Uploads should
be outside the web root. To keep it organized and to save
space on the servers drive.
I don't see how space-saving comes into it (though it could help for
putting all the space on a different drive).
$wgUploadPath is a URL path, rather than a filesystem path. A symlink
is a simple way to handle the mapping between the URL path and the
filesystem path. An Apache alias would probably also work fine. I
don't think it can be done in LocalSettings.php
The base system, where the web
server lives, has limited space, while /home is on another drive.
I guess I have to try the symlink or the apache alias.
Thanks for the answer. :-)
