MediaWiki installs that use symlinks
In cases where the MediaWiki php files are symlinked to a central installation you will need to specify to the maintenance script the path of the LocalSettings.php file. For example: php maintenance/importImages.php --conf /var/wwwdata/website.org/wiki/LocalSettings.php /tmp/wikiimages .jpg .png .svg Otherwise you will get this error: A copy of your installation's LocalSettings.php must exist and be readable in the source directory.
