.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?

Special:Import error
I fixed this error by setting $wgDBmysql5 = false;

When trying to upload a png image to the site: Upload warning The file is corrupt or has an incorrect extension. Please check the file and upload again. I've had this problem before, and fixed it before, but I can't remember or find how...

 * Silly question, do you have all the file uploading settings correct? Including file extensions allowed etc? -- Dr DBW |  talk  04:09, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

I am getting the following error when uploading a new version of an image. I can upload an image the first time without a problem, but when when I click the "upload a new version of this ..." link, browse to a new file, and click Upload, I get this error:

PHP Notice: Undefined variable: pageText in C:\inetpub\wwwroot\BSWiki\includes\specials\SpecialUpload.php on line 576

Help for adding 7z file type to upload
Hello, I am trying to add the "7z" extension to upload on the wiki :
 * MediaWiki version: 1.11.0 (Upgrad not possible at this time)
 * PHP version: 5.2.0-8+etch7 (apache2handler)
 * MySQL version: .0.32-Debian_7etch1
 * URL: http://theelderscrolls.wiwiland.net
 * On LocalSetting.php, I add the line $wgFileExtensions = array('png', 'gif', 'jpg', 'jpeg', '7z');.
 * On Includes/mime.info, I add the line application/x-7z-compressed 	[ARCHIVE]
 * On Includes/mime.types, I add the line application/x-7z-compressed 7z

But, when I try to upload a 7z archive I have again the error The file may be corrupted, have a null size or have an invalid extension. (I don't know the exact error in english, in french is it : Ce fichier est corrompu, a une taille nulle ou possède une extension invalide. Veuillez vérifier le fichier.)

How can I add the 7z extension to upload ?

Thanks —77.197.237.128 11:07, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

"Upload file" link in sidebar is converted to "Wikipedia:Upload" (rather than the expected "Special:Upload")

 * MediaWiki version: 1.15.1
 * PHP version: 5.2.8 (apache2handler)
 * MySQL version: 5.0.67-log
 * URL:

Recent update to MW 1.15.1, as well as minor modifications to a few other areas of the wiki configuration.

The "Upload file" link in the sidebar now takes users to a page reference of "Wikipedia:Upload", not the expected "Special:Upload" page.

I know that most sidebar entries are editable within "Mediawiki:Sidebar", but not the toolbox entries. How can these entries be changed?

Specifically: What happened to result in this modification? What configuration needs to be changed to eliminate the inexplicable reference to "Wikipedia" (not "Mediawiki", but that separate, unrelated site) in my wiki-specific sidebar?

File upload breaks in 1.15.1

 * MediaWiki version: 1.15.1
 * PHP version:  5.2.6 (apache2handler)
 * MySQL version: 5.0.77
 * URL: http://tekstopia.uio.no/mediawiki_15/index.php/Special:Upload

On upgrading from MW 1.11 to 1.15.1 (yes I should have done this a while ago), I suddenly am unable to enable uploads. Tried this on my test server first, and was told file uploads was disabled in php (although it is definitely not). I thought the test server might be messed up somehow, so I set up a test version in a folder on the live server, and got the same error there. I have double checked with phpinfo, and file_uploads is definitely on (and post_max_size and upload_max_filesize are both 8M). It is a fresh MW installation in the same environment that my working live server is running. Anyone got any idea what can be causing this? —Anderssl 17:46, 11 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Update: There is an error message in the logs on my server saying that ini_get is disabled for security reasons. Presumably this is the cause. Will check with the server admins and report back if that doesn't solve it. --Anderssl 22:29, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

Upload directory (public) is not writable by the webserver

 * MediaWiki version: 1.15.1
 * PHP version: 5.2.8 (apache2handler)
 * MySQL version: 5.0.51a-log
 * URL: http://wiki.pdaxrom.org/index.php/Main_Page

Hi! I set the /images folder permission "775" (even try to set "777") and in LocalSettings.php type the following: $wgEnableUploads = true; (according the User Guide)

But when I trying to upload a file such error is occured: Internal error The upload directory (public) is not writable by the webserver.

How I can set the permission to upload file using webserver?
