Hi,
When I installed Mediawiki, it warned me my ISP's php is in save mode. So, I changed the /images directory to 777 as suggested and the installation proceeded ok. But now when I tried to upload an image, it failed with the error:
Could not copy file "/tmp/phpsBKyBW" to
"/home/wikiphoto_trial/htdocs/wiki/images/temp/0/0e/20041203005505!Printer_Test_file.jpg".
with the details shown at the top:
Warning: move_upload_file(): SAVE MODE Restriction in effect. The script whose uid is 1090 is not allowed to access /home/wikiphoto_trial/htdocs/wiki/images/temp owned by uid 1001 in /home/wikiphoto_trial/htdocs/wiki/includes/SpecialUpload.php on line 334
I check the owner of my images/temp directory and it is not owned by me. The owner is "Webadmin". it seems it was created by the Apache process and php doesn't like it. What should I do now?
p.s. I'm sorry if this question has been asked and answered by others before. I don't know how to search the mailing list archive.
Thanks -- John

Safe mode has some bogus, ugly, stupid restrictions that break the upload system. You can however manually create the directories, and if they're owned by the right user it might work.
images/0 images/0/00 images/0/01 ... images/0/0f images/1/10 images/1/11 ... images/f/ff
images/archive/0/00 .. images/archive/f/ff
images/temp/0/00 ... images/temp/f/ff
Fun, isn't it! :P

Go to google.com, and just put "site:mail.wikipedia.org" in with the search query.

Thanks, Brion.
Hmm, the ellipses in your list... you mean I need to create all directories 0/00 to f/ff? Including the subdirs under temp and archive, that's 9000+ directories to create! Is that right?
What about images/thumb directory? Do I need to create 0/00-f/ff subdirectories under it as well? -- John

256*3 + 16*3 + 2 = 818
The first digit of the two-digit subdirs is always the parent dir's digit.
What about images/thumb directory? Do I need to create 0/00-f/ff subdirectories under it as well?
Oh yeah, make that: 256*4 + 16*4 + 3 = 1091

D'oh! In that case: $ cd /path/to/your/wiki/images $ mkdir archive temp thumb $ perl -e '@hex=("0".."9", "a".."f"); for $pre ("", "archive/", "temp/", "thumb/") { for $w (@hex) { mkdir("$pre$w"); for $x (@hex) { mkdir("$pre$w/$w$x") } } }'
I know it's probably useless to you anyway, but I'm a bit of a perfectionist. :/
Many thanks, Rowan!

Oh, I see. Thanks Brion.
Now, where's my shell script manual... :-) -- John

Uploads are filed based on md5sums; so, yeah, the maximum layout's gonna be pretty humongous. Easily done though, if you can get at a shell and Perl:
$ cd /path/to/your/wiki/images $ mkdir archive temp $ perl -e '@hex=("0".."9", "a".."f"); for $pre ("", "archive/", "temp/") { for $w (@hex) { mkdir("$pre$w"); for $x (@hex) {for $y (@hex) { mkdir("$pre$w/$x$y") } } } }'
And then adjust the ownership of everything recursively if need be. If you *don't* have shell access, it's not so easy; either you could get Perl to issue FTP commands from your home PC (I bet there are plenty of modules on CPAN that make *that* easy); or, you could just edit MediaWiki so that it stores uploads in one flat directory.
What about images/thumb directory? Do I need to create 0/00-f/ff subdirectories under it as well?
Oh, well, if you do, add thumb to the mkdir line, and "thumb" to the same list as "archive/" and "temp/"
;)
it makes completely sense to store files in 9999 subdirs thinking of the myriade files that Wikipedia one day will have to host,
on the other hand for small wiki-sites, that maybe will have to deal with maybe 50 Pictures and 10 Files this might provide extra burden.
What speaks against letting that behaviour be switched on (default) and OFF in Localsettings.php, if OFF the files are simply stored and searched in the upload-dir without further subdirs?
Maybe I am wrong when I guess that for Bryan or some of the real good Wiki-Hackers that is a 5-10 min. task to add that adequat variable-questioning in the 2 positions (upload/retrieval) in the code.

Sounds like you want $wgHashedUploadDirectory = false;
(This option is new in 1.4.)
