[Mediawiki-l] Upload dir "not writable" under XAMPP setup - How to make writable??

[David Reimer]

Thanks for that! Good idea, but it doesn't seem to have done the
trick. It results in variations on the error message:

"The upload directory ([whatever dir spec I put in LocalSettings.php])
is not writable by the webserver."

I tried changing both path and dir, in various combinations. :(
Everything else in the installation seems to be working beautifully
(and I have a couple of CMSs purring away, too). It's just the upload
option in MW that seems to be sticky.....

Any other suggestions gratefully received!
David.
