.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?

Unable to upload images after update from 1.12. to 1.14

 * MediaWiki version: 1.14.0
 * PHP version: 5.26
 * MySQL version: 5
 * URL: Private intranet

I updated using the first method and all went well.

Browsing around the wiki, adding or editing is no problem.

The issue I have is that I cannot upload anything. once I submit an image I just get a white screen.

below is the results in my log file.

What should i change in the Localsettings.php? Can you please help?

Very slow uploads and non-starting uploads
Sometimes, far too often, upload slows to the point of just not working. It seems that the page gets stuck updating, nothing is uploaded. This happens via localhost as well as when logged in from an external. I have rather a lot of data to upload so this is something of an issue for me.

My site has safe_mode set to On so I followed the instructions from http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Safe_mode#Image_upload_and_deletion_workaround and I'm still getting the classical upload error: The upload directory (public) is not writable by the webserver.

Images folder has 755 and images/archive, images/temp, images/deleted, and images/thumb directories have 777.

Somehow I got it to work (reuploading all files) but now thumbnails aren't working (they are not shown even source image exists on the server.

How can I fix it? Thanks

(RESOLVED) Upload page doesn't upload anything... same with export page.

 * MediaWiki version: 1.15.0
 * PHP version: 5.2.9
 * MySQL version: 5.0.77

Absolutely no clue what the problem is. I try to upload a file, image, doesn't matter what, and the Upload page just comes back like a blank form, as if nothing had been done. I checked everything possible... error logs, PHP errors (not sure I did that correctly however), folder permissions for 'images', nothing works. Some one else had the exact same problem, but you never answered. Does anyone have some sort of solution?

Oh yeah, and unlike everybody else, I have no folder under 'images', if that helps.

And please, at least try to give an answer. Don't skip over it like you seem to do to every other problem... 99.252.59.196 02:24, 18 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Everyone here is a volunteer, we donate our time and bandwidth to creating and supporting free software and free content. Everyone will work on what they choose to work on; no one can require us to work in one particular area.  If there is no response to this issue, it is because no one who knows what the solution is has chosen to review the support desk threads. Accusing people of "skipping over it like you seem to do to every other problem" is offensive and actively discourages such volunteers from wanting to help you. Happy ‑ melon 08:34, 18 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Alright, sorry, I've been trying to figure this out for three days now and was up all night in forums and the IRC chat trying to get help but everyone seems to ignore me. Kind of lost it here, seeing that many problems were overlooked, including a guy with an exact problem to mine in the archives. 99.252.59.196 12:55, 18 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Ok, at least you took the time to read the archives, which is more than many people manage. You say you've looked at the error logs, presumably without finding anything useful.  Have you enabled extended debugging?  There are a lot of switches you can flip to get more information about what's going on inside the clockwork; have a read of Manual:How to debug if you haven't already, and see if there's any more information you can squeeze out of it. Happy ‑ melon 13:06, 18 June 2009 (UTC)


 * I looked around a little, not sure how to do extended debugging, however I flipped on $wgShowDebug, and when trying to upload, nothing shows. The other guy in the archive couldn't debug anything out either, it was as if nothing was wrong. Although again, would it have to do with the fact that I have no subfolders under my 'Images' folder? Wasn't it supposed to be created during the installation, or was it supposed to be done when my first images upload?


 * I could try creating them myself, maybe that's what the form is looking for... don't know the folder names though. And thanks for the help. 99.252.59.196 15:31, 18 June 2009 (UTC)


 * $wgShowDebug will just add stuff in an HTML comment at the end of the page, assuming that the thread gets far enough through the process to actually start rendering the page, which it sounds like it isn't. Try enabling PHP errors if they're not already, and the debug log (How to debug) to get data that's not dependent on the process actually finishing. Happy ‑ melon 15:36, 18 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Enabled PHP errors, nothing, tried to create a log, didn't seem to be working (have a feeling I didn't do that right though...) 99.252.59.196 15:56, 18 June 2009 (UTC)


 * If it worked, it will get tons of stuff poured into it on every page view, successful or not. So if the log stays empty when you view or do things to the wiki, it's not set up right. Happy ‑ melon 16:07, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

Well the instructions are rather vague. "after the invocation of DefaultSettings.php" means what exactly? Is there a specific place in Localsettings I have to add $wgDebugLogFile? Because right now, there is no log file. 99.252.59.196 19:36, 18 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Ahh, whatever. I'm sick of this problem, so I'll reconfigure my whole wiki... I'll see if it solves the problem.

EDIT: Found the solution: People with this problem shortened the URL link with the wrong codes. They have to follow the instructions here. 99.252.59.196 20:54, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
