I have been trying to enable the file:// Protocol in

had it working fine in version 1.4.*)
As suggested on this page:

Did you read the caveats on that page about why the links may not actually work?
I have updated my $wgUrlProtocols variable in
LocalSettings.php to read
as follows:
$wgUrlProtocols =
'http:\/\/|https:\/\/|file:\/\/|ftp:\/\/|news:|mailto:';
This doesn't seem to have the desired effect :)
Any Ideas? Has anyone else run into this problem?
Can you clarify what exactly doesn't work:
* Does the text not become a link, or do the links just not work
(which is a browser issue, see the FAQ)?
* What is the exact text you are using? Have you tried with a really
simple string like "file://example"?
* Have you made sure there are no caching issues (using a preview to
test is always the surest way)?
