Have a problem with uploading files with installation for Windows Server 2008 . Files get uploaded (they do exist after upload in \\Server\mediawiki\images folders), but there are few problems with retrieving/using them. One of the problems is that when I try to get list of the files by using Special Pages – File list, the following message pops up: Server Error: 500 - Internal server error. There is a problem with the resource you are looking for, and it cannot be displayed.

The same message pops up when I try to do upload .png or .jpeg files (they are enabled in LocalSettings.php permitted file types). However, when I upload a .pdf file, the proper file:nameXYZ.pdf page is created (and links to it work OK from other content pages), but still it can’t be listed by using Special Pages – File list. The same applies to doc, docx, xls, xlsx, ppt, pptx, … (i.e. they are uploaded, page such as file:nameXYZ.doc is created and links to it work OK, but File list doesn't work – I get the above error message).

Everything else which is not related to files works OK. Any suggestion what can be wrong?

I installed: Mediawiki 1.19.2 /PHP5/MySQL5.0

GP

I am using Mediawiki 1.26.4 with PHP 5.4 I SOLVED the problem by switching on XMLREADER in the php version via cpanel after seeing the error in the error log which is stored in the Mediawiki directory on my website.

Hope this helps !

But your Mediawiki too old, I suggest you upgrade to 1.31 (currently stable).
