Created attachment 15596 [details] Screenshot of proc.open() failure. As titled: proc.open() (forgive me, I haven't the slightest idea what this is) is failing because host has it set to disabled -BUT- it didn't seem to be a problem since v1.22.6. Was this call added in v1.23.0? This seems to make MW unable to generate thumbnails, removing core functionality for some users.
Is proc_open listed under disable_functions in php.ini? If so, you might want to remove it. Might also be a question for https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Project:Support_desk General info: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Installing_third-party_tools#Image_thumbnailing
I'm on a shared host and they've informed me it is a disabled function, I don't have access to php.ini. The strange thing is that it seemed to work before 1.23.0, or at least when I installed at 1.22.6; I had thumbnails before.
proc_open has been used for ages in MediaWiki code (e.g. line 2935 of https://git.wikimedia.org/blame/mediawiki%2Fcore.git/HEAD/includes%2FGlobalFunctions.php ) - you might have been "lucky" before to not have run into the problem earlier, and it might get exposed now because it also got added in a code location that you use (my wild guess). I don't think that anything can actually be fixed here on the MediaWiki side.
Sorry, was wrong here. See bug 66467 for the fix. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 66467 ***
