[Mediawiki-l] Upload Directory Issue

[Rowe, Dolores A]

When I try to upload a gif file using my v1.11.0 MediaWiki, I get the
following
error message:

"The upload directory (public) is not writable by the webserver.
Retrieved from "http://wiki-ms-0-1/f15mp/index.php?title=Special:Upload"
<http://wiki-ms-0-1/f15mp/index.php?title=Special:Upload> "

However, I don't have any directory named "public" in my structure,
actually is it
the default struction, and I am trying to upload to the "images"
directory.

Pls let me know if you have any suggestions.

Thanx !
Lori
