File Upload: The file you uploaded seems to be empty - MediaWiki-l

3 Jun 2013


      Dear list,
sorry for what may turn out a beginner's blunder. With the configuration 
outlined below, I still get an error message when trying to upload a file 
(no matter what size or type): "The file you uploaded seems to be empty". 
I found a lot of stuff on this, but somehow...
Any help would be greatly appreciated
