Thread:Project:Support desk/Problem uploading files: Could not create directory "mwstore://local-backend/local-public/5/54"./reply (19)

Hello~ I'm not good at english. But I had alike problem, such as "Could not create directory "mwstore://local-backend/local-public/....... ", and also have solved by myself. If you are able, do it. :)

First of all, I checked my "chown" in mediawiki/images, and found that owner+group was wrong. Mainly, php engine is using mediawiki as group name - "www-data".

So, I changed like this. "mediawiki> sudo chown -R ubuntu:www-data images". And perfectly, problem has solved.

Good luck to you. :)
