Problem uploading pictures to the wiki

[martinr]

When I try to upload a picture I get an error message:

"The upload directory (/var/www/caving/wiki/images) is not writable by the webserver. "

????

Thanks for letting me know - it's something i forgot when the server OS was upgraded.

Fixed now

Me too.

Internal error

Could not copy file "/tmp/phpwOwulI" to "/var/www/caving/wiki/images/d/d9/UF051007lowres.JPG".

Ok, i didn't change the permissions on the subdirectories of /images - should be ok now, fingers crossed...

I've the uploaded fine now, but if I try and resize the image or use a thumbnail I get the following message: "Error creating thumbnail: sh: /usr/bin/convert: not found "

Hmmmm...

The old server used ImageMagick to create thumbnails, etc.

The new server does't have ImageMagick installed but it will try to do the same thing using PHP.

Please try again, i've updated the config file accordingly. I'd do it myself if i could remember how to get mediawiki to create a thumbnail 

If it doesn't work then i'll install imagemagick tonight.

Seems to be working now. Cheers!
