Hi everyone, I get some internal error message when trying to upload files. I`ve seen that the answer to the problem I have was already posted. So I just wanted to ask how I can and should "change permissions on the image folder"? I don`t know anything about PHP and therefore I would really really apreciate your help. Greetings

you have to donwload the LocalSettings.php form the main folder then search for ## To enable image uploads, make sure the 'images' directory ## is writable, then uncomment this: # $wgDisableUploads =false; $wgUseImageResize = true; If you don`t know how to edit it - use an text editor or search in the net! After you have uncomment it, your image folder should be writeable! You can change this with your ftp program > properties or CHMOD to 777. Then upload it to your webserver! I think thats it? Or maybe it isn`t! I never tried to upload some images! best regards, Adam On 4/13/05, sebastian n/a <vogel_sebastian(a)hotmail.com> wrote:

Have you carefully re-checked permissions, especially if you're using symbolic links? I had a similar problem recently. The MediaWiki installer gives itself a hard linked path, and I was using a symbolic-linked path in Apache. Bottom line, Apache could get there with write permission, but MediaWiki could not. The perpetrator was several levels up, and wasn't obvious. :::: He who possesses art and science has religion; he who does not possess them, needs religion. -- Göthe :::: Jan Steinman <http://www.Bytesmiths.com/Van>

Would it be possible to post the exact message here, in case it means more to someone else than it does to you?

As Adam says, this refers to making the directory writable by the "user" which runs the PHP programs. The exact way of doing this will depend what FTP program you're using to access your webserver, but basically you want to allow "everyone" the ability to write to the "images" directory (this doesn't mean everyone who connects to your website, by the way, just every program running on the webserver). -- Rowan Collins BSc [IMSoP]
