How do you enable this feature? Where is it found?

In LocalSettings.php you'll see lines like these:

## To enable image uploads, make sure the 'images' directory
## is writable, then uncomment this:
#$wgDisableUploads = false;
$wgUseImageResize = true;
$wgUseImageMagick = true;
$wgImageMagickConvertCommand = "/sw/bin/convert";

Ensure that the 'images' subdirectory is writable by the web server.

I am receiving an error message:

Could not copy file "/var/tmp/phpzawcdM" to
"/Users/wiki/Sites/mediawiki/images/a/a8/Map_of_USA_highlighting_Wyoming.png
".

I did all of the above, however am still getting this message and cannot
upload.

My thanks in advance.

Can you confirm that the images directory is writable by the web server?

The simplest way to do this is to go in there in a terminal and run
'chmod a+w images'. (It looks like you're on a Mac; to do this in
Finder, open 'Get Info' on the images folder, open up the 'Ownership &
Permissions' and 'Details' bits and select "Read & Write" for 'Others'.)

Confirm also that PHP isn't configured in Safe Mode, as this tends to
cause similar problems.
