Thread:Project:Support desk/Image permissions/reply

You should always upload and/or delete images from mediawiki's web interface (Which should automtiaclly have the same permission as your web server. If it doesn't something is very very odd with the way you have apache set up). You cannot simply put images in the images directory as that misses important stuff in the database. If you want to import images from the command line, you can use importImages.php, but you should either  or   into the web (_www) user.
