Hi, Have you read this page: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Upload?
In the chapter 1 + 2 there are the instruction. Maybe you forgot to enable the upload in MW: In MediaWiki version 1.5 and later, the attribute to be set resides in LocalSettings.php and is as follows: $wgEnableUploads = true; # Enable uploads This enables uploads, as one might expect. To disable them, set the attribute to false: $wgEnableUploads = false; # Disable uploads And the page: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:LocalSettings.php#Image_uploads You must set the right for uploading, too: For config direction: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:User_rights#Changing_group_permissions For the rights see: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:User_rights#List_of_Permissions, chapter "Editing" For usergroups see: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:User_rights#List_of_Groups If you are not log in it can be, that you can't upload.

One problem might be because I'm using an old version of MediaWiki -- v1.12. This old version is the current version for the latest stable version of Debian, so this is what I'm stuck with. (I know I can upgrade just mediawiki, but I'd like to avoid that as I would like to try to keep everything at the same Debian distribution.) Where I've gotten to is that the "Upload" link appears and when I click it and select an image file (.png) to upload, I get taken to a page with a very brief message: Upload file Upload warning Protected page None of these messages are hyper-linked and the last one is in red. To my knowledge, the file was never received (I can't seem to find it). Are there error logs to help me find out what I'm doing wrong? I believe by default they should go to /var/lib/mediawiki/images and I've given write permission to that directory. I guess I'm missing something obvious still; does anyone have any suggestions on what I should try? Thanks in advance!
