Getting Image Upload Working
by Charlie Markwick 08 Jan '09

08 Jan '09

When logged in as WikiSysop (the only user on the system so far) and I try and upload an image in my Wiki (version 1.12.0) I get the following message:- "File uploads are disabled on Systems." I have followed the instructions at:- http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Configuring_file_uploads I have confirmed the following settings:- file_uploads = On Check Apache aliases - I have not been able to check, would this cause the above message? www.mydomain.com/wiki/images is set to 755 $wgEnableUploads = true; As far as I can see there are no permissions set in LocalSettings.php in fact no variables at all with the text "permissions" in them. $wgFileExtensions = array( 'png', 'gif', 'jpg', 'jpeg' ); upload_max_filesize is 8Mb Can anyone help me sort this. Many Thanks Charlie

Important MediaWiki-related announcements (such as new versions) are also posted to this list. Other resources. If you only wish to receive announcements, you should subscribe to mediawiki-announce[1] instead.

Several other MediaWiki-related lists exist: - mediawiki-api[5] for API discussions, - mediawiki-enterprise[6] for discussion of MediaWiki in the enterprise, - mediawiki-cvs[7] for notification of commits to the Subversion repository, - mediawiki-i18n[8] for discussion of MediaWiki internationalisation support, - wikibugs-l[9] for notification of changes to the bug tracker. List administrivia (unsubscribing, list archives). To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit [12]. Archives of previous postings can be found at [3]. This list is also gatewayed to the Gmane NNTP server[4], which you can use to read and post to the list. Posting to the list. Before posting to this list, please read the MediaWiki FAQ[10].

Please try to ask your question in a way that enables people to answer you. Provide all relevant details, explain your problem clearly, etc. You may wish to read [13], which explains how to ask questions well. To post to the list, send mail to <mediawiki-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org>. This is a public list, so you should not include confidential information in mails you send. When replying to an existing thread, use the "Reply" or "Followup" feature of your mail client, so that clients that understand threading can sort your message properly. When quoting other messages, please use the "inline" quoting style[11], for clarity. When creating a new thread, do not reply to an existing message and change the subject. This will confuse peoples' mail readers, and will result in fewer people reading your mail. Instead, compose a new message for your post. Messages posted to the list have the "Reply-To" header set to the mailing list, which means that by default, replies will go to the entire list. If you are posting a reply which is only interesting to the original poster, and not the list in general, you should change the reply to only go to that person. This avoids cluttering the list with irrelevant traffic. About this message. This message is posted to the list once per week by <river(a)wikimedia.org>.
