Getting Errors doing mass upload

[Johnny Doomo]

When I upload a bunch of files to my upload directory and try to get photopost to process it it gives these errors after clicking the submit button:

Warning: copy(/home/ggadmin/public_html/gallery/uploads/1/01_064035.jpg): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/ggadmin/public_html/gallery/bulkupload.php on line 140

Problem running command: "/usr/bin/jpegtran" -copy none /home/ggadmin/public_html/gallery/data/2106/101_064035.jpg

Error Code: 1



I see the line "Problem running command: "/usr/bin/jpegtran""

Does this mean that it is likely pointing to the wrong location in my Admin CP? I ran locate on my server and it appears to be pointing to the right place in the AdminCP.

Please help.

You might have an outdated version of pegtran - do you know the version you have? Is /usr/bin/jpegtran the proper path?

[Johnny Doomo]

I talked to my host and they say that the latest version for Red Hat was installed. I did recently move servers. Could it be a problem with CHMOD or something? I CHMODed all the directories in the data directory and the uploads directory.

What else could be the problem?

[Chuck S]

I would ask them what they say the path to jpegtran is as your install does not find it at

/usr/bin/jpegtran

another normal place would be

/usr/local/bin/jpegtran

or

/usr/X11R6/bin/jpegtran


You can also remove the line for jpegtran on your options and you should be fine if you dont have it installed

[Johnny Doomo]

I will check those things you mentioned. What does jpegtran do anyways so i know if it's something I need/want/use.

Thanks.

[Chuck S]

Well it strips the bad header info for instance of files with the adobe/IE Bug

[Johnny Doomo]

So what would happen if I didn't use it? Would I have problems if I upload the type of images that needed it?

Also I changed the location of jpegtran from /usr/bin/jpegtran to /usr/local/bin/jpegtran and I started getting this error:

I don't know if that is working in the right direction of getting it working or not?

But still the question I have is what happens I don't have the jpegtran and if I upload a photo that needs the jpegtran. What will happen? Will it error out or what? I don't want to do a quick fix if it's going to cause me more problems in the future.

Can you explain what exactly is the jpegtran needed for anyways? I think I remember reading it somewhere but now I can't find it. Something about the newer photoshops or something I thought?

[Michael P]

There is an IE bug that Microsoft has so far refused to fix which when IE tries to display a file saved in Adobe Photoshop that hasn't had the Adobe-specific meta tags removed, IE hangs. This isn't very common, but we had some Mac folks who needed jpegtran as a way to ensure that this info was stripped.

Since you are using watermarks, its trying to execute composite (an IM component); which doesnt appear to be installed.

Haven't you been having big issues with IM ever since you moved servers? Maybe you should consider an installation service to get it resolved once and for all.

[Johnny Doomo]

I had my host do it and they claim the installation was done properly because it makes the thumbnails. I got the watermarks working too after their installation. So single image uploads now work fine. It's that for me I mostly use the mass upload feature and it doesn't give this error when you upload a single file from the field in the upload page.

So why does it seem to work on single files, but then when you have it look at the upload folder for your list of files to upload it gives that error?

I don't understand that.

I have yet to see you say you have actually verified the path to jpegtran or composite here in this thread.

[Johnny Doomo]

Finally. OK I chmoded both the upload and the 1 folder in it to 777. It started working, but is that too much permission? Does the upload folder even need to be chmodded and either or not it's both, does it need to be 777?

That was a strange error to give when jpegtran was installed properly the whole time.... or at least my host claimed it was and after chmodding those things it did start working.

Thanks for all the help you guys have imparted on my behalf. May I make a suggestion. It would be great if you guys offered a moved server guide that instructs users on everything they need to do and recheck after moving servers. From all the chmodding I went through to the more noobish thing of making sure the paths to mogrify, etc. are set correct. You could even include the lines of running locate on your server.

Just a thought. Thanks Again!

[Chuck S]

Per the Photopost installation directions yes all uploads and data directory folders and the y themselves need to be set to 777
