[Mediawiki-l] Basic help

[Gary Roush]

Uploading files is finally fixed.  After escalating help with 
ReadyHosting to level 3, I finally found someone who could change the 
image directory permissions to "full" (their term).  That solved the 
problem, but interestingly when I look at the directory permissions 
using FileZilla, it still shows 755.  No idea why it does not show 
777, but since file upload now works I am done with this.

Thanks to those of you who helped!
