Thread:Project:Support desk/InstantCommons suddenly is not working/reply (10)

Also see Manual:$wgForeignFileRepos. It is important to use HTTPS and not HTTP in the links pointing to the Wikipedia commons. The Wikimedia guys have changed their setup, redirecting people from HTTP to HTTPS and this change basically caused the issue we got reported here. This change has been reverted for now (so that it's again working also with HTTP), but it is still planned to switch to HTTPS in the future (see ).

The solution is to use HTTPS in the URLs pointing to the commons repository! $wgForeignFileRepos has to be adjusted accordingly! See Manual:$wgForeignFileRepos!
