Description:
Hi,

I read that setting
$wgThumbnailScriptPath = "{$wgScriptPath}/thumb.php";
will generate thumbnails on each request rather than putting them in the (non-writable) thumb directory (because of safe mode). But this doesn't work. If I access a thumb there's only an error message concerning Safe Mode

SAFE MODE Restriction in effect. The script whose uid is 100 is not allowed to access /path/to/wiki/images/thumb/MyPic.jpg owned by uid 10 in /path/to/wiki/includes/media/Bitmap.php on line 214

File not found
Although this PHP script (/wiki/thumb.php) exists, the file requested for output (/path/to/wiki/images/thumb/MyPic.jpg/120px-MyPic.jpg) does not.

Well, why should the script access the thumb directory at all? As I understand, setting $wgThumbnailScriptPath should prevent thumb generation in the filesystem.
