mediawiki

I am unable to upload files (images) to my mediawiki install. I think it may have something to do with it is being hosted as http secure(HTTPS). I followed carefully the instructions here.

I updated write permissions to the /images/ dir

drwxrwxrwx 2 apache apache 4096 Apr 13 19:04 images

php.ini

file_uploads = On

In LocalSettings.php

$wgEnableUploads = true;
$wgFileExtensions = array('png','jpg','jpeg','gif');

When I try to upload it quickly refreshes the page without any errors or any indication anything went wrong, other than how fast it refreshed. When I navigate to the history of uploads it is empty. How can I troubleshoot this. Is it related to the secure http?
