Did that... still not working... it goes to a blank page instantly

Try also clearing all directories under your uploads directory.

StanJensen · April 8th, 2008, 07:34 PM

is that in the control panel? or something that i need to ftp into?

The first and last suggestions are both something you would ftp to your site and do in the photopost directory. You will see the uploads directory in the photopost directory simply clear all directories beneath uploads.

ok deleted every file/folder in there, and yes, they were ones people had uploaded and were not able to see..

I reuploaded on of mine that was rejected and got this error message

"There was a problem looking up this post in our database."

This is correct right?

Quote:

error_reporting (E_ALL ^ E_NOTICE);
ini_set("memory_limit", "48M");
ini_set("max_execution_time", 0);
if ( VB3_INTEGRATION == "off" )

// Let's work from one variable

Chuck S · April 9th, 2008, 01:28 PM

Yes that looks correct

As far as this

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

what are you doing as that does not look like a photopost message?

StanJensen · April 10th, 2008, 03:25 PM

That was a message at that time, I have not been able to duplicate it. I was in photopost, I believe it is tied in with my forum database.

I still am not able to upload any photos...

There must be a switch I have not switched or something.....

what do to mean you cant upload? you still get a white page have you cleared your uploads directory. added the lines noted. Do small files upload?

StanJensen · April 10th, 2008, 04:13 PM

Small one worked fine...

I did get the white page for larger files...

The large one was 1.8 MB 2112 x 2816

Have you tried seeing if you have imagemagick on the server?

Common issue with GD2 you can also try limiting filesizes in admin edit usergroups to see if that helps.

StanJensen · April 10th, 2008, 04:52 PM

the server is a VPN, if it is not there I should be able to put it there. Where would it go? (just hoping you might know)

StanJensen · April 10th, 2008, 04:54 PM

All the settings in the groups are at 0, which i think is unlimited? Correct?

Chuck S · April 10th, 2008, 05:12 PM

If you have control on the server to install programs via the ssh then you can install imagemagick based on these instructions. Some vpns actually have imagemagick as a program you can install from your web control panel

Yes 0 is unlimited so if you test and see what sizes your gd can handle and can not you can limit users to upload ads to a certain size so they dont get the white page

I have the same issue and believe that it might be related to the file size? I get the internal 500 thing and cannot process hundreds of pictures that I just took :-(

Chuck S · August 3rd, 2008, 07:35 PM

Yes you can not process most likely hundreds of files using GD2 since it is part of PHP. you can do things like tweak PHP with the line above to give more memory to PHP and set filesize limits in edit usergroups among other things. If you have Imagemagick on the server I suggest using that.

Chuck,
I don't control the server, therefore, I won't be tweaking the *.ini files or anything else on the server. I tried using imagemagic and I get an error which makes me believe it's not there or the path is different. Also, we're not talking about hundreds of files..... we're talking about 75 files that are all approx 2 meg each. To boot, they are all muscle cars and hooters girls.... so help me out

Chuck S · August 4th, 2008, 09:09 AM

they can not be more than 2 mb or they are dropped and there is not much more I can do for you but to suggest the tweak above. try doing 10 at a time see if that helps
