Figured this one out, posting in case someone else finds it of use.
Basically, it was a stupid little mistake of mine. I zipped the images
to transfer them, and the zip protocol doesn't preserve permissions.
Once I realized this, it was a simple matter to grant the appropriate
permissions on the directory structure and image files. I've probably
granted permissions that are too liberal, but it appears to me that
there's little chance a user could ever manipulate the files in any
direct manner, assuming our other security is decent.
Cheers,
Ken

Having moved a wiki from one server to another using
mysqldump (thanks
for all the previous help, everyone!), I then moved the images directory
over as well. Unfortunately, none of the images are displaying. This was
a move from a 1.6.3 wiki to a 1.6.9 one, so I diffed the old
LocalConfig.php file against the new one, and the only relevant change
we'd forgotten to include was '$wgFileExtensions = array( 'png',
'gif',
'jpg', 'jpeg', 'zip', 'mov', 'pdf' );', which
I then put in to the new
config file. Still didn't work, unfortunately.
So I then tried creating a blank images directory, and using
importImages.php to load all of the images. However, this gives me
mostly 'no such file or directory' errors, presumably because I don't
have the images/0, images/0/00, etc subdirectories in the images
directory. I also get a few errors noting that a give file is already in
the wiki.
Any suggestions as to the best course from here? Any thoughts on what
might have caused the images to fail to display on the initial attempt?
Thanks,
Ken
