I guess it has to do with the read permission for everybody,

the user under which apache runs?

Thanks for replying.

Apache is running as "nobody". After upload, the read permission is set to "644" (in one place in original message I said "640", but that was a typo). The owner and group are set to the user where MediaWiki is installed.

I would think that 644 was fine; Apache can read the file.

ALSO... I have noticed that MediaWiki shows a link on

MIME type is displayed as "text/plain".

The mime type is stored in the database. As those images

were detected as text/plain in the past, they're still listed

as such. They would be correctly detected if you reuploaded

them today.

Hmm. Another responder said to run a maint script to fix the mime types. I'll probably do that, but I don't understand why files uploaded before didn't have the mime type set; they displayed fine, and basically, everything was working as expected before installing phpsuexec.

Another symptom: When I go to the "recent changes" page and limit the namespace to "Image", I get no results even though various images have been uploaded.

I'll run the main script and then I'll be back...

Thanks.
