Hi All

Does your site URL have two trailing // ?

Does it currently look like this: http://www.pjl-construction.co.uk/pixelpost_v1.7.1//

If so, remove one of the backslahes so it looks like this: http://www.pjl-construction.co.uk/pixelpost_v1.7.1/


Also, are you upload .jpg/.jpeg files or something else?

thanks for your help

my general info now shows this:

Paths
Guessed imagepath: /home/pjlconstruk/public_html//pixelpost_v1.7.1/images/

Configured Imagepath: ../images/

Guessed thumbnailpath /home/pjlconstruk/public_html//pixelpost_v1.7.1/thumbnails/

Configured Thumbnailpath ../thumbnails/

Image Directory: OK - Can we write to the directory? YES. Current CHMOD: 0777

Thumbnails Directory: OK - Can we write to the directory? YES. Current CHMOD: 0777

Language Directory: OK

Addons Directory: OK

Includes Directory: OK

Templates Directory: OK

and in the OPTIONS tab i have this:

url: http://www.pjl-construction.co.uk/pixelpost_v1.7.1
image path: ../thumbnails/
thumbnail path: ../images/

but i still get the same error.

i dont know if this will help but looking in from the root of the webspace i have these folders:

cgi-bin - default installation
images - the images for the main site
pixelpost_v1.7.1 - as installed
templates - dw template
services - a sub folder for html

thanks for your time and help on this.

move all files and folders in the folder pixelpost_v1.7.1 to the root.

[austriaka+]

Dennis, he is writing "images - the images for the main site" so he should better NOT move the pixelpost files into the root directory, it could be that the images folder for the main site will be overwritten then by the empty images folder of pixelpost.

newtothis, please try to rename the pixelpost folder "pixelpost_v1.7.1" to something without dots, just "pixelpost" for example. Change the blog URL in admin options too, check the changes in Admin Info and try again

if there is still no success on uploading photos (same red error message?) please try the following:
open your admin/index.php in a normal text editor and change the line 42
error_reporting(0);
to
error_reporting(E_ALL);

Upload it to your server and try to upload a photo via Admin interface again.
Now there should be shown a bunch of error warnings and notices and (I hope) a bold error message too.
Please post it here!

In addition to following austriaka's request to change index.php so that the errors/warnings show, you need to recheck your paths - you have a double slash after public_html - you only need a single slash. Both guessed paths should look like this:

Guessed imagepath: /home/pjlconstruk/public_html/pixelpost/images/

Guessed thumbnailpath /home/pjlconstruk/public_html/pixelpost/thumbnails/

[austriaka+]

I didn't bother too much about the double slash at this place since I have them too and my blog is working fine:
Guessed imagepath: /www/htdocs/x123x456//images/

Configured Imagepath: ../images/

Guessed thumbnailpath /www/htdocs/x123x456//thumbnails/

Configured Thumbnailpath ../thumbnails/
