Proofread Page Extension( Mediawiki )Install Hitch

Although the extension page on Mediawiki lists pretty much everything that you need to have in order to install the Proofread Page extension, I ran into tiny bits of problem with my local install. So, it would be a nice to document the trivial errors.

1. If you visit a page and you don't find an option to edit it, then login as root.
2. If you don't see thumbnails appearing when you are browsing through djvu files, you would also see the error 'ppmtojpeg: EOF / read error reading magic number'. NO need to panic. Just add $wgMaxShellMemory = 302400 to your LocalSettings.php.

Happy coding!
