Thread:Project:Support desk/Wiki unable to display uploaded images (image links point to local computer's drive--rather than webserver)

Windows 2008 MediaWiki	1.16.1 PHP	5.3.5 (cgi-fcgi) MySQL	5.5.8

Hello,

We are setting up a new mediawiki installation. After using the toolbox to upload an (image) file, every attempt to display that image anywhere within mediawiki fails because the HTML IMG tag which mediawiki composes points to the local drive of the client computer -- rather than the web server.

So for example: -I use the toolbox 'upload file' page to upload "Smhasti.jpg"

-The upload succeeds on the backend (I can view the image by going directly to http://server/mediawiki/images/9/97/Smhasti.jpg )

-However when I view the File History page for this file and mediawiki tries to show a preview of the image, the HTML code generated is: img alt="File:Smhasti.jpg" src="C:\inetpub\wwwroot\mediawiki\images/9/97/Smhasti.jpg

-The image fails to display because obviously my client computer does not have Smhasti.jpg stored on its local C-drive.

Thoughts? Thanks!

Jason
