Hi, I'm getting the "Could not create directory "mwstore://local-backend/local-public..." error when I attempt to upload a file. I verified that the privledges on the image upload dir and all sub dirs allow members of the apache group to write (modify/delete). A potential clue is that [[image:TooBusyToImprove.png|Too Busy To Improve]] link results in a broken link, the image does not appear. Thanks for your help!

Try to get the exact folder MediaWiki is trying to write to by setting a debug log (local-backend/local-public is just a placeholder). See manual:How to debug. Then check permissions for that directory.

If permissions are good, then the problem may be an external source, like SELinux.
