If you keep on receiving a blank page, this usually means that a PHP<br><div class="gmail_quote"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">

error occurred. Check your apache error log.<br>

I found this in the apache log:<br><br>[Thu Feb 10 22:58:47 2011] [error] [client ::1] PHP Warning:  Missing argument 3 for UploadFromUrl::initialize(), called in /var/www/mediawiki2/includes/api/ApiUpload.php on line 93 and defined in /var/www/mediawiki2/includes/upload/UploadFromUrl.php on line 35<br>

<i>public function initialize( $name, $url, $na, $nb = false )</i> but never use the two last parameter inside the code:<br>        global $wgTmpDirectory;<br>        $localFile = tempnam( $wgTmpDirectory, &#39;WEBUPLOAD&#39; );<br>
        $this-&gt;initializePathInfo( $name, $localFile, 0, true );<br>        $this-&gt;mUrl = trim( $url );<br><br>Hopefully, it&#39;s very easy to fix :-)<br><br>The second message is about curl, as I suspected, it&#39;s not working. Could I add to a precompiled installation of php?<br>
