My wiki is lacking the functionality to recover a
username or password
using an email address. The installed version is 1.24.2.
I have noticed that v 1.26.2 has this functionality by default.
How can I enable this recovery function on v 1.24.2?
This is also a feature in 1.24.2 But it can be tricky to get working "out
of the box".
There is the $wgEnableEmail setting which must be turned on (
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgEnableEmail)
If that's already on, it's probably the hosting environment preventing
email. If you have shell access, can you send email? Try the following
line
echo test | mail -s "test mail from command-line" you(a)example.com
If that goes through, there are some specific things you might try like
turning on the mail log to debug MediaWiki.
I've written up some additional tips at
