La solución a esto es modificar el fichero de base con una copia local:

    mkdir -p app/code/core/Mage/Cms/Model/Wysiwyg/Images/
    cp app/code/core/Mage/Cms/Model/Wysiwyg/Images/Storage.php app/code/local/Mage/Cms/Model/Wysiwyg/Images/Storage.php

        $subDirectories = Mage::getModel('core/file_storage_directory_database')->getSubdirectories($path);                        
                                                                                                                                     
        foreach ($subDirectories as $directory) {                                                                                    
            $fullPath = rtrim($path, DS) . DS . $directory['name'];                                                                  
            if (!file_exists($fullPath)) {                                                                                           
                mkdir($fullPath, 0777, true);                                                                                        
            }                                                                                                                        
        }                                                                                                                            

Entonces se verán así:

/*        $subDirectories = Mage::getModel('core/file_storage_directory_database')->getSubdirectories($path);                        
                                                                                                                                     
        foreach ($subDirectories as $directory) {                                                                                    
            $fullPath = rtrim($path, DS) . DS . $directory['name'];                                                                  
            if (!file_exists($fullPath)) {                                                                                           
                mkdir($fullPath, 0777, true);                                                                                        
            }                                                                                                                        
        }                                                                                                                            
 */  

Y luego queremos que se ejecute la siguiente consulta SQL

SET FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS=0;

SET SQL_MODE="NO_AUTO_VALUE_ON_ZERO";
