| Default value: | "{$IP}/images" (1.8+)"{$IP}/upload" (pre 1.1.0 - 1.7)(Note: The default value of this variable depends on other variables, such as the values set inSetup.php, afterLocalSettings.php is executed) |

The file system path of the folder where uploaded files will be stored.
If this variable is changed, you may need to update$wgUploadPath accordingly.
This location needs to be writable by the web server.SeeManual:Configuring file uploads#Check directory security.
By default, uploaded files are actually stored in subfolders of $wgUploadDirectory.SeeManual:Configuring file uploads#Upload directory for information, and how to disable this behavior.
LocalSettings.php then all dependent variables including$wgUploadPath will need redefining also. If both these settings are not coherent the files will be uploaded to different folder ($wgUploadDirectory) than from where MediaWiki will try to retrieve it for viewing ($wgUploadPath)!
