[Mediawiki-l] file upload questions and problems

[revansx at cox.net]

It does not appear to be a permissions issue. After all, I am clearly able 
to upload small files (unless Linux has a permissions setting for file write 
size that I do not know about) -- and -- I am able to upload very large 
files (so long as I tell it to ignore the warning)

My platform is:
Server Version: Apache/2.0.52 (Red Hat)
Server Built: Aug 2 2006 05:21:10

its ok that all the file go in the same place....I just had to ask.
but please continue to consider what might be causing my PDF file upload 
problem.

ongoing thanks,
- rich (revansx)
