How does MediaWiki calculate file path?

I just install MediaWiki (love it). I look this one for adding images. I can use logic

[[File: MediaWiki: 50px Sample Image]]

but where do I set the path to the file "File" (nothing is visible in LocalSettings.php) ... or is there some other logic in the work?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

The file location is determined by $ wgLocalFileRepo , which by default depends on $ wgUploadDirectory and $ wgHashedUploadDirectory . The default download directory is [MediaWiki base dir]/images (Adrian must use an older version). If hashing is enabled , /x/xy will be added to the path, where xy is the first two letters of the md5 hash of the file name.

Default from DefaultSettings.php:

$ wgUploadPath = "$ wgScriptPath / uploads";
$ wgUploadDirectory = "$ IP / uploads";

If you want to change this, you must copy and paste it into LocalSettings.php

And make sure $wgEnableUploads = true; also located in LocalSettings.php.

"Sample Image" is the name of the image, not the name of the file. In the configuration file, you can simply set the root folder for downloading images.

Just for future reference, if anyone else comes across this problem:

I installed MediaWiki on my Mac OS Sierra, and when I tried to download the image, I received the following message:

 Failed: Could not open lock file for "mwstore://local-backend/local-public/d/d9/babypicture.png".

I changed the permissions in the mediawiki_root / images folder that will belong to the user and the _www group.

 chown -R _www:_www wiki/images

I was able to upload the image later.
