I have set up a test server and yesterday installed 1.15.0 and got it up and running, no problem there. However I have added a logo $wgLogo = "images/courgette.png" the logo is the right size, again no problem but on entering the site at the main page no logo is visible, however when I click on log in and go to the log in page the logo suddenly appears, after logging in it vanishes again. If I create a new page, the logo is visible when I edit the page, but vanishes after saving. I have tried this from a couple of different machines with a couple of different browsers and there is no change in the behaviour. If I comment out the logo statement the default change this logo appears on every page, I have also tried moving the statement to different places in LocalSettings.php but that (obviously) does not help. Any useful comment would be appreciated, thanks --
Do you have short URLs set up? Sounds like you might have a bad rewrite rule.
It is a vanilla install, just for testing purposes, adding the logo is the most exotic thing I have done so far. I might just try to install it again in another directory and see what happens but I must admit I have never seen this before.
MediaWiki ships with sort-of-pretty URLs (index.php/Foo for regular page views instead of index.php?title=Foo) if you're using PHP as an Apache module. Since you're using a relative path for $wgLogo, your browser will request http://example.com/images/courgette.png when you're on an ugly URL (as when you're editing or logging in), but will request the nonexistent http://example.com/index.php/images/courgette.png the rest of the time.
Use $wgLogo = "{$wgUploadPath}/courgette.png";
