Unable to read format on Windows Server

[dstov]

I just installed Photopost on a Windows 2003 server and I get the following error:

Unable to read the format of file: E:webphotomanhtdocsphotopost/data/500/abstract_monitor_2.jpg

I have tried in my admin panel and in config-inc.php the following settings for the path:

E:/web/photoman/htdocs/photopost/

E:\web\photoman\htdocs\photopost\

Thanks for any help that can be given.

forgot the rest of the error:

Anyone?

[dstov]

This is the initial error:

Unable to read the format of file: E:webphotomanhtdocsphotopost/data/501/abstract-monitor.jpg

Okay for one the path needs to be using / instead of \

E:/web/photoman/htdocs/photopost

Then in windows you need to set your directory permissions. The errors tell me your directory permissions are not 777 equivelent

Thus the file can not be read or stat'd

[dstov]

Yes, as stated above, I have tried it with the path as E:/web/photoman/htdocs/photopost and it is not working. I have the review software installed and working correctly. The directory permissions are correct as well as it is set to IIS_USER Read and Write.

[Chuck S]

This through tells me permissions are not set correctly. Url to install?

Does this not tell you that it can not find the directory E:webphotomanhtdocsphotopost/data/500/ before it tells you that it can not write to the correct directory?

From what I am reading, it can not write to the directory because it can not find it rather than it having the wrong permissions. I think if I can get the program reading from the correct directory, then it will work properly.

By default, all directories on our site are Read/Write. Our webhost has checked them as well.

The program is setup exactly the same way as ReviewPost other than the directory that it writes to.

Should I hard code the path into uploadphoto.php and image-inc.php?

[Chuck S]

No if you have the correct path it will work.

What is your data directory set to in global options??

E:/web/photoman/htdocs/photopost/data/

cause if its this above it has to be permissions as your telling me its this and is correct

[dstov]

Yes, that is what my directory is set to, but if you look at the error message, you will see that the program is not parsing the directory correctly. It thinks it needs to go to:

E:webphotomanhtdocsphotopost/data/

"PHP Warning: copy(E:webphotomanhtdocsphotopost/data/500/abstract-monitor.jpg): failed to open stream"

This shows that the program is trying to go to a directory that does not exist in the first place so it has no clue if the directory permissions are correct or not. It never reaches the correct directory in the first place because the program is not parsing the directory correctly.

Thanks for your help.

[Chuck S]

I would suggest you send me a url and login to look at things there is nothing more I can post on this issue without seeing what you have going on

[Chuck S]

Okay in your admin section storage options you had the paths set with no slashes.

[dstov]

What area was this set in? Under Global Options or ?

[Chuck S]

In Admin section ==> Storage Options
