Thread:Project:Support desk/Can't delete image uploads. "Error deleting file: Could not create directory 'mwstore://local-backend/local-deleted/a/x/b'."

Product Version

MediaWiki 1.23.1

PHP 5.5.9-1ubuntu4.3 (apache2handler)

MySQL 5.5.38-0ubuntu0.14.04.1

Ubuntu Server is running on a Virtual Machine. My /var/www/html/mediawiki/images directory is mounted to my storage drive as the boot drive is only for the OS. The Wiki is private.

LocalSettings.php does not have $wgUploadDirectory or $wgUploadPath set, so those are the default. $wgDeletedDirectory is a mount on another file server which has the same permissions as the images directory. 755 & www-data as both owner & group.

Directory: /var/www/html/mediawiki/images (mounted to a different drive than the rest of /var/www/html/mediawiki) /mnt/fileserver/deletedwikifiles

php.ini has file_uploads set to on and my version means that safe_mode isn't the issue. I read about a bug regarding upgrading MediaWiki from 1.22 to 1.23 causing file uploads to be broken, but that was traced back to shared hosts and this server isn't shared.

Any help is appreciated.
