[Mediawiki-l] Image uploading problems

Looks like wiki don't have permission to make a new folder or to store
images. Change permissions on the image folder and try again.

Subject: [Mediawiki-l] Image uploading problems

Hi,

I've installed Mediawiki 1.3.11 on a web host that allows for php
uploads, with safe mode off. However, I have a problem when trying to
upload jpegs. I get the following internal error warnings:

	Warning: mkdir(/home2/blahblah/public_html/wiki/images/e):
Permission denied in  
/home2/blahblah/public_html/wiki/includes/	GlobalFunctions.php on
line  
487

	Warning: mkdir(/home2/blahblah/public_html/wiki/images/e/ed): No
such file or directory in  
/home2/blahblah/public_html/wiki/	includes/GlobalFunctions.php on
line  
489

	Warning:  
move_uploaded_file(/home2/blahblah/public_html/wiki/images/e/ed/ 
IMG_0203.jpg): failed to open stream: No such file or 	directory in  
/home2/blahblah/public_html/wiki/includes/SpecialUpload.php on line 312

	Warning: move_uploaded_file(): Unable to move '/tmp/phpjYf7v7'
to '/home2/tomtxu/public_html/wiki/images/e/ed/IMG_0203.jpg' in  
/	home2/blahblah/public_html/wiki/includes/SpecialUpload.php on
line  
312

I get the impression that this is something to do with the mentioned php
files changing permissions, or failing to do so. But to be honest I'm a
newcomer to PHP, and any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Tom Roberts
