Hi , I moved my mediawiki to another server, all of the data in the content is showing up , but none of the images show. I have moved the entire /image directory. What reason could there be for the images not showing up? I get this message where the images should be Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination

Hi!

I guess you have a permission problem. Make sure that the webserver user has access to the image directory. He must be able to read and write to the folder and to subfolders. Maybe you don't even have to change the file permissions themselves; it might already be enough to modify owner and group of these files.

You should also check/change the owner of those files and folders, because when transferred from one host to another (depending on how did you do that) they may still have the "old" owners, that may not match the user and group running the apache server, which would cause problems when doing deletes or renames of files.
