I found the issue, in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf in the mediawiki Virtualhost, I changed "AllowOverride Limit" to "AllowOverride all". Requires httpd service restart. (service httpd restart).
Also used the following steps to upgrade the MediaWiki version:
1) Upload mediawiki-1.17.0.tar.gz to /tmp on the target server.
2) Run the following commands as the root user:
cd /docs/www mkdir mediawiki-1.17.0 cd mediawiki-1.13.3 find * | cpio -pumdav ../mediawiki-1.17.0 cd /docs/www tar -xzvf /tmp/mediawiki-1.17.0.tar.gz cd mediawiki-1.17.0 find . -nouser | xargs chown apache:apache cd /docs/www rm -f mediawiki ln -s mediawiki-1.17.0 mediawiki cd mediawiki/maintenance php update.php

I am in the process of upgrading from MediaWiki 1.13.3 (r45790), PHP 5.2.11, MySQL 5.1.42 to MediaWiki 1.17.0, PHP 5.2.13, MySQL 5.1.47 on a Fedora 11 server. I have replicated the production server in a virtual machine to ensure the upgrade went well. This site is an internal company Wiki and is not accessible externally.
On the replica virtual machine, I have followed the instructions at the bottom of http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Upgrading, I have made several attempts using minor variations. After all of these attempts, none of the images in my Wiki will display, I just get the filename listed on the page. If I go to the Special:UncategorizedFiles page, none of the thumbnails are displayed, again just filenames. If I go to the File: page for an image, the image is not displayed, but all the info appears correct.
For example:
File:BaselineDiag.png Size of this preview: 800 × 269 pixels Full resolution (4,142 × 1,393 pixels, file size: 439 KB, MIME type: image/png) Baseline Diagram from Visio
I have attempted to run the "maintenance/rebuildImages.php" script with no success, no output at all, which concerned me.
I have attempted this with both $wgUseImageMagick = true; and $wgImageMagickConvertCommand = "/usr/bin/convert"; set and with these entries commented out.
The images (445) all displayed fine before the upgrade but not after.
