.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

 * 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

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.

Have turned off everything possible in the LocalSettings.php, and we are still getting this when trying to upload XML Code Snippets (Visual Studio .snippet).

This is an internal intranet Wiki, and don't care about ANY mime type or extension checking...

How can we get a page with .snippets as uploaded docs?

Linking to non-image files
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
