Problems with new installation uploads

[beermkr]

I have installed PhotoPost on our webservers and it runs great with the following exception:

When I go to upload a photo it looks like it is working but no photo is uploaded. I do not get the proccessing screen or the thumbnail screen. The page flashes and brings me right back to the file selection screen.

I am hosted at easycgi.com and am running on Windows 2000 with PHP 4.3.1 and mySQL 4.0.23-nt

I have searched the forums to try to find the cause and have been unsuccessful.

I have checked the usergroups, created a new usergroup with permissions, created new user both admin and not to no avail.

The link to the site is:

http://www.virginiaxriders.com/photopost/

HELP please...

That to me sounds like file uploads are off if it goes right back to the file upload page doing nothing

Do you have link to php info?

[beermkr]

Checked and file uploads is turned on.

Make sure to post a link to your php info that we can see. a phpinfo.php file contents is simple this so you can make one yourself

<?phpinfo();?>

Your install sure acts like fileuploads are off. It process's nothing and does not even go to the bulkupload script

HMM only other thing off the top of my head in your php.conf or apache configuration what is the variable LimitBodyRequest set to?

[beermkr]

[Chuck S]

you host. Let me go put together a simple upload script and post it here for you to try and see what happens

[beermkr]

Any status ?

[Chuck S]

Nothing fancy here just rename the file to testuploads.php and fix in the file the path you want to upload to and the url to the script

This is what I get when I tried to run it..

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in c:\websites\virginiaxriders401\virginiaxriders.com\testuploads.php on line 11

This is what I have typed in the file:

<form action="http://www.virginiaxriders.com/testuploads.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<p>Pictures:
<input type="file" name="pictures[]" />
<input type="file" name="pictures[]" />
<input type="file" name="pictures[]" />
<input type="submit" value="Send" />
</p>
</form>

<?php
foreach ($_FILES["pictures"]["error"] as $key => $error) {
if ($error == UPLOAD_ERR_OK) {
$tmp_name = $_FILES["pictures"]["tmp_name"][$key];
$name = $_FILES["pictures"]["name"][$key];
move_uploaded_file($tmp_name, "/test/$name");
}
}
?>

Any help would be great... sorry I am a little PHP challenged so far..

I would ensure your path to save it is right for one.

/test is definately wrong

I would make sure test exists under your webroot with the proper permissions to move files to. Your on a windows server so you need permissions set to 777

the path would be like this

c:\websites\virginiaxriders401\virginiaxriders.com\test

however since you have photopost install and you state permissions are set right why not make your path this

c:\websites\virginiaxriders401\virginiaxriders.com\photopost\data

so that line would be

move_uploaded_file($tmp_name, "
c:/websites/virginiaxriders401/virginiaxriders.com/photopost/data/$name");

[beermkr]

That works... It uploaded the files to the data directory...

What next?

[Chuck S]

Recheck your install make sure all permissions are in place for both data and uploads directories.
