Following this suggestion: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Thread:Project:Support_desk/uploading_images I renamed the .htaccess file in the \wiki\images folder to .htaccess.old and everything works now.
Is that safe?
Thank you all very much for all the suggestions and feedback.

Since there's a 500 error, there should be an entry in the server error log. If you're lucky, it might even be something helpful. :)

The actual image load gives an 'internal server error' eg http://wiki.marylandshallissue.org/images/8/88/MHP.png
Most likely this is an issue with file permissions and the server configuration; many public hosts are set up to disallow web access to world-writable directories as a security measure, and the 'images' dirs
for
uploads are often set up as world-writable by default to make it easier
for
web and maintenance scripts to both access the files.
Try in a terminal on your wiki directory:
chmod -R 0755 images
add to your LocalSettings.php to fix future dirs:
$wgDirectoryMode = 0755;
See if that helps...
