Thread:Project:Support desk/File Uploading Error - Mac hosting

Hello, I am currently running XAMPP on my Macbook Pro to host Mediawiki (just locally though, so unfortunately I can't provide a URL). Whenever I try to upload files, I get errors..

When I try to upload a .jpg, I get "Could not create directory "mwstore://local-backend/local-public/7/7b"." or "Could not create directory "mwstore://local-backend/local-public/e/e8"." When I try to upload a .pdf (yes I did add pdf to the accepted files list), I get "Could not create directory "mwstore://local-backend/local-public/1/12"." Basically, it changes generally with each file.

I have tried the sudo chmod commands (755) to allow access to the /images folder under my Wiki directory, but to no avail. Maybe I am trying to allow permission to the wrong user...? I am the admin and only user of this computer, so I don't understand how it could be an issue with permissions.

Any ideas?

Version Info: MediaWiki 1.23.1 PHP 5.5.11 (apache2handler) MySQL 5.6.16

Best, Ryan
