.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?

Special:Import error
I fixed this error by setting $wgDBmysql5 = false;

I have been creating a wiki on my localhost, it is a dell laptop,i have a dual boot, and have it on both the linux and windows sides, i have been creating it as a test for my company, i have found a variable in LocalSettings.php "$wgUploadDirectory" that can change the upload directory from the images directory in mediawiki, to another directory outside the mediawiki directory, namely a shared directory for the business, or as a test, MyDocuments directory in my C: drive. The documentation i've found is good, but not specific as to how you point it to a local directory outside of the mediawiki directory, i tried adding this line

$wgUploadDirectory = "C:\Documents and Settings\IDT user\My Documents"

and i got this error message: "Parse error: parse error in C:\xampp\htdocs\mediawiki\LocalSettings.php on line 133" which is the line i added. anyhelp you can as to what i need to add or what variable value i can put, to allow this to work would be appreciated.

 * No idea about things on a windows server, however I get the feeling it is probably having difficulties with the spaces in the directory you gave it. -- Dr DBW |  talk  04:08, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

Hi! I can't manage to allow file / image uploads with the FCKEditor extension. I have followed the steps here: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Configuring_file_uploads

When I click "Insert image" in the editor, the "Browse" button isn't there. I would like to allow image uploads in the editor.

Thanks,

Help for adding 7z file type to upload
Hello, I am trying to add the "7z" extension to upload on the wiki :
 * MediaWiki version: 1.11.0 (Upgrad not possible at this time)
 * PHP version: 5.2.0-8+etch7 (apache2handler)
 * MySQL version: .0.32-Debian_7etch1
 * URL: http://theelderscrolls.wiwiland.net
 * On LocalSetting.php, I add the line $wgFileExtensions = array('png', 'gif', 'jpg', 'jpeg', '7z');.
 * On Includes/mime.info, I add the line application/x-7z-compressed 	[ARCHIVE]
 * On Includes/mime.types, I add the line application/x-7z-compressed 7z

But, when I try to upload a 7z archive I have again the error The file may be corrupted, have a null size or have an invalid extension. (I don't know the exact error in english, in french is it : Ce fichier est corrompu, a une taille nulle ou possède une extension invalide. Veuillez vérifier le fichier.)

How can I add the 7z extension to upload ?
