So I've been having trouble with file uploads on my newly made wiki recently.
Whenever I upload a file, I get the error:
Could not create directory "mwstore://local-backend/local-public".
Let me give you some background on the situation.
When I first made the wiki, I would get: Exception from line 1871 of /wiki/includes/filerepo/file/LocalFile.php: Could not acquire lock for 'blah.png'
I searched and eventually found that to fix this you add the following to LocalSettings.php:
$wgFileBackends[] = array(
'name' => 'local-backend',
'class' => 'FSFileBackend',
'lockManager' => 'nullLockManager',
'containerPaths' => array(
'local-public' => "{$wgUploadDirectory}",
'local-thumb' => "{$wgUploadDirectory}/thumb",
'local-deleted' => $wgDeletedDirectory,
'local-temp' => "{$wgUploadDirectory}/temp",
),
'fileMode' => 0644,
);
$wgLocalFileRepo = array (
'class' => 'LocalRepo',
'name' => 'local',
'directory' => $wgUploadDirectory,
'scriptDirUrl' => $wgScriptPath,
'scriptExtension' => $wgScriptExtension,
'url' => $wgUploadBaseUrl ? $wgUploadBaseUrl . $wgUploadPath : $wgUploadPath,
'hashLevels' => $wgHashedUploadDirectory ? 2 : 0,
'thumbScriptUrl' => $wgThumbnailScriptPath,
'transformVia404' => !$wgGenerateThumbnailOnParse,
'deletedDir' => $wgDeletedDirectory,
'deletedHashLevels' => 3,
'backend' => 'local-backend',
);
This now produces the error Could not create directory "mwstore://local-backend/local-public".. I have already tried a lot of things found in other posts. I have tried chmodding and chownning the /images directory, but that does not work. What other fixes are there for this?
