Hi all,
My host enabled safe_mode so I'm kind of struggling in my way to install mediawiki.
A bad move.
* MediaWiki version: 1.14
* PHP version: 5.2.8 (GD enabled)
* MySQL version: 4.1.22
Currently I have two issues with my mediawiki installation:
- I had to set 777 on images folder; otherwise upload won't work (I heard this action
isn't safe at all); how I can make it to work with 755 only?
It really depends
on your configuration. You should ask your host about it.
- currently no thumbs are generated (somehow it worked
on another installation that I had to remove it)
I noticed that if I upload 2 images (image1.jpg and image2.jpg) they will be
copied/created under /images folder and under thumb folder
I can see two folders (not files) /images/thumb/image1.jpg and /images/thumb/image2.jpg
with no files inside. I don't think it supposed to do that (one folder/file)
It is. But those folders are not supposed to be empty but to contain the
thumbs. What permissions are they created with? You may need to change
the mw folder creation permission to 777 too.
I don't have putty access to server (only ftp - To
control domain I use Parallels Plesk Control Panel 8.6:
http://www.parallels.com/products/plesk/)
I couldn't change php.ini settings but I modified LocalSettings.php as suggested
here(
http://www.mwusers.com/wiki/index.php?title=PHP_Configuration#Enable_php_er… )
but I didn't get any error when the upload was made. Only thumbnails aren't
generated.
Here are the entries from my LocalSettings file that are upload related:
$wgEnableUploads = true;
$wgHashedUploadDirectory = false;
$wgSaveDeletedFiles = true;
$wgFileStore['deleted']['directory'] = false;// Defaults to
$wgUploadDirectory/deleted
$wgFileStore['deleted']['url'] = null; // Private, so set to null
$wgFileStore['deleted']['hash'] = 0; // 0-level subdirectory
split
$wgThumbnailScriptPath = "{$wgScriptPath}/thumb.php";
Thank you,
Bogdan
