Jon,
Did you check your $wgFileExtensions variable? Of course it may not be that, but gotta
check the basics. Make sure your wiki knows about those other file types.

Thanks Courtney,
Yeah - I thought of permissions on the Image folder - but even if I set to
'everyone' read/write - its still happens.
Whats perplexed me is that the JPG and image files are file - but others (I have the
Freemind extension; and JMOL viewer extension) complain that they cannot get to their
(non-image) files. Ive set the permissions to the IIS process threads accounts
appropriately too (read/write).
What I don't understand is why the file type may be causing the issue....
Ie If I point my browser to
http://mywiki.co.uk/wiki/image/a/filename.jpg from a remote
browser, it loads the file fine. If I point my browser to the exact same path, but a non
jpg or image file, it complains it doesn't exist (Id expect it to at least show the
bytestream of the file).
..and yeah I'm stuck with WIMP ... but have to say getting MW setup on my other WIMP/
XP was far less painful than this (Win2003).
Jon.

Hi Jon,
What permissions did you set in IIS? You may need more open permissions pointing at your
images (like read, browse, and write). If you can at all move away from the WIMP stack it
is helpful, but I understand client requirements can be a pain.
Good luck,
-Courtney

Subject: [Mediawiki-l] Unable to access certain files via extensions
All,
In my continuing battle to get MW 1.15 to run under IIS 6 and Win 2003 (after migrating
from a Win Xp IIS 5) Im at the point where I've abandoned PHP 5.3.x I simply cannot
get the extensions (mainly scientific) to work reliably - support for many of them simply
hasn't updated the code for these extensions.
However, I'm now up and running with PHP 5.2.13 - and most of the Extensions
aren't giving 'deprecated function' errors anymore. Everything is fine...
except...
For some reason, two extensions are unable to find files in the Image directory - even
though the files exist.
I've also found that if I simply point the web browser at those files, the server
again states they don't exist - your they do from the File explorer on the machine.
This is even stranger, as normal image files (.png, gif, jpg etc) display just fine within
the wiki and directly to the file in the image directory.
Has anyone got any insight/ideas as to why some files are 'seen' by the webserver
and others not ?
Jon.
