PHP is not the same as permissions. The images directory needs to be writeable by your web server process account. Most commercial service providers offer some sort of control panel, which provides a wrapper to CHMOD - look for "permissions" or somesuch. Alternatively, your FTP client may contain a nice CHMOD GUI or you may just be able to issue raw SITE commands - in which case, CHMOD is still accessible to you.

Hello.

I have a question, not really a problem.

I've seen in the doc (don't remember where) that to have the upload of images allowed, the image folder should be writtable by all (chmod 777).

When looking at my config, I see that at an unknown moment (I think I was tired and forgot to document the change) I made this foder "wwwrun:www" and chmod 755

rwxr-xr-x 14 wwwrun www 392 2005-10-13 20:07 images

I beg wwwrun is the apache user on my suse linux 9.0. this works ok.

thus a reader gives me as a clue to use suphp with an unix user and a chmod 700

what do you think of this? what is the best method?

second, I plan to upload my wiki on my ISP server, but there I will not have any chmod available, however php is commonly used and is said to have the necessary permissions. Do you think there may be a problem?

thanks jdd

Hi MediaWiki team, I made a little hack to MediaWiki 1.4.11 which shows valid search hints when you type in the search box.
