Hi,
Have you read this page:
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Upload?
In the chapter 1 + 2 there are the instruction.
Maybe you forgot to enable the upload in MW:
In MediaWiki version 1.5 and later, the attribute to be set resides in
LocalSettings.php and is as follows:
$wgEnableUploads = true; # Enable uploads
This enables uploads, as one might expect. To disable them, set the
attribute to false:
$wgEnableUploads = false; # Disable uploads
And the page:
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:LocalSettings.php#Image_uploads
You must set the right for uploading, too:
For config direction:
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:User_rights#Changing_group_permissions
For the rights see:
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:User_rights#List_of_Permissions,
chapter "Editing"
For usergroups see:
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:User_rights#List_of_Groups
If you are not log in it can be, that you can't upload.
Viele Grüße
Jan Luca

Betreff: [Mediawiki-l] Setting up uploads (v1.12)
Hi all,
I've been trying to set up uploads and despite all the information and FAQs
on the Mediawiki web
site, I have been unsuccessful. One problem might be because I'm using an
old version of MediaWiki
-- v1.12. This old version is the current version for the latest stable
version of Debian, so this
is what I'm stuck with. (I know I can upgrade just mediawiki, but I'd like
to avoid that as I would
like to try to keep everything at the same Debian distribution.)
Where I've gotten to is that the "Upload" link appears and when I click it
and select an image file
(.png) to upload, I get taken to a page with a very brief message:
Upload file
Upload warning
Protected page
None of these messages are hyper-linked and the last one is in red. To my
knowledge, the file was
never received (I can't seem to find it). Are there error logs to help me
find out what I'm doing
wrong? I believe by default they should go to /var/lib/mediawiki/images and
I've given write
permission to that directory. I guess I'm missing something obvious still;
does anyone have any
suggestions on what I should try?
Thanks in advance!
Ray
