Uploads OK when I do them; not OK when users.

[ViperGTS2000]

When I upload a picture, it's fine. When a regular user uploads a picture, I get the following:

Warning: imagecreatefromjpeg(): '/home/sjones/public_html/eleanorclub/photo/uploads/144/DCP_0266.JPG' is not a valid JPEG file in /usr/home/sjones/public_html/eleanorclub/photo/image-inc.php on line 84

Unable to create image [/home/sjones/public_html/eleanorclub/photo/uploads/144/DCP_0266.JPG].

The site used to work just fine - I didn't change anything and haven't heard back from my ISP.

My data and upload DIRs are 777.

Is this an ownership issue?

I don't understand why an admin can upload and a user cannot.

Thanks!

Hi..

I believe this may be simply a corrupt file which is causing the error, look in /uploads/144/ and remove the offending .jpg file and ask the user to save the file again and re-upload.

It could be

However I would ensure you have the path to your data and uploads directories in your global settings to this

/usr/home/sjones/public_html/eleanorclub/photo/data

/usr/home/sjones/public_html/eleanorclub/photo/uploads


You appear to have left off the /usr

[ViperGTS2000]

OK - I went into the dir and erased all the files -- put /usr in front of everything (might by a symbolic link because i can cd /home and get there too).

It seems to be working now -- don't know what part of that fixed it.

Thanks!

PHP is reporting the path as

/usr/home not /home so best to always use what php shows for best results

[ViperGTS2000]

Awesome.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction so quickly.

No problem my friend thats what we are here for.

[ViperGTS2000]

What could cause a corrupt file like this? The error popped up again. I deleted the file in the directory.

Is there a way to be e-mailed when an error like this pops up instead of relying on the web visitor to notify me?

Is it the same user same files?

[ViperGTS2000]

Different files -- same user (she's uploading a ton of pics).

My site doesn't see alot of uploads though -- I wonder if she's the culprit?

It's never happened before and I have over 1000 images.

[Chuck S]

She could potentially have some corrupted images or she is trying to upload images that are not jpeg's and she is renaming them so she can upload them as in maybe they are gif's
