Thread:Project:Support desk/Images missing after WM 1.17 upgrade

I am in the process of upgrading from MediaWiki 1.13.3 (r45790), PHP 5.2.11, MySQL 5.1.42 to MediaWiki 1.17.0, PHP 5.2.13, MySQL 5.1.47 on a Fedora 11 server. I have replicated the production server in a virtual machine to ensure the upgrade went well. This site is an internal company Wiki and is not accessible externally.

On the replica virtual machine, I have followed the instructions at the bottom of http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Upgrading, I have made several attempts using minor variations. After all of these attempts, none of the images in my Wiki will display, I just get the filename listed on the page. If I go to the Special:UncategorizedFiles page, none of the thumbnails are displayed, again just filenames. If I go to the File: page for an image, the image is not displayed, but all the info appears correct.

For example: File:BaselineDiag.png Size of this preview: 800 × 269 pixels Full resolution‎ (4,142 × 1,393 pixels, file size: 439 KB, MIME type: image/png) Baseline Diagram from Visio

I have attempted to run the "maintenance/rebuildImages.php" script with no success, no output at all, which concerned me.

I have attempted this with both $wgUseImageMagick = true; and $wgImageMagickConvertCommand = "/usr/bin/convert"; set and with these entries commented out.

The images (445) all displayed fine before the upgrade but not after.

BTW, using the instructions referenced above, resulted in me losing the favicon I had setup.
