I've been working on getting phpwiki up and going for a bit now and I can't seem to get around this one issue. When I try to upload a picture I always get:
ERROR uploading 'coolpicture.jpg':
Only files with the extension 7z , avi , bmp , bz2 , c , cfg , diff , doc , gif , h , ini , jpeg , jpg , kmz , mp3 , patch , pdf , png , ppt , rar , tar , tar.gz , txt , xls , zip are allowed.
I played around with the allowed file types for a bit, by adding like '.jpg' and it didn't help, tried different file formats, like bmp and mp3 and I get the same issue. I also set the config.ini DISABLE_UPLOAD_ONLY_ALLOWED_EXTENSIONS and it let me upload the files but then I couldn't actually get the pictures I uploaded to display, offsite ones would load just fine but the uploaded ones would give a link with a ?.
So anyone have some ideas? It's possible I was close when i disabled upload only allowed extensions and just messed up inserting the picture.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Did you manage to get this resolved. I am experiencing the same problem when running the latest version of phpWiki.
After setting DISABLE_UPLOAD_ONLY_ALLOWED_EXTENSIONS to true, I am able to upload, but cannot read the files.
The URL generated is http://<hostname>//uploads/VivekMittal/Book.pdf, but I can't access this from a browser. The actual file has been uploaded to a folder called uploadsVivekMittal, not in a subfolder of uploads as the URL suggests. Finally, the file permissions are set to 600 and not 644.
Can someone help with these issues.

I had a problem with uploads not going into the user directory. Instead, an upload would go into a directory like uploadsHarold instead of uploads/Harold . Based on a solution posted in the forums, I did the following. It works now.
In lib/plugin/UpLoad.php I modified the line as shown below:
Thank you for your help. I have made the changes as suggested and moved forward a bit. I also found that the files were being created with permission 600 instead of 644. So, I also added the line to chmod just before the line that calls the interwiki as below.
chmod($file_dir . $userfile_name, 0644);
$interwiki = new PageType_interwikimap();
Uploads now work in a usable manner. Still don't know why the "enable allowed extensions only" does not work, but it doesn't matter.
Thanks.

I changed the owner of the upload directory (and everything else, I think) to apache so apache could read and write it. Also, the "allowed extensions" is working for me. I think I'm the one that caused that to be added to the code when someone planted a script on my system with the extension php3. It was not one of the disallowed extensions, so it was allowed to run. i really encourage you to do what you can to use allowed extensions instead of disallowed extensions.
Good luck!
