Uploading files

I would like to add pictures to my MediaWiki site. According
to some 
documentation I was reading I need to enable file uploads in

LocalSettings.php. I copied the code, pasted it into the 
LocalSettings.php file. When I went to upload a file it said
file 
uploads were not allowed.

How do I turn file uploads on?

I tried the following code

    $wgUploadPath       = "$wgScriptPath/uploads";
     ## Wiki 1.5 defaults to /images, but allows more than
just images
    $wgUploadDirectory  = "$IP/uploads";          
     ## Wiki 1.5 defaults to /images, but allows more than
just images

    ## To enable image uploads, make sure the above
'$wgUploadPath' directory is writable by Apache User or
group.
    ## /(i.e.  chmod og+w uploads images)/  then the
following should be true:
    $wgEnableUploads                = true;

Did you do that too?  What are the permissions on that
folder?

Cheers,

I checked. Made a few changes and I still get the same
thing. File 
uploads are not allowed.

I got it working!

I placed the code at the top of the LocalSettings.php file.
What I 
didn't know is that ferther down the file there was a line
turning file 
uploads off. Once I changed that to "true" I was
able to upload files.

Off the top of my head I can think of two things. First, is
uploading files
enabled on your web server? You might have to enable it
first through your
php.ini file. The line in my file looks like this:

file_uploads = On

Secondly, in your LocalSettings.php, I believe that the
$wgEnableUploads
variable is already included. Maybe you're pasting that code
before the
$wgEnableUploads = false line. This in effect is setting it
to true, then
later setting it to false. Check to see if your file has two
occurrences of
this variable.
