Thread:Project:Support desk/Uploaded images aren't uploading to server; returning a 404 file not found when I click on the link

Hello all, I could really use some help: Using a bluehost server; after having this error repeatedly, I guessed that the problem was that I used Installatron to install Mediawiki To correct that, I did a REAL install last night-- didn't correct the problem. Tried switching from PHP 5.3 to 5.4 - no effect Adjusted images folder to 777 - no effect Uploads are enabled in both Local Settings: $wgEnableUploads = true; $wgUseImageMagick = true; $wgImageMagickConvertCommand = "/usr/bin/convert"; AND php.ini file_uploads = On

The upload process on the wiki itself seems to work fine-- the upload screen shows the thumbnail of the image about the imported. Once the upload is done however, no image displays-- just the question marked thumbnails. When I click on the image link itself, it takes me to a 404 screen with the URL typically /w/images/'number or letter'/'number or letter'/'my filename'. No folder or file is created in /images, however.

This led me to believe that the wiki was handling the upload properly, but that the php was not.

The only thing I could think was that the temporary file wasn't being handled appropriately by the php, so I started by editing upload_tmp_dir. I created an {IP}/tmp folder and set it to 777. Changed the value in php.ini to: upload_tmp_dir = /tmp no effect

Next I tried to force the move of the uploaded files-- I'm not an experienced coder, so this is the best I could find of how to actually do that: move_uploaded_file($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'], "/home2/icozeroc/public_html/w/images")

no effect

This is getting very frustrating because I can't upload images (or any file for that matter) to my site.

I'm also confused because I've imported numerous templates, including all of the mbox and associated families, all which have image thumbnails in them I also have successfully used many instances of Extension:EmbedImg with tags, so I'm really not sure what the problem is, but I can't go further without the solution.

PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!
