Hey Teammates,
I am getting the following upload error in MediaWiki 1.19.2. Error creating thumbnail: convert.exe: unable to open image `C:\WINDOWS\TEMP/transform_32f7ebc-1.jpg': Permission denied @ error/blob.c/OpenBlob/2614.
Is that because the IUSR does not have permissions to c:\Windows\Temp ? I'm really not able to give it permissions there for security reasons, is there a workaround ?
Where is error/bloc.c/OpenBlob coming from ?
thx, Lori

There is a workaround. Try the files linked here (http://hexm.de/lu -- which points to http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Thread:Talk:MediaWiki_1.19/Thumbnails_didn%27t...) and is part of a larger thread.
Using that patch, MediaWiki should use $wgTmpDirectory instead of C:\Windows\Temp.
Let me know if you have trouble.
