Description:
We see an internal error when uploading a new version of certain files, in particular for files that are documents -- word, pdf, ppt, etc. I have not yet noticed the error when replacing an existing file of image type.

An example of one such error message is:

Could not rename file "public/6/63/Wikidocsearchresults_9.xls" to "public/archive/6/63/20080301151006!Wikidocsearchresults_9.xls".

Though the precise path changes according to the wiki installation that causes the error.

Some comments:

• we do not have "public" in our path
• we have set the following in our LocalSettings.php: $wgUploadPath = "$wgScriptPath/images"; $wgUploadDirectory = "$IP/images";
• we do not have php's safe_mode or open_basedir enabled
• we have no /images/ aliases in apache2 conf files
• in some cases, the paths which display are quite long and bizarre
• most other files and images can be replaced without error
• the files in question can be replaced using ./maintenance/importImage.php --overwrite

Version info is as follows:

• MediaWiki: 1.11.0
• PHP: 5.1.2 (apache2handler)
• MySQL: 5.0.22-Debian_0ubuntu6.06.6-log
