Hi Benjamin,
The service I use (ReadyHosting.com) has changing permissions blocked so I have submitted a support ticket to get the directory images changed to 777.
Thanks, Gary

More precisely, chmod the images directory so that the webserver can write to it. (If you don't have access to chown or chgrp, then you will indeed have to chmod it to 777.)

Hi Benjamin,
I removed those two lines from LocalSettings.php and got a different error message of "Could not create directory "public/1/1f"". So it still can not create a directory but at least found the images directory. What now?
Thanks, Gary

Interesting that "public" is actually the images directory.
Yeah, that's rather unhelpful behavior. See https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13812 (which I'm re-adding to my to-do list).
$wgUploadPath = true; ///< defaults to "{$wgScriptPath}/images" $wgUploadDirectory = true; ///< defaults to "{$IP}/images"
$wgUploadPath and $wgUploadDirectory default to false, which allows them to be initialized in Setup.php; setting them to true is
probably
causing the odd behavior. You actually don't need to set
them at all
if you just want the defaults, so you should remove those two lines from LocalSettings.php.
