mediawiki 1.35 upgrade changed image links

Question

User1888206822 posted

All but 3 of my 26 images have links to non-existent folders inside my image folder. All the images "missing" are in the /wiki/image "root" but the links point to sub folders that don't exist.

Running 1.35.2 on IIS10, Windows 2019 Server Standard

PHP 7.4.19, MySQL 8.0.25

PHP extensions enabled: php_exif.dll, php_fileinfo,dll, php_intl.dll, php_mbstring.dll, php_mysqli.dll, php_openssl.dll

Upgrade sequence:

Copied new files on top of old files. Deleted old folders not in the 1.35.2 distribution

Ran update successfully. Connected to site but got an error page indicating my 1.27.4 localsetting.php wouldn't work. Deleted localsetting.php, re-entered all the correct information and wiki started.

Example:

HTTP Error 404.0 - Not Found

The resource you are looking for has been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.

So where do this process go wrong and is there a fix?

I was missing this line in my upgraded LocalSettings.php files:

## If you want to use image uploads under safe mode,
## create the directories images/archive, images/thumb and
## images/temp, and make them all writable. Then uncomment
## this, if it's not already uncommented:
$wgHashedUploadDirectory = false;
