 100%, but I believe the space makes the difference.

Include "-" in the whitelist.

Include "-" in the whitelist.

What do you mean by include "-" that looks like a hyphen is that an underscore??? Do you mean "Main_Page"

I tried that below but I still get the same error...

$wgWhitelistRead=array("Main_Page","Special:Userlogin","MediaWiki:Monobook.js","MediaWiki:Monobook.css");

I am also getting this on version 1.5.3

$wgWhitelistRead=array("Main Page","Special:Userlogin","MediaWiki:Monobook.js","MediaWiki:Monobook.css");
$wgGroupPermissions['*']['createaccount'] = false;
$wgGroupPermissions['*']['read'] = false;
$wgGroupPermissions['*']['edit'] = false;

This is my permissions settings let me know if there is a way to fix this????

"-" means "-". Have you tried it?

Adding "-" into the array works!
