[Mediawiki-l] Upload error always

Fri Jan 28 13:44:42 UTC 2005

hello,
I've started with installing a media wiki server on a linux computer.
I did it twice one at home (arch linux 0.7) and one at my job (mandrake 
10.0). I used for both the same installation: XAMPP Linux 1.4.11 (Apache 
2.0.52, MySQL 4.1.8, PHP 5.0.3 ...) and MediaWiki 1.3.9.

On the "mandrake" one I can't upload, neither locally nor from a remote 
Windows computer. But on the "arch" one it works, at least locally.
I have the setting in php.ini: "file_uploads = On" and 
"upload_max_filesize = 2M". The images directory is given free.

I get always this error:

 > Upload error
 > # The file you uploaded seems to be empty. This might be due to a 
typo > in the file name. Please check whether you really want to upload 
this > file.

I get this error independent how big the file is, 100k or low. Even I 
figured out that I get the same error if the access to folder images 
isn't allowed or if it is at all not here.

I dont know where to search anymore, please help. Are there more 
settings and dependcies I missed?

Thanks a lot
Dietmar
