Thread:Project:Support desk/Could not create directory "mwstore://local-backend/local-public/5/54"

Hello, I upgraded from 1.16 to 1.21 and now 1.21.1 I am running the latest MW(see below).

Installed software Product Version MediaWiki 1.21.1 PHP 5.3.8 (apache2handler) MySQL 5.1.60 Entry point URLs Entry point URL Article path /mediawiki-1.21.1/index.php/$1 Script path /mediawiki-1.21.1 index.php /mediawiki-1.21.1/index.php api.php /mediawiki-1.21.1/api.php load.php /mediawiki-1.21.1/load.php

After the upgrade from 1.16, if I attempt to upload a file, I get the error:

Could not create directory "mwstore://local-backend/local-public/5/54".

In LocalSettings.php: $wgEnabledUploads = true;

I have changed persmissions to 777 all the way down to /var/www/html/wiki/images. I have also changed owner/group to root, apache, and both users to no avail.

Has anyone had this problem and have it not be a permissions/ownership issue(s)? Any help would be most appreciated.

Thanks, Phil
