After upgrading my version of MediaWiki, my images directory was somehow
corrupted. I tried replacing the files from backup, but that didn't work
for some reason. (Sorry, this was a while ago.)

I re-uploaded all my files, but now the links in my wiki pages don't point
to the same paths in my upload directory. How can I fix this? Do I have to
run md5sum on all my files, and update the md5 in the database?

Thanks,
David

You need to be more specific. Where _are_ your files? What _are_ the
paths in the links? How do they differ?

For example, on the "Image List" special page:

http://www.cs.wm.edu/%7Ecoppit/wiki/images/b/be/issta_2004_bounded_exhaustive_testing.pdf

And it's there in the filesystem as it should be. The source for the wiki
page has:

Media:issta_2004_bounded_exhaustive_testing.pdf

But this turns into:

http://www.cs.wm.edu/%7Ecoppit/wiki/images/2/2d/Issta_2004_bounded_exhaustive_testing.pdf

in the wiki HTML.

Something seems out of sync.

Did your wiki previously use the nonstandard option:
$wgCapitalLinks = false;

If it did not, I'm not sure how you would have ever gotten lowercase
letters in there using the wiki.

Ah, thanks! I had forgotten that setting when I upgraded, and didn't
notice the change in case. I updated the wiki pages and all is well
again.
