Different filenames?

The subfolder is the first two hexadecimal digits of the MD5 hash of the
filename.

Brion? I have no idea what that means:)

$wgUploadPath = "$wgScriptPath/images/5/51";
$wgUploadDirectory = "$IP/images/5/51";
$wgLogo = "$wgUploadPath/wiki.png";
$wgStockPath = $wgUploadPath;

Is what I set. Is that incorrect?

Well, you asked. :)

Normally you should have this:

$wgUploadPath = "$wgScriptPath/images";
$wgUploadDirectory = "$IP/images";
$wgLogo = "$wgUploadPath/wiki.png";
$wgStockPath = $wgUploadPath;

The additional subdirectories (such as 5/51 or d/d8) are added after the
main path by the wiki, and is different for each file that is uploaded.
If you put "5/51" directly into the defined path, it's going to try to
put Wyoming.png in images/5/51/5/51 and other things in eg images/5/51/d/d8.

The images directory has to be writable by the web server (something
like 'chmod a+w images' may be necessary) but if it's not you should be
seeing error messages and it shouldn't be logging successful uploads.
