Whenever I want upload new image I get this error.
Exception encountered, of type "LocalFileLockError"
Ubuntu Server (Apache2)
Topic on Project:Support desk
In which wiki is this happening?
Which version of MediaWiki is this wiki using?
(Possibly T135485, T132921...)
Newest one
What is the "newest version"? Is that 1.27, which is the newest LTS version? Or 1.28wmf..., which is the newest point release? Or even something completely different, because you installed this from some strange repository, which only has outdated stuff anyways?
1 2 7
Had the same issue but it was only a permission problem. MediaWiki was not able to write to the images subdirectory. Could be the same issue on your system.
try to put www-data as owner recursively
chown -R www-data images
it's working :)
Same problem here. We don't have a www-data user or group
How do I fix this? When I try to upload an image on 1.27 I get the same "Exception encountered, of type "LocalFileLockError":
Already had issues with caching which I was able to resolve.
I am having the same issue on 1.27 for the error below and was unable to resolve it.

I has a similar problem.
In my case SELinux was the problem.
To verify - you can temporarily disable SELinux (sudo setenforce 0) and try again.
If the upload works - then you can follow the instructions at the MediaWiki SELinux page:
What worked for me was to change the PHP file upload location from /tmp to the mediawiki/image/temp directory and then sudo chcon -R -t httpd_user_rw_content_t images
When you are done - dont forget to re-enable SELInux!
Hope this helps
