Error Message

The file is automatically deleted by web my files or via FileZilla

Other Information

When manually transferring file as above for media wiki the server is automatically deleting the common passwords.php preventing media wiki from successfully installing.
I don’t understand why.
When I used softalicous it installed but without any extensions.
When manually trying to activate them the website kept crashing.
Is there some setting I need to alter to make the manual install work as this way I can properly select the extensions I want to have working.
Thank you

Why are my files deleted after uploading them

Sometimes, when you upload a file, the upload is completed but the file is deleted immediately afterwards.

Looking at a fresh copy of MediaWiki, I do see there is a file common.php that’s 1.6 MB, which is larger than what is allowed on free hosting.

However, this file appears to be a data file only, containing a list of common passwords that are prohibited from use.

But I think you can work around this limitation by just removing a part of the common passwords. Removing about half the entries should do the trick. Or, if you just don’t care about this functionality at all, you can just replace the contents of the file with this:

<?php return [];
