Title:
  Uploading new image as skin background gives error

Status in Mahara:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  Hello

  I was testing in preparation for an upgrade from v 17.04 to 18.04 and
  found that I couldn't upload a new image as a background to a skin.
  I've tried on demo.mahara.org and this is what I've found:

  I created a new skin.  Went into the Background tab and clicked on Add
  a File.  Moving between folders brings me back to the Background tab;
  I would expect it to list the files in the selected folder.   This
  happens even if there are image files in the selected folder.

  Clicking on Add a File again then shows the list of files and I can
  then select an image file and close the dialog box.   I am taken back
  to the Background tab and the image file is displayed.

  Clicking on Save at that point gives:

  Mahara Demo: Site unavailable
  A nonrecoverable error occurred. This probably means you have encountered a bug in the system 

  Suspect there's an explanation for this.  If I first upload an image
  file (256x256, PNG, 34k) into my Content-Files area, I can go through
  the above process select the image file and it saves OK.  The image
  files I had tried previously on the demo site was percy.png which is a
  profile image, 11k, PNG, 100x100 but this error has occurred
  consistently on our dev site regardless of the image selected.

  Not sure of db on demo.mahara.org; I think our dev site has MySQL
