Upload Files Error: Could not open lock file for "mwstore://local-backend/local-public/..."

Hello, I run MediaWiki using Ubuntu 20.04 and XAMPP.

In order to solve this upload problem, I set the owner of the "Images" directory to www-date and set the permission to 755, but the problem has not been solved.

I can't solve this problem anymore because I'm a beginner of web server operation. If there is any information related to this, please let me know.

Thank you.

For starters its www-data not www-date.

XAMPP is a bit of an odd choice if using ubuntu. Normally you would use ubuntu's builtin package manager (e.g. apt).

If using xampp, apache may be running as a different user and not www-data, so its possible that that is not the correct owner for the files.
