When I upload images it will not provide a thumbnail image. I read through various posts and understand many shared servers have blocked proc_open and seems mine is that too. I turned imagemagik to false and default to GD which is active on my server but imagemagik is not but still thumbnail is not showing and gives the error

I have also noticed proc_open also affecting scribunto and the lua file as shown here

Despite searching I cannot seem to find an alternative to fix the image thumbnail issue and the lua issue

I am sure there is a workaround about that will fix this as I cannot be the only one who has this blocked on their server.

i can ftp the main directory but have no access to the root otherwise i would have changed php.ini myself. I also added a flag command to .htaccess to see if i could activate proc_open that way but that did not work.

I have also noticed that version MediaWiki 1.23.15 the thumbnails work fine with imagemagik false yet when same setting is on 1.27 it fails.

anyone?

It often is hard to make MediaWiki run on crippled servers. However, if it worked in 1.23, I guess it should also do so with 1.27.

What are the settings you are using in order to activate GD?

dont need to do anything to make GD work as its the default, only have to flag imagemagik as false in localsettings
