The relative path to the upload directory. This is used to construct the URLs for viewing uploaded files.
In most cases this is just the path component, such as "/w/images". If uploaded files are served from a different domain, this can be a fully-qualified URL with hostname, such as "http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en".
If the variable contains a local path (without "http://") then it must start with a slash, otherwise it will result in a bad URL. (For example if you set it to "foldername" it will result in files being loaded from "http://www.example.comfoldername" - note the missing slash after ".com")
$wgEnableUploadsis
falseby default. Also remember to set directory permissions.
To enable permission checks on image files, $wgUploadPath can be pointed to the img_auth.php script ($wgUploadPath = "$wgScriptPath/img_auth.php";) - see Manual:Image authorization for instructions.
There are other variables which are defined relative to this one. If you redefine this in your
LocalSettings.php
then all dependent variables including
$wgUploadDirectorywill need redefining also. If both these settings are not coherent the files will be uploaded to a different folder (
$wgUploadDirectory
) than from where MediaWiki will try to retrieve them for viewing (
$wgUploadPath
)!
