Developers / Wiki- can't upload images today
« on: October 23, 2008, 05:17:18 pm »
hari,
I'm wondering if this issue is related to the wiki move.
I've been trying to upload an updated image of my system diagram to the wiki. That's this file here:
http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/Image:System_diagram.png
It is a .png that is 30 KB. I get this 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 can view the file just fine in windows, so I suspect that the error is not in fact that the file is "empty". I also tried uploading a random 30 KB .jpg that I downloaded from the internet just as a test, and I received the same error.
The wikimedia Uploading_Files topic has a Q&A on this error here:
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Uploading_files
Here is what it says:
I tried checking the "ignore any warnings" box as suggested with the same result.
It appears that there haven't been any file uploads since September 22nd. See this page:
http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/Special:Imagelist
Any suggestions would be appreciated. Maybe someone else could confirm whether they can upload images to the wiki right now.
Regards,
Alex

Q: Why do I get the message: "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."
* One reason for this is that something below mediawiki such as PHP or the web server is limiting the size of http requests. See the next question.
* Try checking the ignore any warnings at the upload file page.
* Check also if the php config upload_tmp_dir is set.
* Check that the /tmp dir is not full (happened to me!)
