[Mediawiki-l] Images missing after WM 1.17 upgrade

[Rick Phillips]

I found the issue, in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf in the mediawiki
Virtualhost, I changed "AllowOverride Limit" to "AllowOverride all".
Requires httpd service restart. (service httpd restart).

Also used the following steps to upgrade the MediaWiki version:

1) Upload mediawiki-1.17.0.tar.gz to /tmp on the target server.

2) Run the following commands as the root user:


 cd /docs/www
 mkdir mediawiki-1.17.0
 cd mediawiki-1.13.3
 find * | cpio -pumdav ../mediawiki-1.17.0
 cd /docs/www
 tar -xzvf /tmp/mediawiki-1.17.0.tar.gz
 cd mediawiki-1.17.0
 find . -nouser | xargs chown apache:apache
 cd /docs/www
 rm -f mediawiki
 ln -s mediawiki-1.17.0 mediawiki
 cd mediawiki/maintenance
 php update.php
