My image gallery shows only 1 of the first 48 images; the other image gallery pages are more complete but missing some images and pages which reference them contain Image: text instead of images/thumbnails. I can't identify a pattern: some of the missing files are jpg, some are png, yet other jpg and png images work fine. Some images which are stored in in wiki/images/4/4e appear, others do not, although they have the same file permissions. If I view the http://host:/wiki/Image:CodePro_Collaboration_Server_Preferences.png image page, the image does not appear but the link to the raw image, i.e. http://host/wikifiles/images/4/4a/CodePro_Collaboration_Server_Preferences.png does appear.

I successfully installed 1.4.5 and loaded by database into it's MySQL server and copied the images folder in its entirety. I modified my LocalSettings.php accordingly, and most of the 1.5.5 wiki works (including skins, my site logo, the EditPage button images), with the exception some of these images. Most images do work.
