I uploaded the images using FTP. How do I do Special:Upload?
On the navigation box, I am wondering why the pages do not exist. Especially the help pages.
Thanks, Gary

I can not figure out how to get images to appear in an edited page. According to the edit instructions, entering [[File:example.jpg|center|100px|caption]] should work, but I get just the word caption as a link to example.jpg.

You uploaded the image through Special:Upload, right? It sounds like you don't have the right renderer installed/enabled. See http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Image_Administration#Image_thumbnailing
Second problem is that in the navigation box only the Main selection works. Are there switches for the other items, especially for Help?
I don't understand the question. Do you want to remove the other items, or do you want to change them, or are you wondering why they link to pages that don't exist?

MediaWiki doesn't come with help pages.[0] There are pages on MediaWiki.org that you can import: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Project:PD_help/Copying The other items on the sidebar are really just suggestions; you can tweak the sidebar however you like: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Interface/Sidebar
[0] I forget whether that's on the "this would be nice to have once the new installer is ready" list or not.
Try [[image:imagename.jpg]] This should show, even if the thumbnail is not working correctly. If that works, but [[image:imagename.jpg|300px]] does not, then it is an issue with the thumbnail graphics generator.
Make sure that the wiki database knows where the image is. In the search box put "file:imagename.jpg" If the wiki finds them, then it is indexed in the database. If it is not found you may need to use the "image upload" link from the left side of the main page.

Hi Bri,
The search does not find the image file even though it is in the images directory. When I try to upload the image file using Special:upload, I get this error message "The upload directory (public) is missing and could not be created by the webserver" along with PHP error messages referring to the part in GlobalFunctions.php lines 2176 and 2179 which has to do with creating a new directory. I tried adding the public directory manually and that did not work either although I do not know where the public directory should be located.
Thanks, Gary

"public" is actually the images directory. It sounds like you moved it around or deleted it while you were uploading files through FTP. Make sure there is a directory called "images" in your wiki directory.
