Thread:Project:Support desk/Moving wiki & images from BitNami/Apache to mw/IIS

Hi. I've successfully moved mediawiki articles from a BitNami WAMP stack ( mw v 1.17.0) to Win 2008R2 IIS (v 1.16.2 [unfortunately]) using the export and import special pages.

However, I am unable to get images to appear. I have copied the /image folder and all subfolders and files, including .htacces I can upload new images and they appear in the /images hierachy as expected. Images are referenced by simple  syntax, no paths. I tried turning off $wgHashedUploadDirectory so now new files are placed in the /images root not subfolders, then copied a couple of old images to the /images folder, but they still don't appear in the articles.

I read somewhere that mw maintains a table of image properties. Could this be why the images aren't appearing? I'm stumped! Any help would be much appreciated... thanks. Pete
