I am still unable to set the commons wiki properly. Could someone paste here
a working LocalSettings.php wgSharedUpload configuration? Or could I see
wikipedia's configuration? That would make it a lot easier to retroengineer
it and adapt to my site's setup.

Thank you Brion! will check into DefaultSettings next time.
Can :en/images be simply set up as a commons replacement? I set up the
following in a spanish localization (
http://mpkb.net/es/Portada ),
which doesn't seem to work:
$wgSharedUploadPath = "http://mpkb.net/wikien/images";
$wgSharedUploadDirectory = "/public_html/wikien/images";
$wgHashedSharedUploadDirectory = true;
$wgSharedUploadDBname = "commons";
$wgSharedLatin1=false;
(wikien is the english copy)
I left wgHashedSharedUploadDirectory wgSharedUploadDBname as they
were because I didn't know what they stood for.
In particular what is the "file system where shared uploads can be
found"? Is that supposed to equal $wgSharedUploadDirectory =
"/public_html/wikien/images"; or is it some other directory? It's
confusing because the comments say it's a file system but the veraible
name says "DB" should I link it to the english MediaWiki db? (but the
spanish mediawiki has no access right to the english db)

All configurable settings are in DefaultSettings.php; please always
refer to this file first.

$wgUseSharedUploads = false;

$wgSharedUploadPath = "http://commons.wikimedia.org/shared/images";

$wgSharedUploadDirectory = "/var/www/wiki3/images";
# Set this to false especially if you have a set of files that need to

use the hash

$wgHashedSharedUploadDirectory = true;
# Path on the file system where shared uploads can be found
$wgSharedUploadDBname = "commons";
# set true if the repository uses latin1 filenames
$wgSharedLatin1=false;
