General Info gives this

But the installer when finished said that it could get to the images and thumbs directories succssfully.

My host is network solutions

Shaine,

Error on upload is now
Warning: move_uploaded_file(http://www.shaines.net/photoblog/images/20050614214705_sponge.jpg): failed to open stream: HTTP wrapper does not support writeable connections. in /data/2/0/129/64/129553/user/131225/htdocs/photoblog/admin/index.php on line 417
HTTP wrapper does not support writeable connections.

there is a so-called "wrapper" active at your server which denies the steps the script must do to create and copy image files

search this forum for "wrapper" and talk with your hoster how to solve this problem! (As I must run to work, I have no time to look for it just now) :cry:

[ZachMatthews]

I am having the exact same problem with the same outfit, Network Solutions. Shaines did you ever solve it, and if so, how?

[ZachMatthews]

This is my stuff:

PHP-version 4.3.10 (Pixelpost's min requirement: PHP version 4.3.0)
MySQL version 3.23.58-log (Pixelpost's min requirement: MySQL 3.23.58)

GD-lib 2.0 or higher

Server software Apache/1.3.29 (Unix) FrontPage/5.0.2.2634 ApacheJServ/1.1.2 mod_auth_pam/1.1.1

EXIF Pixelpost is using exifer v1.5 for EXIF information.


Again, network solutions. Grrrrr.

[ZachMatthews]

Just to clarify I haven't gotten to the wrapper issue yet; I can't set up my blog. Neither has shaines, apparently. Has anyone else encountered Network Solutions' file structure, and if so, what is the correct setup?

Thanks,
Zach

[ZachMatthews]

This was harder than it looked but a Network Solutions dude named Anthony was spot on. Since the admin.php command resides in the same folder as the rest of the pixelpost program, all you have to do is drop a ../ in there to tell it to go a directory higher and then start back down the tree.

So, just use ../images/

See:

Guessed imagepath: /usr/services/vux/apache/htdocs/~147971.149790//cgi-binimages/
Configured Imagepath ../images/

Image Directory: OK - Can we write to the directory? YES.

Thumbnails Directory: OK - Can we write to the directory? YES.

Language Directory: OK

Addons Directory: OK

Includes Directory: OK

Templates Directory: OK

[shaines]

That worked for me also.

I am adding the post again with a subject so that others that use Network Solutions can fix their problems too.

Use an images path of ../images/

[raminia]

yes it works but if somebody who is writing an addon wants to access the image path he/she would have problems with this setting.

anyway it's quite ok. I'll consider this.

Hi there,

Just had the same problem... but luckily I used Search first rather than make a new topic about it :wink:

I thought I would add that for anyone looking as to where to fix this, to do the following:

. Go into Admin
. Go to OPTIONS
. Under the section IMAGES PATH in the GENERAL area
... Add: ../images/ in the field
. Click Update beside and you should be good to go!

I hope this makes things easier for anyone with the same problem!
