Did you account for /images or /skins and a whole lot of other things in your .htaccess
file? Always a bad idea to put the install in the root. This is only the start of what you
need to think of. Robots.txt, google verification file, /extensions which store files such
as processed widgets. Search engines will have their way with your wiki. Indexing edit
pages and revision pages unless you create special rules not just Disallow /w. It will
also make it harder to upgrade which is a mute discussion at this point. Not saying root
install isn't possible. Just a whole lot of things to consider. To start: Check the
path for /images and a file. If your rewrite doesn't ignore the /images directory
you'd 404 the call to it in a page. Simple test, call the hard url to an image.
/images/1/a/example.png. If it takes you to the wiki and says create a page your rewrite
is not excluding the directory and seeing it as a page. Tom
You should be able to mass upload missing images if you extract them from
the /images subdirectories and use the importimages.php as for graphs if
they are not in /images your probably missing the extension that created
it. Just download and install it to the new wiki.

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 understand. Yet I am upgraded to 1.22.7, but without the wiki as it
existed. I will
have to rebuild it somewhat by hand; some things (text based mostly) came
through
fine but images and drawings and graphs didn’t.
Thank you for the help John.
