I am working on a MediaWiki 1.24.2 installation with Oracle DB. This is behind a company firewall with nothing facing the public. A requirement is that it must use Oracle so I cannot change this. The installation is up and I can edit and create pages without issue. I was able to import the pages from the old 1.19 version (MySQL DB).
Whenever I try to upload a file, I get the error Could not create directory "mwstore://local-backend/local-public".
The mediawiki/images directory is currently 777 (recursively) but the error still comes up (yes, I know, but until I find out why it isn't working, I got nothing). $wgFileExtensions = array('png', 'gif', 'jpg', 'jpeg', 'doc'); $wgUploadPath = '/images'; $wgEnableUploads = true;
I have googled this several different ways and gone a several pages deep on each one looking for an answer. I know a little php, but would not call myself an expert. I realize the path presented is an alias.
It looks like an image very BRIEFLY shows up in the /images path when trying to upload, but then the error happens and the image is deleted (based on working with one of our *nix guys and watching log files).
