Cant upload pictures..

[04f]

I cant upload pictures and i dont know why. I installed pixelpost a couple of times without any problems but now im on another host and it doesnt work anymore...

I made the folders "images" and "tumbnails" (777) and i did run the install.php file. I also changed the pixelpost.php file...

Anyone who can help me out please?

Below some information:

You must set correct permissions on this folder or you will not be able to create any thumbnails.
Set the folder to chmod 777 (read, write and execute permissions for owner, group and world).

this looks like a paths problem. try changing your configured image path to ../images/


make sure you have the preluding .. and the / at the end.

Windows or Linux server?
Check to make sure that the images and thumbnails folders are actually CHMODed 777.

/var/www/html/~out4fame/files/pixelpost/images/

That was like this, so it should be right?

i think its a Linux server. I also checked again with my FTP program, both folders are chomded 777...

[tinyblob]

assuming that /var/www/html/~out4fame/files/pixelpost/ is your pixelpost directory, then yep, should be fine.
but the information that you pasted from General Info suggests that none of the pixelpost files are located there. are you sure this is your correct path?

[04f]

Yeah, thats the thing i dont get its the correct path...

I also tried a brand new install, but that also didnt work

[Joe[y]]

well i can't think what else could be wrong. change the imagepath anyway just so we can rule that out completely!

[04f]

Ah damn! you where right, with ../images/ it works just fine! :D

ifeelsostupid:rolleyes:

Thanks for the (fast) help!!

Last question, why didnt the other path work? all the other times it worked fine...

[Joe[y]]

that's no problem! sometimes paths confuse themselves a bit!

i just noticed the difference between:

/var/www/html/~out4fame/files/pixelpost/images/20051206184035_ash090.jpg'

and

/home/out4fame/domains/out4fame.nl/public_html/files/pixelpost/admin/index.php

in one of those errors. perhaps if you had used the lower path it would have worked better but ../images/ should certainly do the job on linux.

[tinyblob]

relative paths often solve problems because the computer tends to be smarter than us :)

I have last version of pixelpost.
When I try to upload an image i got this kind of error:

Warning: move_uploaded_file(/images/20051207110338_img_evacuazione.gif): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /web/htdocs/www.effe-bi.net/home/photoblog/admin/index.php on line 419

I have directories chmoded 777.
In the admin panel's options i put /image/ in the images path.
and
http://www.effe-bi.net/photoblog/ in the URL

Paths for images:
http://www.effe-bi.net/photoblog/images
http://www.effe-bi.net/photoblog/thumbnails

Strangely the first image i put in is ok...

I don't know the php file where i could change this path: /web/htdocs/www.effe-bi.net/home/photoblog/admin/index.php
but eventually i can't find the problem at all
(same problem for copy_folder addons)

Pls help me using this wonderful photoblog, thank you!

[blinking8s]

put "../images/" not just "images" you have to have the ../ in front then the trailing slash too

although i am tired at the moment, and you links looked corrent...

muuuuuuuuuuuuust sleep *yawn*

[Effebi]

i have " /images/ " in the path not " images"

i can't figure out what: /web/htdocs/www.effe-bi.net... means.

web? htdocs?

[raminia]

../images/ in the path.

[Effebi]

works!
great!

Sorry ...it was just a ".." :P

Thank you all!

web? htdocs?

When you're working on a computer system, every file is stored in a certain location, and route to this location is called a path. For example, the path to Windows on most systems running it is:
C:\Windows

There are two different types of path, Absolute and Relative. Absolute paths are the full and final path. Relative paths are a description of the path as it relates to your current position on the system.

On linux based machines the beginning of an Absolute path always starts with a slash, that refers to the starting point (or Root) of the system. Each entry after that (in this case) refers to a directory. So..
/web/htdocs/www.effe-bi.net
is an Absolute path, which starts at the beginning of the system, and goes into a directory called web, then into one called htdocs, then into one called www.effe-bi.net, which is where you store the files for your website.

The problem with Absolute paths is that people often get them wrong. A Relative path allows the system to work out the path, from where it is at the time. This is effective because your system tends to have a better concept of itself than we do ;).

In Relative paths a .. refers to going back out of the directory it's currently in. So..
../images/
is a Relative path, which starts by going back out of the current directory, the into the images directory.

Hope that helps you understand the concept a little better, and i hope you enjoy your Pixelpost experience!

I think you are coping new files into images directory and then you try to use copy folder. But, you should copy new files to some other directory on your site and then try copy folder addon.

[04f]

Yeah i knew that so i created a other directory called "pictures" and then i used copy folder........

but he still copies the pictures multiple times :(

I didn't see such a behavior in copy folder.... did you search the forum?

[04f]

yeah i did, didnt find anything..

First copy folder shows me that it copyed 167 images and when its done i get the message you see below.... and when i go to images he has " 335 images at all in the database"

1) try using other copy folder addons as well
2) you may need to add touch() function for creating images/thumbnails. I'll try to get into it if I had some time but please try (1)

[nobleviola]

This worked for me as well - thanks for the timely tip!

but ../images/ will work just fine as well.

[iliton]

can i change Guessed imagepath?

photos are not loaded, can such be owing to wrong Guessed imagepath?

[tinyblob]

also try upgrading to 1.5beta1

no but you can change the configured imagepath which is what matters in your options!

Time for a FAQ?

[Connie]

eon,

the faq will be back
after release of 1.5 Final, we all think of a big overhaul of the whole pixelpost.org, new design, FAQ, organised download-section
all these things which always seem to have priority #2...

but after the release we will be glad to concentrate on the usability of this place here ;=)

[iliton]

With error message do you get?
And can you give us the information of General Info.

[Connie]

Iliton,

did you create the images-directory and the thumbnails-directory?
did you chmod them to 777?

It seems for me that these images don't exist!

[iliton]

Thanks all who has responded, the problem is solved,
it was incorrect subdomain settings in Debian Linux server.

Now it works nice.

[tinyblob]

Thanks for posting again. Nice to know it wasn't a Pixelpost bug, and glad to hear you've got it working!
