I (thought I had) configured a new wiki to upload

Couple of things:
* right-click and copy the URL to the broken image
* paste that somewhere and make sure it looks correct
* paste into the URL bar and load explicitly: do you see an error, a web
page, etc?
Common problems may include:
* wrong $wgUploadPath pointing to wrong URL
* bad rewrite rules showing you wiki pages instead of images
* some system "/images" alias taking over your "images" directory in
root
