Help! Won't let me upload

catnipmercer · December 30th, 2004, 03:23 PM

As admin, I have unlimited uploads but when I try to upload I get this message:

Uploaded file not found
Typical reason is that the file exceeded allowed limits.

The file is a jpg.

BTW, I have the photoboard at:
http://www.purebredcatbreedrescue.or...post/index.php

I had no problems uploading until the last two days. You had installed the photoboard for me in April 2003 and it's integrated with vbulletin.

You have a link to php info? I would suspect your host has updated your php and uploads are not working and they need to tweak a few things on there end.

It turns out the host has changed the upload directory.. have to make a directory since we can't use /tmp anymore and there are some other changes they suggest as well. I wish I had the expertise to fix it myself, but I'll have to wait until I find someone who can or

who isn't on vacation for the holiday!

Yep you need to place a php.ini file in your web root with the following lines

NOTE YOU NEED TO CREATE A DIRECTORY IN YOUR WEBROOT SAY CALLED TMP AND PLACE THE SERVER PATH TO IT IN THIS FILE BELOW.

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

You would as stated place the proper path in this file call it php.ini and upload to your web root

Thank you! I think I can do that!

Still getting error message (doesn't matter which .jpg I try to upload):

M&M 001.JPG: Uploaded file not found
Typical reason is that the file exceeded allowed limits.

Despite the php.ini and /tmp..... I tried
;upload_tmp_dir = /www/c/catrescue/htdocs/tmp
and I tried
;upload_tmp_dir = /htdocs/tmp

Neither allows me to upload a picture.

Photopost is integrated with vbulletin. Is there something in vbulletin I should change?

remove the ; in front of the upload_tmp_dir line

catnipmercer · January 4th, 2005, 06:54 PM

well, I removed the leading ; on the upload_temp_dir line.. and it seemed to try to work.. but now I'm getting this error message:

Error creating thumbnail! Error code: 127

Command: /usr/local/bin/mogrify -format JPG -quality 80 -geometry 100x75 /www/c/catrescue/htdocs/photopost/data/542/1M_M_001-thumb.JPG

try switching in your admin options to use GD not IMagemagick for uploads.

catnipmercer · January 5th, 2005, 01:49 PM

I don't see anywhere in the photopost admin that it offers me an option of GD or Imagemagick.

Linda

Chuck S · January 5th, 2005, 06:49 PM

click on admin then click GLOBAL OPTIONS

catnipmercer · January 5th, 2005, 07:03 PM

I've emailed you a copy of the page that I get when I click Options.. I don't see "global options" at all. It's integrated with vbulletin.. is there somewhere in vbulletin I need to look?

Chuck S · January 5th, 2005, 07:25 PM

You did not tell me your using the oldest Photopost there is LOL

Try looking in your config settings.

catnipmercer · January 5th, 2005, 08:23 PM

Haven't updated either vbulletin or photopost as vbulletin had questions about compatibility and I can't afford to pay both vbulletin and you guys to buy and install the upgrades and get them working.. and my expertise in such regard is, as you can see, extremely limited.

So I change from this in config-inc.php file:
// GD2 support
// this will only work if you have GD2 or better installed
// 0 - use mogrify; 1 - use GD2; 2- use GD1
$usegd = 0;

So as I understand it I should change it to:
// GD2 support
// this will only work if you have GD2 or better installed
// 0 - use mogrify; 1 - use GD2; 2- use GD1
$usegd = 2;

I'll ask the host whether they have GD2 or GD1 installed.

They must have removed mogrify, too.. it used to work.

you can run a phpinfo file to see what gd version your running
