Having problems uploading photos. Please help.

[sberemski]

When I try and upload an image I get this error:

Warning: move_uploaded_file(/home/vortex/public_html/~stanisl/images/20060203140642_cimg3842.jpg): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/stanisl/public_html/admin/index.php on line 418

Warning: move_uploaded_file(): Unable to move '/tmp/phpJrcszl' to '/home/vortex/public_html/~stanisl/images/20060203140642_cimg3842.jpg' in /home/stanisl/public_html/admin/index.php on line 418

Error
Upload went without error.


I have created an images and thumbnails folder with permissions 777.

Any idea what is going wrong?

not any, but many ideas... because this is not so special

you could do a search for the error messages here in the forum and you will see that you are not the only one with problems like that.
But in 99,9% help is at hand

did you create these directories?
did you set the correct permissions?
what are the informations in the admin/general info section?

Thanks for the reply,

This is what is says it the general info:

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Host Information
PHP-version 4.3.10 (Pixelpost's min requirement: PHP version 4.3.0)
MySQL version 4.0.25-standard (Pixelpost's min requirement: MySQL 3.23.58)

Paths
Guessed imagepath: /home/stanisl/public_html/images/
Configured Imagepath /home/vortex/public_html/~stanisl/images/

Image Directory: Does Not Exist (should be /home/vortex/public_html/~stanisl/images) - Thumbnails folder not writable!
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).

Thumbnails Directory: Does Not Exist (should be /home/vortex/public_html/~stanisl/thumbnails) -

Language Directory: Does Not Exist (should be /home/vortex/public_html/~stanisl/language)

Addons Directory: Does Not Exist (should be /home/vortex/public_html/~stanisl/addons)

Includes Directory: Does Not Exist (should be /home/vortex/public_html/~stanisl/includes)

Templates Directory: Does Not Exist (should be /home/vortex/public_html/~stanisl/templates)
----------------------------------------------------------------------

In Options under 'images path' what should I enter?

I have created the folders 'images' and 'thumbnails' as required and they do have the permissions set to 777.

[Connie]

enter

../images/

as the image path and try again

good luck!
