(OUTDATED) Upload File Link Alteration

 * URL: Not Public

Hi, I have managed to upgrade my wiki from 1.11 to the above version although when logged in the 'Upload file' link in the 'toolbox' points me to Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Upload), how can i change this so it points me to the correct upload page? (http://testroom/iroom/index.php/Special:Upload)

Many Thanks,

Hi everyone,

My File Upload page is empty except for its headline and sidebar, and the following warning:

Warning: call_user_func(wfSpecialUpload) [function.call-user-func]: First argument is expected to be a valid callback in           /homepages/20/d194726613/htdocs/Twiki/includes/SpecialPage.php on line 748

does anyone know this issue?

Thanks a lot.

(RESOLVED) Unable to raise file upload size limit larger than 8Mb's

 * MediaWiki version: 1.13.1
 * PHP version: 5.2.4-2ubuntu5.3 (apache2handler)
 * MySQL version: 5.0.51a-3ubuntu5.1
 * URL: Private wiki

I edited my wiki's php.ini file to set the file upload limit to 20M. However, I'm still unable to upload files larger than 8Mb. Am I missing some essential step to raise the upload size limit cap? I would really appreciate some help with this problem.

 * What error message do you get when you try to upload files larger than 8MB? I'm guessing that either you're editing the wrong php.ini file or your host doesn't allow you to change memory_limit. —Emufarmers(T 00:33, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

(RESOLVED) System Slow down after upgrading to 1.13.2

 * MediaWiki version: 1.13.2
 * PHP version: 5.2.0-8+etch13 (apache2handler)
 * MySQL version: 5.0.32-Debian_7etch8-log
 * URL: http://poseidon.cie.lan/ciepedia

After upgrading our intranet wiki from 1.11.0 to this version, the wiki has become very slow charging pages, and writing changes after editing. Other effects have been the lose of the personal logo, and the empty :Help pages, both already corrected.

Any idea where to look for the cause of this slow down of the wiki?

 * Is $wgReadOnly set to true?
 * Is an extension causing a lock? (Should no longer happen, but...)
 * Is there some as-yet-undetermined problem?

To authorize user to enable uploading, I have to give write permission with chmod 777 to public folder. Where is this public folder located? Are all uploaded files get stored in the public folder?
