....Grumble, Grumble.
If you review my previous suggestion, Which I know works because Ive done
it myself several times. Is to move the old directory to a .old or archived
location and unpack the new mediawiki in the same place and use the same
setup you should have almost no issues. If you start re-naming the db,
moving paths and what not your just adding more variables to make it more
complex. At this point You may have caused too much damage to be properly
upgraded.

I copied over all the old images, which were in the

directory, to the
1.22.7/images directory, preserving hierarchy, etc.
They aren’t appearing, and I suspect it’s because of the path change that
happened
with the version change. Here are is my apache httpd.conf showing the
alias setup:
# # (old) Alias /wiki
/var/www/html/colorist/wiki3/mediawiki-1.20.5/index.php/Main_Page
# # (new)
Alias /wiki
/var/www/html/colorist/wiki3/mediawiki-1.22.7/index.php/Main_Page
So you can see perhaps

If
I have
to, will I be able to
go through manually grabbing and re-inserting them?
