Hello,
I tried posting a few days ago... but mixed-up the email addresses.
Hopefully, this one finds the right place.
I am still having a problem where the images (from the InstantCommons)
disappear.
A few days ago I thought it might be related to memory. So, I upgraded the
RAM from 1 GB to 2 GB.
Interesting is that if I reboot the server the problem seems to resolve --
at least temporary. I did that this morning. Disappointing is that the
problem is back.
The site I am running doesn't have that much on it. It is a Debian
(stable) server. The only thing other than MediaWiki (and the debian
packages to run MediaWiki) is the cite-gen
code (
http://librepathology.org/cite-gen/ ) for references. I cannot
imagine it is the cite-gen code.
The emailed I sent before is below, as is a few snapshots from 'top' that
show the memory situation this morning.
Any help would be appreciated!
Michael

Hello,
I am looking for help with a problem that has arisen recently.
I posted this here:
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Project:Support_desk#InstantCommons_..._imag…
I suppose this mailing list is a better place for it.
Issue:
---
The WikiCommons images on a site I am running disappeared.
---
Set-up:
---
I am using the InstantCommons feature - configuration:
$wgUseInstantCommons = true;
I have not configured "$wgForeignFileRepos", as described here:
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgUseInstantCommons
(AFAIK, a default is set by "$wgUseInstantCommons".)
I see that someone else has had this issue -- based on a message here (
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Talk:InstantCommons#Why_all_the_.jpg_files_f…
); however,
no
resolution
is described.
I do note that there is a limit on downloads (1GB?), as described
here. I don't think that I am near that.
I didn't change settings on the wiki recently. I did add the extension
WikiSEO a few days
ago. I cannot image this is the problem.
The wiki is here:
http://librepathology.org
The version information: MediaWiki 1.23.2, PHP 5.4.4-14+deb7u14, MySQL
5.5.38-0+wheezy1

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
