A few things I can think of that you can check:
1) Make sure all the relevant paths (../public and /srv/www/htdocs/temp_upload
in particular) exist and have the proper permissions. Test this by changing
to whatever user Apache uses (ex.: "su apache") and make sure you can write
to those directories.
2) Check free drive space ("du -h"). Obviously if a partition has no free
space there could be issues.
3) Check the Apache error log for any warnings or error messages. Set PHP
to log all warnings/notices temporarily ("error_reporting(E_ALL);").
4) Create a bare-bones PHP file for uploading a file to see if the issue is
just MediaWiki or the server in general.
If this doesn't reveal the upload issue it should at least narrow it down
further for you.
