We're trying to upgrade a French language wiki for educative purposes from 1.13.0 to 1.15.1, and at the same time migrate it to from shared hosting to a dedicated server running Debian.
Most things are working fine, except for a weird problem with images with filenames with accented characters. Characters in the texts are working fine however.
When #$wgHashedUploadDirectory = false; is commented out images are showing. With $wgHashedUploadDirectory = false; images aren't showing and upload.
When we upload a file called "a-é-çtest3.png" the following error shows up: Impossible de renommer le fichier « temp/5/52/20091012063528!A-é-çtest3.png » en « public/5/52/A-é-çtest3.png »
This is MediaWiki:Filerenameerror. But according to mediawiki.org this message should no longer be required - http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Filerenameerror

Note that if you installed 1.10 with the "backwards compatible" schema, you will need to specify the --default-character-set=binary option to mysqldump in order to copy it correctly.
Now, we don't have SSH access at the current hosting solution and cPanel/phpMyAdmin doesn't seem to have this option. Or does it? Now we're trying to get a dump with this options through the simple hosting support but we might not be able to acquire it.
It's a bit confusing at this point. So all hints and comments are welcome.
thanks, Kasper

What are the permissions of folder images/5/52/ ?

"No longer required" in the deletion means that it's no longer required to have a copy of the files in the MediaWiki namespace. Not that the message is no longer used.

If your problem is just with the uploads, you're having a different problem than Matthew Richards.
