[Mediawiki-l] File access restrictions

[Kaman Lee]

Hello,

I've setup Mediawiki so that only logged in users can view and edit wiki content.  Everything seems to be working well in regards to page access, however I can't seem to secure uploaded files.  I've searched the Mediawiki manuals and wiki for more information on file security, but can't seem to find too much information on it.  

Mediawiki is running on my linux box via apache.  I've tried moving the default uploads directory outside the installation dir, into a directory (owned by group "nobody") not served by apache, but that didn't work.  I was hoping that Mediawiki would access the files directly from the file system instead of via a hyperlink to the file on the server.  

Am I doing something wrong or missing something?  I'm relatively new to Mediawiki.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in Advance,

Kaman
