Thread:Project:Support desk/image file upload problem

Hi all, I've been working on this issue for several days but can't find a working answer. Please help.

I'm running: media wiki 1.15 mysql Ver 14.14 Distrib 5.1.48 Apache/2.2.16 (Unix) php version 5.3.3 OS: Fedora 13

I got error message "The upload directory (public) is not writable by the webserver." I'd like to know 1. which folder is the image uploading to? Is it the 'images' folder located in /var/www/html/wiki ? 2. I have already set the folder and sub folder permission for 'images' to 777, but i still can't upload anything. the folder is owned by root but 777 should allow anyone to write anything to it? 3. which user is actully running the apache process? apache? do i need to set the folder ownership and group all to 'apache'?

many thanks.
