Perhaps it's in the session management, i'll try to track this down.
But files don't appear in the /images directory which is a bit confusing.

Betreff: Re: [Mediawiki-l] Upload Problem
I have seen this problem intermittently on several MediaWiki versions
(1.3.9, 1.4.2, 1.4.4) over the past six months. I'm on a hosting service
that gives me no visibility or control of the various Apache settings.
I did spend a half day trying to track this down and found out the PHP
session variables that hold the file parameters were not persistent after
the verification page. The images were indeed being uploaded to the server,
but the session variables were lost. In the midst of my debugging, things
suddenly started to work. I reverted back to the original PHP code and life
was wonderful. Since my immediate task was to upload a large set of images,
I pressed on with that task instead of trying to figure out what was
previously not working.
I'm still perplexed. Unless someone at my hosting service is randomly
flipping Apache parameters, I don't see why the LimitRequestBody directive
is a likely candidate. Something related to session management seems more
suspect.

Hi,
I have troubles uploading files.
Every time I try to upload a file, my browser sends the file and then
i get a "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"
message.
My configuration is:
MediaWiki: 1.5rc4
PHP: 4.4.0 (apache2handler)
MySQL: 4.0.24
Linux media 2.6.12-gentoo-r6
I already tried everything on
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/
Uploading_files
file_uploads On
upload_max_filesize 2M
post_max_size 8M
I looked at that meta page and, although it did have some words about
the LimitRequestBody directive in Apache, the way it was worded might
lead those not using Apache2 on Redhat to ignore it. It's a general
issue for any installation running Apache 1.3 or later. I've reworded
the article in hopes of clarifying it.
