Yes, that's correct. The login is Demo/test - thanks for having a look at it.
Ahh, I see that was in the original mail. I didn't realize what it was at first.

sumanah from #mediawiki suggested that I post here. I set up SVG support on my wiki, and I got the javascript links to rendered PNG images working to. But, I noticed a few problems:
- SVG images distorted when thumbnails are generated using normal wiki image
link syntax.
I have no idea why the SVG images are being rendered all weird. ImageMagick's /usr/bin/convert seems to be configured correctly in localsettings.php, and I don't see any problems.
What command are you using to make SVG thumbs? What distro, convert package version, and convert version do you have? Are you using imagemagick's convert or rsvg or something else?
I'm not sure exactly what rsvg version the WMF cluster is using but you may want to try something from http://packages.debian.org/librsvg2-bin
You say "seems to be configured correctly"... what exactly are your settings so we can compare?
You can see @ http://noc.wikimedia.org/conf/highlight.php?file=CommonSettings.php that the WMF cluster is using
$path/rsvg-convert -w $width -h $height -o $output < $input
- I also discovered that when I clicked on the link javascript links to
rendered PNG images, 404 errors were returned. This happens for ALL kinds of images when scaling is requested via URL.
In troubleshooting this I got as far as finding some info about thumb.php and htaccess rewrite rules that are supposed to redirect the 404 URLs to thumb.php so the images can be generated. It's all greek to me, and I'm surprised it isn't working by default on my wiki.

Well, the greek basically is a way to tell the web server to rewrite the request before sending a response *if* the file is missing.
Those JS URLs are a local hack at individual wikis and not part of a default mediawiki install (i think! at least last I checked) so I'm not surprised they don't work out of the box.
