.TMP File issue?

 * Mediawiki Version: latest
 * PHP version Latest
 * mySQL latest

When Users try to upload images onto the wiki, they get a error that states "Cannot find C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\PHP"X" Whereas X indicates a letter (currently PHPc.tmp) I've disabled Imagemagic(sp?) and I am still getting an error. Can I remote host the images and what tag would I use to embed it?

i don'tage bing tag'Bold text''[Link title] == [[File:Headline text[[Media: Example.ogg --~Insert non-formatted text here

]]''' -
 * 1) REDIRECT — ==


 * Mediawiki Version: 1.13.2
 * PHP version: 5.2.6
 * mySQL: 5.0.51a

Getting the same error message: "Cannot find C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\PHP"X" intermittently when uploading files. Tried changing upload_tmp_dir directive and other settings in PHP.ini but nothing seems to work. Does anyone know what might be causing this error?

Error deleting file: Could not create directory "deleted/d/2/n" (or the like).

Hi, I have the problem that I get an error message when trying to delete images from our wiki. It says: "Error deleting file: Could not create directory "deleted/d/2/n" (or the like).

I found that the permissions of the ./images/deleted directory can not be changed to 777. Apparently it was made (or is owned) by another user. I have no root access, so I can't chown the directory.

I also tried to create another directory (del), set its permissions to 777. And then included in the LocalSettings.php :

$wgFileStore['deleted']['directory'] = "$wgUploadPath/del"; $wgFileStore['deleted']['url'] = null; $wgFileStore['deleted']['hash'] = 0;

This doesn't help either. Even worse, after trying to delete a file, it turned out that also the owner of del was changed...

Any suggestions?

-> I managed to resolve it myself, after browsing mediawiki and Google for the same problem. It turned out that Safe_Mode should be tunred off (search on Safe_Mode for instructions how to do that).

Upload Zip Files
I need to be able to upload zip files and possibly a few other extension to my Wiki. I have searched and read pages but am still unable to work out how to do this. Please if you do have a solution for me include the file name that I would need to edit to change or add code into

You can add this to LocalSettings.php:

$wgFileExtensions[] = 'doc';

Don't know if it works for ZIP files though.

uploading documents

 * MediaWiki version: 1.14.0
 * PHP version: 5.1.6
 * MySQL version: 5.0.22
 * URL:

Hi folks,

I encounter the following problem when uploading a document. When I uploaded a document and then upload a new version of the document, I can't see the new version of the document when I download it. Another user can see it. After an hour or so I'm also able to see the updated document. I tried it with the IE and Firefox, same problem. I also emptied my cach and all other options within the browser, so I guess it has to do with the MediaWiki itself. Thanks for your support.

Linking to non-image files (solved)
MediaWiki	1.15.1 PHP	5.2.9 (apache2handler) MySQL	5.0.89-community

How can I link to a non-image file without saying File:filename.pdf for the link? It would be very nice if I could do this much like the wiki does for external links.

Thanks

 * Fixed - here.

Allowing additional file types to be uploaded

 * MediaWiki version: 1.15.1
 * PHP version: 5.2.9 (apache2handler)
 * MySQL version: 5.0.32-Debian_7etch5~imedia.1-log
 * URL:

File upload error: The file is corrupt or has an incorrect extension. Please check the file and upload again.

Added 'sldprt', 'sldasm', 'slddrw', 'eprt', 'easm', 'edrw', 'dwg' to $wgFileExtensions in LocalSetting.php

Added application/octet-stream sldprt sldasm slddrw eprt easm edrw dwg in includes/mime.types

Added application/octet-stream [MULTIMEDIA] in includes/mime.info

I'm not sure if MULTIMEDIA was the appropriate defined media type or if it really matters. Please let me know the correct method for enabling the upload of these file types (CAD drawing files)

Is there a way to have uploaded files Namespace automatically set to Media, or something other than Image?

Internal Error when uploading images

 * MySQL version: 5.0.51a-3ubuntu5.4
 * URL: http://www.brod.med.br

I have read several posts regarding the same problem and still was not able to figure out what is going on. I do have other systems installed in my server (such as Drupal) using exactly the same structures and file uploads work fine. I have set $wgHashedUploadDirectory = false and this only changed the mkdir error from not being able to create the directory public/f/f1 to not being able to create the directory public/archive. The public directory is now 777 and I even tried to create by hand the archive directory with no success.

I am pretty new to MediaWiki and I am sure I am missing something. All help is welcome!

MediaWiki version: 1.14.0

PHP version: 5.2.8 (apache2handler)

MySQL version: 5.1.30-community-log

Hi I have a wiki that is locked down so that a certain group [users] is unable to create new pages. They are able to edit existing pages but unable to add new ones. I need this group to be able to upload images. Currently they get an error stating that they are unable to create or edit pages so an image cannot be uploaded.

I am unsure how to get around this issue. Can anyone guide me in the right direction to fix the issue.

Regards Hayden
