I've been searching and asked around but I'm not making any progress. We have a mediawiki intergrated with IPB. We want to enable file uploads, specifically images. The instructions we found were to enable uploads in LocalSettings.php and to create a directory for uploads and chmod 777 it. We've done that but when we try to upload an image it tells us that it's disabled. We'd really like to resolve this issue. If anybody can offer any help it would be greatly appreciated.
If MediaWiki is insisting that uploads are not enabled, it means that the effective value of $wgEnableUploads is being reset to false at some point prior to the end of LocalSettings.php execution, or perhaps extension initialisation, etc.
Add the line $wgEnableUploads = true; to LocalSettings.php at the end of the file. If the line "?>" is present, remove it.
