How do you report a bug?

Postby Vetinari » 28 Apr 2013 11:37

I tried clicking the link on the 'Report Bugs] page and was told I was not logged in (although I clearly am).

Tried clicking on the 'Login' link and got this:

/index.php
There is currently no text in this page. You can search for this page title in other pages, or search the related logs, but you do not have permission to create this page.

It's working fine for me, login is using HTTPS so make sure to allow secure connections and also clear your cookies before trying to log in again:
https://trac.videolan.org/vlc/login

Notice your forum account does not work on the trac, you need to create another specific account.

I started a browser that has never accessed the VLC site.

Went to the 'Report Bugs' page and clicked 'Create account'.

Once again, I got this message:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
/index.php

There is currently no text in this page. You can search for this page title in other pages, or search the related logs, but you do not have permission to create this page.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


This is the URL: http://wiki.videolan.org/index.php?titl ... ype=signup

The page in question is clearly from VLN and it's hard to see why it would claim there is no text on a page on the basis of any cookies.
