Description:
Installed mediawiki 1.14 onto XP windows computer running IIS version 6, php version 5.1.2 (isapi), and mysql 5.0.51a-community-nt.
Every upload failed with a message "Unable to create public/x/xy".
The problem appears to be the php recursive mkdir function on windows, which only works with windows type path delimiters (backslash).
I was able to fix this by inserting an extra line of code in the includes/GlobalFunctions.php as below
function wfMkdirParents( $dir, $mode = null ) {
global $wgDirectoryMode;
if( strval( $dir ) === '' || file_exists( $dir ) )
return true;
if ( is_null( $mode ) )
$mode = $wgDirectoryMode;
Fix for windows
$dir = str_replace("/",DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR,$dir);
return mkdir( $dir, $mode, true ); // PHP5 <3
}
