pixelpost image upload issues

[gustiferjones]

Hey there,
getting this issue when uploading a photo:


Warning: imagejpeg(): supplied argument is not a valid Image resource in /home/.delores/ariehsinger/ariehsinger.com/Pixelpost/includes/functions.php on line 92

Warning: chmod(): No such file or directory in /home/.delores/ariehsinger/ariehsinger.com/Pixelpost/includes/functions.php on line 94

I am using the dreamhost servers, and haven't had any issues setting up the SQL database for my gallery2. Comments and discriptions are uploaded, but the image doesn't go up. I have made all the permissions '777' and still no luck. Any help would be appreciated!

Cheers!

Checklist
Did you create a thumbnails folder?
Did you successfully CHMOD it to 777?
Did you create an images folder?
Did you successfully CHMOD it to 777?

If those are all yes, paste the text from your General Info page.

I have everything 777'd (used SSH), but the genral settings say I do not have these folders (which I know i do) - not sure what to do..

your paths are wrong
make them relative:
../images

[gustiferjones]

I dont really understand what that means...making them relative - I am not soo code/savvy...

[gustiferjones]

Got it figured out...thanks!

[tinyblob]

sorry i wasn't very descriptive, in the middle of something!

I give up - 3 days trying to get this to work. Got it working within 15 minutes when uploaded to my school site, but on dreamhost I've thrown in the towel and deleted.

Such a shame, I was looking forward to using pixelpost.

this is what general options spat back at me before the deletion.

[cariad]

Yes I did, I've been reading this forum and the dreamhost forum for 2 days. Tried everything - even changing to php5 and the errors remain.

I've just uploaded everything again, figured I give it another go, but same problems.

I'm currently In the middle of exchanging emails with a tech from dreamhost. If he comes up with a solution that works for me, I'll post back.

thanks.

[Joe[y]]

cariad: have you tried making your imagepath 'relative'?

ie, changing your configured imagepath to ../images/

?

[cariad]

Tried everything Joe, nothing worked. I didn't do anything different on this install than I did on the installation that actually worked - only difference was the one with errors is on dreamhost, and the one that worked first time was on cclhosting.

Dreamhost are still looking into it.

[Connie]

we had postings / problems with dreamhost, because of their security restrictions and I know that many people moved from that host to other hosts because of that

[cariad]

I can't see it being a security issue. I have a wordpress blog, Gallery software and setup a forum for my son all running on the same domain.

We'll see. I'm still waiting to hear back from them.

[cariad]

From dreamhost tech:

On the 'Options' page for IMAGES PATH, there was a space in front of
/home/timacoly/timacoly.com/images/ path. I removed the space and
General Info does not yell anymore.

Although on the info I pasted ealier yesterday, I don't see an unwanted space. That one fluff up caused all the other errors?

I'm up and running :)

Thanks.
