I guess it has to do with the read permission for
everybody,
and not with the execute permission. Can the files be
read by
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.

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.
