I am trying to add this extension to an existing MediaWiki 1.25.2 installation. I have tried both 1_24 and 1_25 versions and see the same problem in both:
- First I installed the 1_25 version (not the beta version), and on testing hit the same problem reported below (Could not create directory "mwstore://accountcreds-backend/accountcreds-public/w/wi/wiki"). After reading the information below, I decided to try the 1_24 install.
- However, before getting to that installation I went back to the main page and happened to look at a page with images, and all images (everywhere on the site except the logo on the main page) were replaced with the text "Error creating thumbnail: File missing".
- Having restored the database from the previous night's backup (all images present again), I then tried installing the 1_24 version.
- I have not yet tested the account confirmation capability to know if it resolves the directory creation issue, but all the images are now non-functional in the site: again, replaced with "Error creating thumbnail: File missing".
- I have checked (27 times) that the permissions on the images upload directory make this directory accessible (755), and that $wgEnableUploads = true; in LocalSettings.php.
- The images are lost on running the update.php script. To check this, I ran update.php prior to installing the extensions - all images present - then installed the extension and then reran update.php and immediately checked the images - gone.
I have no workaround for this. Anyone have any idea what is going on?
