[Mediawiki-l] Installation - Warning: $wgProxyKey is insecure

[dbw at ozreef.org]

>Is PHP's open_base_dir option on, maybe?

>From phpinfo.php .....

open_basedir	/usr/bin:/home/httpd/vhosts/domain.com/httpdocs

upload_tmp_dir	/home/httpd/vhosts/domain.com/httpdocs/tmp

The tmp file exists and should be writable.  What chmod should it be?

OK, I changed the image directory to 777 and the installation worked fine ....

Should the image directory chmod be changed now?  Or does it have to stay
writable?  Is it OK to run the wiki using that instead of the /tmp directory? 
Security wise etc.

Thank you very much for your assistance.

Would I be allowed to put this up onto the installation wiki for this
(MediaWiki)?  Or the troubleshooting etc when it is full resolved?
