I (stupidly) uploaded a large image to the Wiki. Now I get php fatal errors anytime I try to display it. How can I delete the image from the site if any page that involves the image just gives me a white screen! Gadgetdoctor

Hi, How about going directly to the re-upload page and upload a new version. As in http://yourwiki.com/index.php?title=Special:Upload&wpDestFile=filename.… Alain The Gadget Doctor wrote:

Thanks, In addition, I had to delete the large file from the server (via FTP) because otherwise it tried to show me a a picture "do you really want to replace this". Any use of the large file caused PHP to die. GD On Thu, Jun 26, 2008 at 7:36 AM, Alain van Acker <a.v.a(a)home.nl> wrote:

For the future, you might want to try adjusting the image size parameters in php.ini and in the MediaWiki settings file. That way you will be able operate with larger images and documents (the default limit is 2 MB if I am not mistaken which is not very much). Boris.

Gadget Doctor would actually want to adjust PHP's memory limit because PHP running out of memory was what was causing the white page. On Jun 26, 2008, at 10:46 AM, Boris Epstein wrote:

All true but really, I had no need for a 3000x2000 high res image. It only would have clobbered my bandwidth in the long run. Thanks for the tips, however. GD On Thu, Jun 26, 2008 at 1:51 PM, Darren VanBuren <onekopaka(a)gmail.com> wrote:
