Many thanks, this wasn't clear because there was no 'uploads' directory
in the main MW directory. Presumably it doesn't get created unless
necessary :-) I created the appropriate directory and moved the images
into it.
Having gotten past this difficult, the next one is a permissions
problem. Here is the command and resulting output:
-------------
172:~/Sites/mediawiki-1.6.5 Ken$ sudo php maintenance/rebuildImages.php
--missing
<h1><img src='/~Ken/mediawiki-1.6.5/skins/common/images/wiki.png'
style='float:left;margin-right:1em' alt=''>ZBrushInfo has a
problem</h1><p><strong>Sorry! This site is experiencing technical
difficulties.</strong></p><p>Try waiting a few minutes and
reloading.</p><p><small>(Can't contact the database server: Access
denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)
(127.0.0.1))</small></p>17
--------------
I've inserted a blank line to make clear the delineation between the
input and output. Also note that I tried it both with and without
'sudo', and issued the command from both the main directory and from the
'maintenance' directory. To make it clear, the directory containing the
images was maintenance/../uploads
I do of course know my name and password for the site (actually it's a
test site running on my own machine), but I have no idea where the
rebuildImages script would get this information from. There don't seem
to be any command-line args. Again, could someone be kind enough to
provide suggestions?
Your obvious newbie,

Dir = directory = folder. The 'Uploads'
folder, in you're mediawiki
root folder (the main folder with the 'index.php' file directly in
it) is where the images go.

Given that we have full access to our server, it
appears to me that we
should be able to batch upload the images from our Moin wiki using the
"rebuildImages.php" script. Here are a few lines of comments from the
start of this script:
* Script to update image metadata records
*
* Usage: php rebuildImages.php [--missing] [--dry-run]
* Options:
* --missing Crawl the uploads dir for images without records, and
* add them only.

Unfortunately, I have no idea what or where the "uploads dir" is.
To put
it more accurately, I don't know where or how on the commandline to
specify the location of the images to upload. I've looked through both
of the other files imported into this script, but without
enlightenment
:-(. Could anyone tell me how to get past this problem?
Thanks,
Ken
