Hi there, Im Getting an Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_CLASS in MY-PATH line number.

It's complaining about this part 'class' => 'LocalS3Repo',

How can I fix this?

What version of Mediawiki, Linux/Windows, etc, do you have? Where exactly does the error show up? --Ejcaputo 09:52, 9 December 2010 (UTC)

Hello, I'm getting the following error:
 * CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION cannot be activated when safe_mode is enabled or an open_basedir is set in /f5/blah/public/extensions/LocalS3Repo/S3.php on line 1256

My host runs in safe mode, is there any way I can edit the script to make it work? A possible solution is provided here, but I'm not really sure what to do with that code to make this work. The file still seems to be uploaded to S3 but a bunch of errors come when uploading the file. Running Mediawiki 1.16.1. Thanks. ~d

Hmmm. That (S3.php) is a standard library... there is a comment about that problem here: http://drupal.org/node/665256

Posted by mike dodd on February 2, 2010 at 9:57am I can confirm with this line commented out everything works fine. not sure if will still work with the line in though? There are various versions of S3.php around, here's one which doesn't use that option: http://www.coreysconsulting.com/projects/s3scripts/asHtml/S3.php - but I didn't try it....

I just tried using that S3.php file you linked to but now I am unable to reach the upload page. I get the following error:
 * Fatal error: Call to undefined method S3::setAuth in /f5/blah/public/extensions/LocalS3Repo/FSs3Repo.php on line 26

I then tried commenting out the FOLLOWLOCATION line as mentioned above and that seems to get rid of the one error, but now I have another error:
 * SAFE MODE Restriction in effect. The script whose uid/gid is ####/#### is not allowed to access /var/tmp/ owned by uid/gid 0/0 in /f5/blah/public/extensions/LocalS3Repo/LocalS3File.php on line 612

Any ideas on this? ~d

Realized that I forgot to mention that the script seems to work (images are uploaded and can be embedded), it just happens to display those errors as well. Is it possible to just comment out the code that is generating those errors or otherwise hide them? ~d

This extension seems to be broken when using MediaWiki 1.17. Any thoughts on how it might be updated to work with that version?

When 1.17 is stable, I'll look at making it work. --Ejcaputo 17:12, 29 March 2011 (UTC)

Now that 1.17 is stable (and 1.17.1 is out), any chance you can update this extension? --cmoo92 17:32, 01 December 2011 (UTC)

Compatibility w/ 1.21
I have modified this extension to work with 1.21. I've also added some additional functionality so that when rendering images it can pull from CloudFront if desired. Here it is, YMMV: https://github.com/oborseth/LocalS3Repo2

Temp files
I just noticed that my /tmp directory is full of s3file-* and s3thumb-* files dating back to when I started using this extension. Can those be deleted? Is this something that the extension should be taking care of but is failing? &mdash;184.106.130.93 13:20, 31 March 2011 (UTC)

I see this too (Im on MW 1.15). It is caused by the extension calling S3::putObject but NOT deleting the file on-disk after the put. In some calls, the code does delete the file in /tmp but in many cases it does not. As well, the extension calls transform which creates the thumbnail - this leaves a bunch of files (0 bytes in length) in /tmp as well. I addressed the problem with this hook code:

function uploadCompleteHook(&$image) { $mask = wfTempDir. "/s3*"; // wfTempDir is '/tmp' on the Mac and Heroku Logger::debug("uploadCompleteHook called, removing files with mask $mask"); array_map('unlink', glob( $mask ) ); return true; } $wgHooks['UploadComplete'][]='uploadCompleteHook';

NOTE: this is called after the file is uploaded to the server but BEFORE the file is created in /tmp (and before its transferred to S3 by the extension). Thus, this hook will just delete temp files from a previous upload. This is likely A-OK since 1 set of files isnt going to fill /tmp.

Another note: the actual uploaded http files are put in the http upload directory (as defined by the upload_tmp_dir setting in php.ini - which defaults to /var/tmp on my Mac) and has nothing to do with this extension. Note though, the http upload code does delete its temp files.

I just uploaded a version without the temp file creation. https://bitbucket.org/nischayn22/locals3repo However it may not work if your files were already uploaded before installing the extension. Nischayn22 (talk) 07:46, 5 January 2018 (UTC)

Integration with 1.17, 1.18
This is such an important extension to be left alone. Any integration for >1.17 and 1.18 to make it use resourceloader?

Compatibility
How is compatibility with newer MW versions?

Not very good from what I can tell. I'm trying to get it working for 1.21 and it's been pretty difficult.

rollback not working properlly
Hi, this extension is working fine except revert file from files history. i am struggling on this issue. how can i debug this?

revert file not working properly
I am using Locals3Repo2 extension to upload files in s3. File upload is working fine.Its not working properly when i revert file from files history.

I am getting some error like Could not find file "mwrepo://s3/public/archive/20131219131341%21Test.mp3".

This file ( 20131219131341%21Test.mp3 ) is available in archive directory and i can play.

Please help me. How can i debug this?

Does not work properly with Private AWS Settings
So far I have attempted to test the ability to use private settings so that authentication is required.

1. It appears that the file can not be accessed to generate a temporary image once transferred to s3 without the key.

2. It appears that the file can not be accessed to generate a thumbnails image without the key.

3. I am trying to find out which function is requesting the image from s3 so ensure that the key is sent with it.

This is verified due to the extension works perfectly while the settings are set for everyone to view.

In review:

public function getPath - uses $s3->getObject without an authenticated key

function transform - Remove $thumb = $this->handler->getTransform( $this, $thumbPath, $thumbUrl, $params ); and it does not generate the image in public or private.

Hope this helps lead to a solution for this.

Does this extension create a local copy of the files as well?
Does this extension manage local copies of the file as well? I guess that could speed up lookups for thumbnails and could also be used as a backup if S3 is down? --Nischayn22 (talk) 15:02, 28 February 2017 (UTC)

Too many calls to S3 for thumbnails
Some of you might have seen a slow page load with this extension when you are using a thumb (resized) image. It seems the extension on every page load makes a request to S3 to check if the thumb image exists or not. This information should instead be cached somewhere locally. --Nischayn22 (talk) 04:46, 28 June 2017 (UTC)

I just uploaded a version without the temp file creation. https://bitbucket.org/nischayn22/locals3repo However it may not work if your files were already uploaded before installing the extension.Nischayn22 (talk) 07:46, 5 January 2018 (UTC)

[MW 1.28] Error While Storing
Upon trying to upload an image, I'm presented with the error:

There was an error while storing the file in the stash.

Error screenshot

S3 settings have been verified to work. I've tried with a private and public directory. The only thing I can think of is that it's not taking into account region; I'm using US-East-2 (Ohio), a non-default. Cloudfront is not used.

CDN Amazon Cloud Front for Mediawiki 1.27 LTS with shared hosting
Hello Is it possible to install CDN Amazon Cloud Front for my Mediawiki 1.27 LTS with shared hosting in Canada ? Do I need for that to install extension LocalS3 Repo ? In this case with only CDN Amazon Cloud Front, how is the code in the end of LocalSettings.php ? Thanks. Nono. Another possibility ? Is it better? https://www.sumologic.com/blog/devops/content-distribution-amazon-cloudfront/ Thanks. Nono.
