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 (Upload), how can i change this so it points me to the correct upload page? (http://testroom/iroom/index.php/Special:Upload)

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

"The upload directory (public) is missing"
I upgraded my wiki to use MW 1.14, and now users cannot upload files anymore. When files are tried to upload, the user gets redirected to a page titled "Internal error", which tells him/her the following: "The upload directory (public) is missing and could not be created by the webserver."

Where should such a file exist? --Erkkimon


 * I was running in to the same issue on my wiki after having upgraded to MW 1.14. All of my permissions looked as if they where set right, but to verify I ran the following commands under UNIX from in the images directory:

Uploading any kind of file fails - loops back to empty upload form

 * MediaWiki version: 1.13.2
 * PHP version: 5.2.8 (cgi-fcgi)
 * MySQL version: 5.0.67-community
 * Installed Extensions:
 * ParserFunctions version: 1.1.1 (stable)
 * BoardVote version: r37462 (stable)
 * MultipleUpload version: 1.0 (stable)
 * Google Maps Extension version: 0.9.3) (beta)

I am having problems using the MediaWiki upload feature. The upload form will load fine, which I fill in with the location of a image or other allowed file type plus write a small description beneath.

The problems begin when I press the upload button, because the upload page will load up again with all fields blank. Attempting a refresh at this point in time would ask if I wanted to resend the post/get data generated from the form on the previous page.. so something is coming out of the form. I then checked the upload log, and there was no records of any uploaded files. I checked the location where the images should have been stored via FTP according to LocalSettings.php and the folder remained empty, aside from the "README" file which was there right from the word go. And yes, the folder had the correct CHMOD permissions.

I enabled error reporting via php.ini and repeated the above steps however no issues were reported either before or after the form's "upload file" button was pressed. (I hard refreshed and attempted uploading again to make sure it wasn't a cache problem too)

Also, I went ahead and turned off the extensions that were installed to check if they were causing the problem before running the above steps yet again. This wasn't the case.

Changing the skin I was using made no difference to the problem. I also tried setting $wgHashedUploadDirectory to false to see if this could have been the cause. No luck, though.

As a last resort I set $wgAllowCopyUploads to true, uploaded a file via FTP into a public directory and then brought it into the wiki that way.. again, no luck at all as it just reloaded the upload form blank.

Is anybody able to shed some light on this problem?

When logged in as WikiSysop (the only user on the system so far) and I try and upload an image in my Wiki (version 1.12.0) I get the following message:-

"File uploads are disabled on Systems."

I have followed the instructions at:-

mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Configuring_file_uploads

I have confirmed the following settings:-

file_uploads = On

Check Apache aliases - I have not been able to check, would this cause the above message?

www.mydomain.com/wiki/images is set to 755 I have also tried 777

Safe Mode is off

$wgEnableUploads = true;

As far as I can see there are no permissions set in LocalSettings.php in fact no variables at all with the text "permissions" in them.

Uploading large file results in an empty upload form.

 * MediaWiki version: 1.13.2
 * PHP version: 5.2.5
 * MySQL version: 5.0.51a
 * URL: (internal)

I am having trouble uploading large pdf files, smaller files work fine. When I upload a file of around 24MB, it brings me to a new upload form with all the fields empty. I checked the uploaded file log and there is nothing that hints at the file that I attempted to upload. Hitting reload also gives me a "resend" option. The 'Maximum File Size' is shown as 32MB on the page.

I have changed the following parameters in my php.ini file:

memory_limit = 256M

post_max_size = 256M

upload_max_filesize = 256M

I have also added the following variables to the LocalSettings.php file:

$wgUploadSizeWarning = 268435456;

$wgMaxUploadSize = 268435456;

I have restarted my Apache server everytime I changed these variables. Even after changing these variables the Maximum File Size stays at 32MB.

This seems to be a similar issue to what Marquisite is having, with the exception that smaller files do upload fine.

I was wondering if someone could help me with this issue as I would like to be able to upload files with sizes up to 256MB.

Thank you,

Chris

$wgUploadSizeWarning does not work

I have changed the maximum filesize for uploads in my php.ini and it works. In order to warn users who are trying to upload larger files I have also changed $wgUploadSizeWarning in my LocalSettings.php but MediaWiki does not display any warning. It only reports an error message saying the uploaded file would be empty and there could be a typing error in the filename. What's wrong?

uploading files - public/9/97
Hi - I have mediawiki 1.14.0 - and I'm a bit new to this.. installed apache2triad 1.5.4 to install php, apache and mysql. apache 2.2.0 mysql 	5.0.18 PHP 	5.1.2 Everything loads fine - you can look at this at

I have been playing all up on this one problem for about 15 hours so far, and I've exhausted google and the web - well as far as I could find out. I have the same problem that a few people have had when uploading files. the damned error of Could not create directory "public/9/97".  with a different file - it's creating a different directory (or at least it's trying to) eg:public/6/63 or such.

I have been through the normal things you check and played a little bit, but I'm just after a little bit of clarification to see if I have stuffed something up somewhere. Media wiki is in E:\apache2triad\htdocs\mediawiki-     and within that folder is the 'images' folder that is supposed to be the upload folder. Here is a copy of my LocalSettings.php document.

I have recieved the error of [28-Feb-2009 17:25:27] PHP Warning: mkdir: No such file or directory in E:\apache2triad\htdocs\mediawiki-\includes\GlobalFunctions.php on line 1943 <-- from my php log, but I have no idea what this means if anything.. I have logged in safe mode and changed the permissions to allow everything on the images folder. and I have enabled file uploads in php.ini.

if( defined( 'MW_INSTALL_PATH' ) ) { $IP = MW_INSTALL_PATH; } else { $IP = dirname( __FILE__ ); }

I tried different types of files from jpg to png, zip and pdf. Configurated the LocalSettings.php and looked into the mime.types and mimemagic.php and all types, which I had tested were in this files. I tested it on a local machine an it works without problems.

Very slow uploads and non-starting uploads
Sometimes, far too often, upload slows to the point of just not working. It seems that the page gets stuck updating, nothing is uploaded. This happens via localhost as well as when logged in from an external. I have rather a lot of data to upload so this is something of an issue for me.

(RESOLVED) Upload page doesn't upload anything... same with export page.

 * MediaWiki version: 1.15.0
 * PHP version: 5.2.9
 * MySQL version: 5.0.77

Absolutely no clue what the problem is. I try to upload a file, image, doesn't matter what, and the Upload page just comes back like a blank form, as if nothing had been done. I checked everything possible... error logs, PHP errors (not sure I did that correctly however), folder permissions for 'images', nothing works. Some one else had the exact same problem, but you never answered. Does anyone have some sort of solution?

Oh yeah, and unlike everybody else, I have no folder under 'images', if that helps.

And please, at least try to give an answer. Don't skip over it like you seem to do to every other problem... 99.252.59.196 02:24, 18 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Everyone here is a volunteer, we donate our time and bandwidth to creating and supporting free software and free content. Everyone will work on what they choose to work on; no one can require us to work in one particular area.  If there is no response to this issue, it is because no one who knows what the solution is has chosen to review the support desk threads. Accusing people of "skipping over it like you seem to do to every other problem" is offensive and actively discourages such volunteers from wanting to help you. Happy ‑ melon 08:34, 18 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Alright, sorry, I've been trying to figure this out for three days now and was up all night in forums and the IRC chat trying to get help but everyone seems to ignore me. Kind of lost it here, seeing that many problems were overlooked, including a guy with an exact problem to mine in the archives. 99.252.59.196 12:55, 18 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Ok, at least you took the time to read the archives, which is more than many people manage. You say you've looked at the error logs, presumably without finding anything useful.  Have you enabled extended debugging?  There are a lot of switches you can flip to get more information about what's going on inside the clockwork; have a read of Manual:How to debug if you haven't already, and see if there's any more information you can squeeze out of it. Happy ‑ melon 13:06, 18 June 2009 (UTC)


 * I looked around a little, not sure how to do extended debugging, however I flipped on $wgShowDebug, and when trying to upload, nothing shows. The other guy in the archive couldn't debug anything out either, it was as if nothing was wrong. Although again, would it have to do with the fact that I have no subfolders under my 'Images' folder? Wasn't it supposed to be created during the installation, or was it supposed to be done when my first images upload?


 * I could try creating them myself, maybe that's what the form is looking for... don't know the folder names though. And thanks for the help. 99.252.59.196 15:31, 18 June 2009 (UTC)


 * $wgShowDebug will just add stuff in an HTML comment at the end of the page, assuming that the thread gets far enough through the process to actually start rendering the page, which it sounds like it isn't. Try enabling PHP errors if they're not already, and the debug log (How to debug) to get data that's not dependent on the process actually finishing. Happy ‑ melon 15:36, 18 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Enabled PHP errors, nothing, tried to create a log, didn't seem to be working (have a feeling I didn't do that right though...) 99.252.59.196 15:56, 18 June 2009 (UTC)


 * If it worked, it will get tons of stuff poured into it on every page view, successful or not. So if the log stays empty when you view or do things to the wiki, it's not set up right. Happy ‑ melon 16:07, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

Well the instructions are rather vague. "after the invocation of DefaultSettings.php" means what exactly? Is there a specific place in Localsettings I have to add $wgDebugLogFile? Because right now, there is no log file. 99.252.59.196 19:36, 18 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Ahh, whatever. I'm sick of this problem, so I'll reconfigure my whole wiki... I'll see if it solves the problem.

EDIT: Found the solution: People with this problem shortened the URL link with the wrong codes. They have to follow the instructions here. 99.252.59.196 20:54, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

How can I upload excel, word, pdf etc. without using the conversion function via html?

Potential bug in FSRepo.php causes image uploads to fail on Windows server: Internal error - Could not create directory

 * MediaWiki version: 1.15.0
 * PHP version: 5.1.6 (apache2handler)
 * MySQL version: 5.0.45-community-nt
 * URL: index.php?title=Special:Upload (on a private wiki)

I've been trying to debug file uploads on my Windows server. After going to Special:Upload and uploading a jpg (an allowed format) it would die with something like this: Internal error

Could not create directory "public/a/a5".

It would also generate a PHP error: Warning: mkdir [function.mkdir]: No such file or directory in \includes\GlobalFunctions.php on line 2012

I did some debugging and mkdir is called by wfMkdirParents which in this case is called by publishBatch in FSRepo.php line 298: if ( !is_dir( $dstDir ) && !wfMkdirParents( $dstDir ) ) {

I think the $dstDir path is not a valid one on the Windows server because the path is constructed manually in publishBatch using forward slashes ("/"), so what gets eventually passed to mkdir is something that looks like this: C:\my\path\htdocs\mediawiki/images/a/a5

I added this statement to GlobalFunctions.php at line 2011 to fix the path: $dir = str_replace('/', '\\', $dir);

So $dir was changed to something like this: C:\my\path\htdocs\mediawiki\images\a\a5

This solved my problem and I was able to upload files. Perhaps FSRepo.php needs to be more sensitive to servers that require a backslash as a path separator? Or is there a better way to fix this problem?

I am not running PHP in safe_mode and I have left $wgHashedUploadDirectory defaulted to true.

 * --JuergenL 12:43, 22 July 2009 (UTC)


 * OK, it seems there is a disconnect between what actually is in /images/ and what the database thinks there is. I had to delete all my pictures and re-upload them. That fixed the black thumbnails/permission denied errors. Thi all occurred because I upgraded to 1.15.1 from 1.14 something. The upgrade script bombed out saying no connection to the database could be found despite the settings being right. So, I had to reinstall the Wiki using the upgrade/reinstall guide found here. This is when everything started to go south. Somehow, the database wasn't upgraded correctly or something and what exists in my /images/ folder didn't correlate with what the db said. This is my guess. Anyhow, it's all fixed, but I'll be wary of upgrading anything from here on. Peter Greenwell 14:01, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

Error 500 on IIS7 when uploading a newer file version

 * MediaWiki version: 1.15.1
 * PHP version: 5.2.9 (CGI)
 * MySQL version: 5.1.31
 * URL: intranet only

I successfully managed to install Mediawiki on an IIS7. Uploading works fine until one decides to upload a newer version of a file. Then the script dies with a 500 error. PHP logs and IIS logs DO NOT show any anomalities. When one uploads a newer version of a file, UNCHECKS the "ignore warnings" checkbox and accepts to overwrite everything works fine.

It would be helpful if there was an easy way to uncheck the "ignore warnings" checkbox by default. Thanks in advance for any help!

 * You have to make the upload directory (folder) writable by the user running the webserver. This is something that is done on the webserver itself, not in the MediaWiki code. See Manual:Configuring file uploads for details. Doing this right is important for the security of the server, so if you have no idea what all of this means you should probably talk to your server administrator. --Anderssl 19:18, 16 September 2009 (UTC)

Best Regards, S. Weicht

Edit:

Ok, you are looking for a solution for hours. But after you post here, you will find the solution: Its just the safemode-Problem, bit without safemode. xampp on Windows seems to work the same way.

image size vs image dimensions

 * MediaWiki version: MediaWiki: 1.6.12
 * PHP version: PHP: 4.3.11 (cgi-fcgi)
 * MySQL version: MySQL: 4.1.14
 * Server: Yahoo
 * URL: http://www.zamboanga.com/z

My wiki creates server errors whenever image files are uploaded with dimensions larger than 1600x1200. Pages linke to the image page with an image file larger than 1600x1200 are also disabled and inaccessible.

So when the image page can't be accessed. I have to go to the image file itself and see what the dimension is, save it to my local drive, reduce the size to 1600x1200 and then re-upload it using the very same file name. The wiki then restores the image page and the linked pages. The size of the file does not seem to bother the image page. The size of the file can be 160,000 or over 1 meg as long as it does not exceed the dimensions of 1600x1200 the wiki will take it.

Even if the image file is only 560k but if it's 1700x1250 or anything over 1600x1200 the wiki will cause an error and the page will not be displayed even if the file was uploaded.

How and where do I go to correct this image size issue.

--Kuhitkuhit 21:54, 12 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Do you use GD for image handling? Looks like an out-of-memory condition, see here how to fix it if. No matter how small your JPEG may be, it still needs to be uncompressed for thumbnailing, for example 1700x1250 is over 6 megabytes uncompressed. With additional smaller buffers for processing, it could eat lots of memory. By the way, your MediaWiki version is pretty old, and although it's officially "supported" with security patches, other bugs are unlikely to be fixed. PHP4 is out of support for over a year, so probably it's time to move to something newer. Max Semenik 18:06, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

Hello,

I am attempting to upload a file, an image in this particular case but I presume could be anything, in my MediaWiki installation. I pressed the Upload File link in the Tools box and got to the Upload File page. I selected the file with no problems, but when I clicked on the 'Upload file' button, I keep getting an error no matter what I try and do. Obviously, I am not doing the right thing.

Error - PHP Warning: filesize [function.filesize]: stat failed for C:\WINNT\TEMP\php1399.tmp in <>\mediawiki\includes\filerepo\File.php on line 1160


 * Note the temporary file changes each time.

Internal Error

Could not find file "C:\WINNT\TEMP\php1390.tmp"

-
 * Note the temporary file changes each time.

I opened the File.php error and saw:

$info['size'] = filesize( $path );

I also tried contacting my web host provider. They responded as follows:

'Please contact your web developer to change the default temporary upload path from c:\winnt\temp to your member folder. Then your issue should be solved.'

I am the web developer and the one that posted the request to them, not that it helped resolve anything.

I did notice the following in the 'DefaultSettings.php' file.

$wgUploadPath      = false; ///< defaults to "{$wgScriptPath}/images" $wgUploadDirectory	= false; ///< defaults to "{$IP}/images" $wgTmpDirectory    = false; ///< defaults to "{$wgUploadDirectory}/tmp"

I tried modifying them in the LocalSettings.php file to see if it would make a difference. The answer was a resounding no, so I took out what I added. I added temporary:

$wgTmpDirectory = "{$IP}/images/tmp";

What is causing the error that prevents me from uploading any files?

Thanks in advance.

(UNRESOLVED) Internal Error (could not rename file) when uploading files

 * MySQL version: 5.0.67-community-nt
 * URL: (internal)
 * Server is running Windows Server 2003, fully updated

Since updating to MediaWiki version 1.14, I have had this error and I still cannot work out how to resolve it. I have since updated to version 1.15, but I still get this problem.

What happens:

When I upload any image file (I have tested .png and .jpg, same result), I get the message (or one like it):

Internal Error Could not rename file "C:\PHP\uploadtemp\phpB951.tmp" to "public/d/d4/testimage.jpg".

I have verified that the D:\DATA\Mediawiki\images\d\d4 folder is created if it did not already exist, but the image is not moved into that folder.

What I expected to happen:

The file uploads, and a success message is displayed.

Some information on my setup:


 * PHP is installed at C:\PHP
 * Mediawiki is installed at D:\DATA\Mediawiki

What I have already tried:


 * I have set upload-tmp-dir in php.ini to C:\PHP\uploadtemp
 * I checked that Safe Mode is Off in php.ini
 * I have (recursively) set all permissions to "allow everything" for both the Everyone and the IUSR_Whatever user on both the C:\PHP\uploadtemp and the D:\DATA\Mediawiki\images directories.
 * I have tried messing with the $wgUploadDirectory and related parameters (I have since reverted these changes)
 * I have excluded the C:\PHP\uploadtemp and the D:\DATA\Mediawiki\images directories from the virus scanner.
 * I have run Sysinternals Process Monitor to see what the PHP process is doing:
 * It uploads the file to C:\PHP\uploadtemp
 * It creates the folder D:\DATA\Mediawiki\images\d\d4
 * It checks whether D:\DATA\Mediawiki\images\d\d4\testimage.jpg already exists
 * A CreateFile and subsequently CloseFile operation is logged with path D:\DATA\Mediawiki\images\d\d4
 * It deletes the temporary file from C:\PHP\uploadtemp
 * I have tried messing with the $wgHashedUploadDirectory parameter (I have since reverted these changes)
 * I have disabled my (2) extensions by commenting out the include statements in LocalSettings.php

Thanks in advance for any suggestions to solve this problem!

I solved the problem on my *nix system by recursively changing the permissions of all of the directories to 0777. Just changing the images/ didn't work, you have to change all of the subdirectories too.
