Forum:Getting Internal Error when trying to upload pics

I was trying to upload some pics to my wiki and i'm getting- "Internal error- The upload directory (public) is not writable by the webserver." What does this mean? and how can i start uploading again? Uncle Tyrone 05:44, January 13, 2010 (UTC)

I am getting the same issue, however i have images missing, the file is there but thats it. Have you had that issue also? Am using Firefox if that makes any difference.

 * In Need for Speed Wiki, when a new version of an image is uploaded, I sometimes get this error: Internal error - Could not rename file "public/5/56/[filename]" to "public/archive/5/56/20100113174602![filename]". Even after multiple attempts, the bug persists... az 17:49, January 13, 2010 (UTC)

Have noticed the disappearing and re-appearing images for some time now on Canine Diabetes Wiki. When they start to disappear, I'll quickly click to another wiki to see if the same thing's happening there and it is.

Did some image uploading today and that went without a hitch, but when I wanted to delete the images they were replacing, I kept getting internal errors while trying to do that. It took 3 tries to delete one of them. We hope 18:56, January 13, 2010 (UTC)

 * Please keep us posted. I am having a very similar error reported on my wiki. I am unable to upload any pictures (have not tried other file types yet). This is my exact error:
 * Internal error
 * The upload directory (public) is not writable by the webserver.

Note: The "Internal error - Could not rename file" bug seemed to have been fixed in Need for Speed Wiki. Thanks! az 18:50, January 14, 2010 (UTC)

Good news! My images have come back up and i can now upload images again! Yay! Thanks techs for fixing the bug :) Sheepy-Pie
