Open perms (777) etc. are a security risk. 700 would be better. But what is : mwstore://local-backend/local-public/5/55 Looking at the "mwstore://" syntax, is this folder on a Windows share? Or samba? Is the wiki running on Windows or Linux? If it worked on the previous server - maybe the share is setup differently on the new server? Or the new server has different privileges to the share etc. Cheers, -- Alastair Sherringham http://www.sherringham.net _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l
