Estate wiki (talkcontribs)

I have been unable to avoid the following warning message every time I try to upload an image to my wiki. I have enabled file uploading in my php settings and .ini files and the issue persists. Any suggestions are much appreciated to allow me to upload images without getting errors like this. Thank you!

WARNING MESSAGE:

"Upload warning

Can you post the contents of your LocalSettings.php? Make sure that you redact passwords, etc. from it first.

Are you using Apache, IIS, or something different? Make sure that the user you're running as has permission to write to the images directory.

Estate wiki (talkcontribs)

This is running on IIS. How can I verify that the user has permission to write to the images directory?

Jackmcbarn (talkcontribs)

Make sure the IUSR_whatever account can write to it. Check/fix this in the Security tab of the directory's Properties window.

Estate wiki (talkcontribs)

They can indeed write to it....error still preventing images to be uploaded.

Jackmcbarn (talkcontribs)

Can you post a screenshot of the Security window?

Estate wiki (talkcontribs)

Sorry for the novice question - but how do I post a photo??? I have a screen shot, but I don't see a way to upload anything from my computer.
