Manual talk:$wgForeignFileRepos

apiThumbCacheExpiry - How is the value interpreted? In minutes, seconds, milliseconds??? --G.Hagedorn 17:43, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

Setting $wgHTTPTimeout higher can sometimes help with timeout problems. --Tgr 19:26, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

apiThumbCacheDir doesn't seem to have any effect, thumbs will be cached in images/thumb regardless of what it's set --Tgr 19:40, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

Using files from Wikimedia Commons
I followed Manual:$wgForeignFileRepos but the wiki goes blank when I hit preview or submit with an image tag that doesn't exist in the wiki (and presumably the wiki will attempt to find for it on commons). I am using MediaWiki 1.13.3. Example: (removed) Why would this be? --Yonghokim 17:59, 20 January 2009 (UTC)
 * As stated on the page, it requires PHP 5.2.0 or greater, you seem to have only PHP 5.1.6. i Alex  19:44, 20 January 2009 (UTC)
 * I upgraded to PHP 5.2 and it works. Thank you! --Yonghokim 00:58, 21 January 2009 (UTC)

EXIF errors
We're running MediaWiki 1.14.0 and PHP 5.2 and everything works just fine except when viewing the images. PHP Warnings are generated: http://pastebin.vanonymous.org/pastebin.php?show=8 The page loads fine, however when attempting to view the metadata table the info doesn't exist.

Similar error
@ http://wikademia.org/File:Coffee_at_King's_Road_Café.jpg I get the error: "Warning: preg_match expects parameter 2 to be string, array given in..."

This only appears on some images. For example:

http://wikademia.org/File:Haeckel_Florideae_Chondrus_crispus.png

That image does not display the error.

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
