error messages

I just moved to a dedicated server from a shared server.

While I'm able to upload photos, when I try to upload an mp3, it gets to the first stage after uploading where it asks if I want to attach a picture.

I've chmoded everything 777 (uploads and data folders and all subfolders). I've even double and triple checked that.

I've also reverted the storage options and made sure the option to use multimedia was on and that the file extension was proper.

When I attach an image I get this:

Unable to move file [/tmp/phpiB5zEP] [/home/......./public_html/......./data/747/cars.jpg]

Then when I try submitting the file without it I get this:

There was an error uploading this photo. Please report to System Administrator.

Yet lo and behold, it shows the mp3 in the folder, and all of the folders and subfolders are 777.

Hello

I would check to ensure that under Admin => Global Options and Storage Options your urls and paths are all correct for the data and uploads directories and then double check permissions at every level on the server as well

Alright. I got the mp3's to show up. But now the videos won't. It just goes right back to the upload screen after its done, but without posting anything.

PHP max file upload is restricted to 2mb. If your trying to upload a file over 2mb then yes your server will drop that file and nothing will be uploaded. Your solution is to edit the php.ini or have your host do it and raise the max upload filesize. Now if you can not do that then you need to restrict the max filesize in the Admin => Edit Usergroups max filesize setting.

Actually before doing this I had changed the php.ini and saved. Forgot to mention that. The size of the file versus the size of the php.ini upload is more than enough. Thats why its confusing me as to why its not uploading properly. The mp3 uploads fine and even though the video extension is there, it doesnt upload fine.

Clearly the above meantioned error message your posting points to at the minimum permissions not being set correctly on the 747 directory

Sorry for sounding like a noob. But the 747 directory? I double checked and there is no directory with that number in either the uploads or data areas.

[Chuck S]

Well there is your problem. There should indeed be a directory 747 with a thumbs medium and mini subdirectories all set to 777 in your data directory.

I would suggest you check to see your host does not have safe mode on cause the directories should be created.

I double checked and Safe Mode is off.
