After installing phpsuexec, newly uploaded files are no longer accessible.
The first problem was that MediaWiki wouldn't upload files because it complained the
files were corrupt or had bad extensions. That seemed to be a MIME detection issue and my
sys admin set $wgMimeDetectorCommand to "file -bi" and that solved that
problem.
Now the files are being uploaded, but newly-uploaded image files are not visible in the
wiki. On an Image: page, the image is not displayed and clicking the image link leads to
an Apache error. The newly uploaded files have permissions=644 whereas before they had
755.
So---are the permissions wrong? I don't know why MediaWiki would need
"execute" permissions for images, but when images are 755 it works, and when set
to 640, it doesn't.
ALSO... I have noticed that MediaWiki shows a link on the image page for images uploaded
in the past, and the MIME type is displayed as "text/plain".
Both issues lead me to believe there is a filetype/mime issue somewhere and it'[s
probably related to something I didn't do right when configuring the system.
I am using MediaWiki 1.11.0, Apache/1.3.39, Linux 2.6.19.2-grsec.
TIA.
