Thank you for that, I will either make the wiki admin edit only or constantly moderate user posts however I didn't beleve that apache would fully allow .htaccess functions like that though seeing that it does thanks :biggrin:!
Mediawiki wants to prevent execution of php files in the uploads directory, here is what you are supposed to do normally: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Security#Upload_security
I am trying to install mediawiki without using softaculous but I haven't worked out how to do a similar thing to editing the httpd.conf file with cpanel and would like to know how, if possible you can do it.
