It works by adding this config setting $wgStrictFileExtensions = false; to the LocalSetting.php file.
Why is Mediawiki adding a couple of weird directories underneath the Image directory when you upload? For example, *I have url like this * http://www.xx.org/images/1/14/Michael_Xyz.mp3 when I finished uploading the file. Is there away to prevent this from happening and placed all file under one specified directory instead?
Also, can you please let us know when you have this mass-uploading file done?
Thank you

You can't do it via FTP, since the database needs to be updated to contain certain pieces of information about the file. However, there is a Perl script which allows for mass-uploading of files, and since it's oft-requested, I might write a mass-upload maintenance script of some description.

I don't know if the file exist on the server or not since I can not log
on
the server at this point. Also, Is there a way for me to FTP these? I
have
alot of mp3 files and I can not afford to upload 1 by 1.
I will try to change the setting when I get home.
Thank you very much for your help.

- A straight FTP won't work, so don't bother.
- On the same warning screen, you should have had a button appear
which would allow you to continue with the upload.
a. If you did, did you click it? ;-) b. If not, you need to set $wgStrictFileExtensions = false; in LocalSettings.php
It sounds like the upload wasn't completed after all. Does the file exist somewhere inside the uploads directory?

Have you tried keeping everything the same but replacing the
"Media:"
with "Image:"? This should link to the file's description page,
and
will tell you whether you have in fact typed the filename right.
There
should also be a "recent uploads" list somewhere - Special:Log,
maybe?
- that will have the file's name as te software thinks it is.
Otherwise, something very odd is happening. I wondered briefly if
it
was possible to end up with a file uploaded with no description
page
(so that link code might think "page doesn't exist, therefore file
doesn't"), but I wasn't able to create such a situation.
