Hi everyone, sorry for the weird title of my post, let me quickly describe the problem and (what I assume is) its genesis.
About two weeks ago I used importImages.php again to upload a batch of Images to my wiki, not realizing that I'd run out of disc-space (yeah, stupid me). So the script stalled in the middle of the process and I had to kill it with Ctrl-C. After I had figured out the problem, I removed a few files to free up some disc-space and thought everything would be fine again. But then the oddities started, sometimes pictures that I uploaded (no matter whether via imageImport or one by one with the normal web-uploader) started to randomely disappear and re-appear. Unfortunately these problems prevailed, so I decided to look into the problem a bit. So up to now I tried: * repairing the searchindex-table * clearing the cache (unsuccessful because my wiki doesn't have caching enabled) * changed the LocalSettings file to make the disappearing pics go away for good * used deleteBatch and deleteArchivedFiles to get rid of the images * backed up database, deleted it and re-created it * re-installed MediaWiki Btw, the version I'm using is 1.17. Unfortunately the wiki isn't public (and since I'm using it for shared research results I can't make it), so I can't just directly point you to it. The strange thing is, e.g. looking at Special:NewFiles, the thumbnails and Image-Info are sometimes there, but doing Refresh in the browser makes them alternatingly go away and re-appear. (I tried with both Firefox and Chromium.) When looking at file-links it's the same, sometimes they're red, then they're blue. So all in all I'm kinda assuming that this is a database-issue, but i have no clue how to "reset" the database without having to restore my content by hand (which I'd really rather not do, because it's a lot of work). I'm really stuck here and don't know much else to do, but if any of you have ideas for debugging or even better: solving this issue, I would be most greatful! All the best Simon Steinbeiß _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l
