Hi Laurent Oh, that is exactly what I was looking for: Multiple instances of wikis with just one "base" installation. Thank you very much - I was not aware that this is called a "Wiki family". This solves my problem... Kind regards, Moove On Mon, May 17, 2010 at 11:03 AM, Laurent Savaete wrote:

Hi Jon, What permissions did you set in IIS? You may need more open permissions pointing at your images (like read, browse, and write). If you can at all move away from the WIMP stack it is helpful, but I understand client requirements can be a pain.

Jon, Did you check your $wgFileExtensions variable? Of course it may not be that, but gotta check the basics. Make sure your wiki knows about those other file types. -Courtney -----Original Message----- From: mediawiki-l-bounces(a)lists.wikimedia.org [mailto:mediawiki-l-bounces@lists.wikimedia.org] On Behalf Of Jon Bartlett Sent: Tuesday, June 15, 2010 4:32 AM To: MediaWiki announcements and site admin list Subject: Re: [Mediawiki-l] Unable to access certain files via extensions Thanks Courtney, Yeah - I thought of permissions on the Image folder - but even if I set to 'everyone' read/write - its still happens. Whats perplexed me is that the JPG and image files are file - but others (I have the Freemind extension; and JMOL viewer extension) complain that they cannot get to their (non-image) files. Ive set the permissions to the IIS process threads accounts appropriately too (read/write). What I don't understand is why the file type may be causing the issue.... Ie If I point my browser to http://mywiki.co.uk/wiki/image/a/filename.jpg from a remote browser, it loads the file fine. If I point my browser to the exact same path, but a non jpg or image file, it complains it doesn't exist (Id expect it to at least show the bytestream of the file). ..and yeah I'm stuck with WIMP ... but have to say getting MW setup on my other WIMP/ XP was far less painful than this (Win2003).
