Thread:Talk:MediaWiki 1.19/Thumbnails didn't work since Update to 1.19/reply (22)

I assume that's a typo, the variable name should have a 'g' as in $wgTmpDirectory, right? That doesn't quite fix the problem, though. There is a small change: Before the image that I'm trying to upload didn't show up at all on the File:Filename.jpg page (the one that comes up after you click upload) - even though the full version of the image did get uploaded, where it should show on the page was just the error message. Now the full version of the picture is shown, but in the "File History" table below the same error message is shown under "thumbnail". so I guess this modification made the script crash a little later in the process?

Looking in the "thumb" directory there are now empty directories, which each have the same filename as an image I have tried to upload. (E.g. 'images/thumb/PICT0157.jpg/').

If I switch over to using ImageMagick, I get a different error message, saying something about safe mode preventing an external program to be called. Which I guess supports the hypothesis that this fix removed one problem, but the script still crashes later on.

Thank you very much for taking an interest in my problem - will still be grateful if you have any other ideas for a solution...
