Hi Bri, The search does not find the image file even though it is in the images directory. When I try to upload the image file using Special:upload, I get this error message "The upload directory (public) is missing and could not be created by the webserver" along with PHP error messages referring to the part in GlobalFunctions.php lines 2176 and 2179 which has to do with creating a new directory. I tried adding the public directory manually and that did not work either although I do not know where the public directory should be located.

If it is not found you may need to use the "image >upload" link from the left side of the main page. > >-Bri > >On 11/28/2010 11:43 PM, Gary Roush wrote: > > I uploaded the images using FTP.
