I hate to be blunt, but your email is pointless. If you want us to help troubleshoot the issues we need to know what they are. Are you getting error messages? what are those messages, what is the exact process to replicate the issue? ect.

I have a number of persistant issues with Mediawiki 1.22.4. These have persisted since I upgraded from 1.22.2 a few weeks ago. I "THINK" these are all related to some kind of permissions issues with the server. these are a section of the relevant lines from LocalSettings.php

Any one interested. Please look over these settings & send any ideas for correcting them to something that works with all images. The issues seems to also affect $wgInstantCommons usage as well.
Real path to the wiki is /var/www/pw I have set the /var/www/pw/images directory and all its recursives to mode 777 just as a temporary situation; I think that they should be set to 0775 or 0755. Entire site is owned by "myusername" not www-data or root Thanks for any assist. john
