I'm trying to upload some files to my wiki, and I get errors similar to:

Could not delete lock file for "mwstore://local-backend/local-public/0/...."

I'll get 2 or three of these with different directories listed. However, the file does indeed upload, and it seems to work fine.

BUT

I can't delete the files via the File List. In that case I get 4 entries that are similar to the upload messages:

Could not move file "mwstore://...." to "mwstore://..... sdfslkjsdf.jpg"

Could not delete lock file......local-public...

Could not delete lock file ..... local-deleted/p/f/j

Could not delete lock file for "mwstore:....sdfslkjsdf.jpg"

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. This is the latest version of MediaWiki, PHP 5.4, and I believe it's running on Windows.

It appears that adding "modify" to my app pool permissions (along with Write, which I had done previously) is what was necessary.

But, is that dangerous to leave turned on? I'm under the impression that could be a security problem.

Thanks!
