Does anyone have any ideas on this one...?

I cannot seem to work out what is happening on this install.

Morning all,

I've installed a fresh copy of Mediawiki on an Ubunto 7.10 server. This is on a private network.

Here is the Version output:-

 * MediaWiki: 1.11.0
 * PHP: 5.2.3-1ubuntu6.3 (apache2handler)
 * MySQL: 5.0.45-Debian_1ubuntu3.1-log

I'm having trouble with the Upload Files option.

I'm trying to upload a .png image file. Initially when selected I was getting a message along the lines of an invalid filetype despite png being an allowed extension. I disabled mimetype checking to get round this.

Now I receive the following message whenever I try to upload anything:-

Upload warning This file contains HTML or script code that may be erroneously be interpreted by a web browser.

Any ideas how I can correct this?

The images directory on my server is publically writeable.

Rob

Curious, png 1.11.0 normally supports .png out of the box.

What is $wgFileExtensions in ./includes/DefaultSettings.php set to?

Rather than disabling mimetype checking, you'd normally add the filetypes you want to allow to LocalSettings.php $wgFileExtensions = array( 'png', 'gif', 'jpg', 'jpeg', 'doc', 'ppt', 'xls', 'pdf', 'msg', 'svg' );

Kind regards,

Herta
