Hello, I am sending this request for help one more time! I have uploaded some png images successfully. Then I try to create links to the images. I can "imbed" the images in the page, but I can not use thumbnails so that the full image will be shown only when user click on the thumbnail. Looks like mediawiki is creating temporary path(/file too?) for the thumbnail. However, these wiki created path (and/or file) has access permission problem. I have manually tried to change the permissions of these temporary pathes, but it did not make any difference. Anybody is willing to help on this trivial (or stupid) problem? Just tell me which php to look into will be helpful too.

Since I don't really know where and how to search the Q&A archive, could someone either teaches me how to search archive or (both is great, I just don't want to ask too much) tell me what I have nto done right. I successfully uploaded some pictures. But when I try to put their thumbnails in a table, I got same error message for each of them: unable to open image in a strange subdir (e.g. '/var/www/wiki/testwiki/images/a/a2/xyz.png' : permission denied. <br /> convert: missing an image file name '/var/www/wiki/testwiki/images/a/a2/xyz.png/180px.xyz.png'). Hope I have made my case clear. Thank you for any help.

Christensen, Courtney wrotet : yes you must add ft_min_word_len parameter in your mysql config file and then rebuild the search index see http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual_talk:Configuration_settings#using_sear… (NB : I think ft_min_word_len=3 is enough for 3 letters search, use ft_min_word_len=2 only if you also have two-letters words)
