When uploading..."Security Error"

joinphotography · January 25th, 2012, 08:30 PM

Just installed the bulletin plug-in if that matters...

Prior to this - I would upload a file, get no errors and it wouldn't show up.

Now, when I upload a file I get a red box that says "Security Error" that disappears after a few seconds.

Any ideas?

Another person was getting this error...

Unable to read the format of file: /var/www/vhosts/joinphotography.com/httpdocs/photopost/data/500/medium/0391316377784.jpg

check that the path is correct and that the data folder and all folders beneath it are 777 permissions and if your using the flash uploader try turning it off and use the regular upload.

You can post a url and test login here.

Flash was on - turned it off
Data and all folders below it ... 777

Which "path" are you referring to?

Chuck S · January 25th, 2012, 09:32 PM

/var/www/vhosts/joinphotography.com/httpdocs/photopost/data

Is that path correct is what I mean.

joinphotography · January 25th, 2012, 09:32 PM

What should the permissions be for the other folders?

Under "Photopost"

For this?

"Full SERVER PATH to PhotoPost data directory"

yes double check your server path in phpinfo make sure its correct. sometimes hosts do change server paths.

Your can not read file is usually a path permissions error.

OKay...this is weird.

When I edit settings, then click save, I get a blank page in the middle and only see the links on the left. When I click "Edit Settings" again, it didn't save any of the changes...

Figured this out because Flash Uploads was set back to "Yes".

You probally do not have permissions set right depending on what your trying to edit but then again hard for me to say with such limited information that you have provided here.

What information you have posted is all about permissions. You can place a url and test login for us to check it out.

Not sure what you mean by place a url and test login...

URL to the site is joinphotography.com/photopost

What permissions would effect your ability to not save changes to the "upload settings" section in the admin area?

Chuck S · January 26th, 2012, 09:20 PM

well I mean a url and a test user login so we can try uploading etc see what is going on.

Flash uploader is "on"...I know you said to turn it off. But when I do, I'm unable to save the changes to that page. When I click save, it just loads a blank page. When I refresh, none of the changes have been saved.

This probably needs to be fixed first...

Chuck S · January 27th, 2012, 07:07 AM

security error means the flash uploader is not compatible with your server thats the error you get its coming from the server you must turn it off. Then try uploading a smaller file what happens?

joinphotography · January 27th, 2012, 09:47 AM

The file I was trying to upload was 200-300k.

I can't turn it off because of the other issue I mentioned. When I go into the upload settings and make the change, then click "save", it loads a blank white page with just the links on the left. When you re-load the page, it switches back to all the old settings...basically not saving your changes.

Any ideas on that?

Chuck S · January 27th, 2012, 09:53 AM

You can send site ftp url admin login info for us to look at how you have things installed.

joinphotography · January 30th, 2012, 10:58 PM

Okay...now the issue has come full circle. I don't get the security error anymore.
BUT I'm back to the original issue. I upload a file, get a "success" message and then you go back to the main screen and you don't see the photo and it says 0 photos and 0.0 Mb.

joinphotography · January 30th, 2012, 11:02 PM

Turned Flash uploaded off...

Now I get this error on the top of the screen...
Warning: move_uploaded_file([path]/photopost/uploads/1/printer.jpg) [function.move-uploaded-file]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in [path]/photopost/image-inc.php on line 56

Warning: move_uploaded_file() [function.move-uploaded-file]: Unable to move '/tmp/php1XLqLb' to '[path]/photopost/uploads/1/printer.jpg' in [path]/photopost/image-inc.php on line 56

And this error in the middle of the screen
Unable to move file [/tmp/php1XLqLb] -> [/var/www/vhosts/joinphotography.com/httpdocs/photopost/uploads/1/printer.jpg]

As I stated in my initial reply this is either a path or permissions issue. We seem to be getting nowhere on this issue here.

If the path is correct check that the uploads and data folders as well as any folders beneath them at every level are 777 permissions. Safe mode must also be off in php as noted in our requirements to run the application.

You can send us information like url admin login ftp info through the contact us link in our header.
