Thread:Project:Support desk/Upload and links to image files don't work

We used wiki on the stick and everything we tried worked nice (version 1.16) (http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Installing_on_MoWeS_Portable_(Windows)), so we decided to install wiki 1.19 on our server (http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Installing_MediaWiki_on_Windows_Server_2008 ). Now we can’t solve problems with uploading images file (png & jpg) and including images on pages. (Upload and links work OK for many other file types, such as: doc, docx, xls, pdf and zip.)

1st problem: upload of image files interrupted with “500 error” message – however, the file is saved in the image folder, but page with the file is not produced. i.e. there is no page such as file:name.png page as is the case with the wiki on a stick.

2nd problem: link shows as text on a page, but when try to use  instead, “500 error” message shows again.

Not experienced with installations of Mediawikis and my guess is that something is not right with parameters used in LocalSettings.php. So here are some parameters that are different between the two installations:

For Wiki on a stick:

$wgSitename        = "MoWeS Portable";

(#$wgMetaNamespace not used)

$wgScriptPath      = "/mediawiki";

$wgScriptExtension = ".php";

($wgServer           not used)

For server installation:

$wgSitename     = "Our Wiki";

$wgMetaNamespace = "Our_Wiki";

$wgScriptPath      = "";

$wgScriptExtension = ".php";

$wgServer          = "http://server";

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
