Watermark Error

[bplinson]

I get the following error when uploading a photo in my new install on http://nitro-rider.com/photopost .

I am running PP 5.62

Watermark option settings:

Yes
Southwest
/xxxxxx/xxxxxxx/xxxxxxx/nitro-rider.com/photopost/watermark/nitro-watermark.png

The watermark I am attempting to use is attached.

Your server has open_basedir set therefore all files must be in the same server path. where is this watermark located?

[bplinson]

It is in nitro-rider.com/photopost/watermark

[Chuck S]

Make sure your using the correct server path not a url

[bplinson]

I am using a server path, not a url

[bplinson]

Could this be the problem?

is not within the allowed path(s): (/xxxxx/xxxxxx/xxxxxxx/nitro-rider.com/httpdocs:/tmp

What is the :/tmp?

[Chuck S]

You would need to ask your host this question. You can post a link to phpinfo here but the error your posting is because whatever path your using is not within the set path restricted by your host so it is not allowed. Your best bet is to place the watermark in your data directory and change your path to there

[bplinson]

I am running my own server. The watermarks work fine on xlforum.net and v2-forum.com which are on the same server. It does not make sense that the open_basedir setting would affect the nitro-rider.com domain.

[bplinson]

Fixed!!! My mistake. I was missing one directory in my server path.

always something easy

Hi there i have done something wrong with watermark setup. i uploaded a photo(.png) to photobucket wesite and tried to copy the link. But unfortunaltly i copied a HTML link and paste it to watermark link path and saved it..now i cant change anything. and its showing some weird link..

the link i pasted in watermark path area was
<a href="http://s612.photobucket.com/albums/tt207/bayezid_f1/?action=view&current=cartunerlogo.png" target="_blank"><img src="http://i612.photobucket.com/albums/tt207/bayezid_f1/cartunerlogo.png" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>

i tried to put sever direct server path for watermark but its not changing.. may be for some weird html code interact the programe.

can you please help me out from this problem. thanx

You cant save html in mysql and then try and show it in an html page without escaping it first.

Your only option is to actually update the actual setting in your database settings table for photopost through like phpmyadmin like so

UPDATE pp_settings SET setting='' WHERE id=90;

thank you for your reply. i am sorry that i am new at this would you please give me more details that how i can resolve this error? thanx

Well the way to resolve that error is to view your database through your sites control panel and issue an sql query to update that setting. Do you know about your sites control panel usually cpanel?

yes i do have cpanel..so what i need to do next?

You would go into cpanel go to mysql click on phpmyadmin and view the photopost database. You can then hit the sql tab and enter the query I posted above.
