Hi All
First off, if this is the wrong list, please point me in the right direction.
I am a bit of a newby when it comes to wikimedia, so the question may seem trivial.
I am having trouble allowing users to upload MS .ppt files. The error received is:
Upload file
From ECPDpedia
Jump to: navigation http://ecpdwiki.jf.intel.com/ecpdpedia/index.php/Special:Upload#column- one#column-one , search http://ecpdwiki.jf.intel.com/ecpdpedia/index.php/Special:Upload#searchI nput#searchInput
Upload warning
The file is corrupt or has an incorrect extension. Please check the file and upload again.
This seems to apply only to ppt and xls files. MS Word documents work ok.
The relevant line in LocalSettings.php $wgFileExtensions = array('png','gif','jpg','jpeg','ogg','doc','xls','ppt','mp3','sxc','pdf' ); which is a copy from te mediawiki documentation
And obviously $wgEnableUploads = true;
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Gord

A google search produces this as the first result. Try it:

I would like to allow users to request an account and then someone has to approve it before they get access. I thought this would be something in the FAQs or some other help guide, but I did not find it.

You could write a special page extension accessible to logged-out users, which would store their request in a database table, and send a periodic email with a list of requests. You can then either manually create these (sending passwords via email using the built-in support) or perhaps write something fancier to facilitate one-click approval and account creation.
A "poor man's" solution might be to allow anyone to register an account, but limit editing to those in an "editor" group, which is manually assigned to users on approval. This could be combined with all or some of the above again (queue, reminders, automation).

You could also lock down user account creation (which you've probably already done), then change [[MediaWiki:Nologin]] to specify an email address to contact to request an account.
Something like: "Don't have a login? Contact somebody@somewhere.net"

That is an excellent idea. Now, is there already a GUI where admins can create accounts?

when you're logged in as an admin : Special Pages --> Log in/Create account --> Create an account (which appears only if you're admin if you set createaccount to false in localsettings.php)
