I just set the permissions to 666 for the images folder. My hosting provider said that giving it 777 would prevent things from working, not that it would have more than enough permission. Ok, so I tried to load the file and this is what I got: Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /w/images/d/d3/BruceCloseup.jpg on this server. Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request. I could try giving it the permission: 755, as that is what I see on the MW install that works. However, I also see the images appearing on the pages themselves, e.g. File:BruceCloseup.jpg Actually, that seems to have done it! Wow. I did a set permission to 755 on the images folder and then told it to do this recursively into the files and folders and now it works.

See where in your directory structure the image ends up and check whether the access privileges for the folders look different from the ones where it works B.
