Error Uploading Files

I have a gallery that has been setup at http://www.thomasanastasia.com/gallery , that has operated for 6 months without any problems. at the end of march I started getting errors when i waould try to upload files, ie; download error, no thumbnail etc etc. Tonight I tried to upload the first album of photos to another album that has been installed for months ( http://www.thomasanastasia.com/family/gallery ) without being used. Same errors. I turned on the debug and tried to upload a single photo. This is the error I got.

Can you decipher the problem? I have searched through the forum, but I'm not clear on whether it is an issue with a change with netpbm or if it is how to correct it.

Thank you.
Tom

Would this be the right one?

Do I setup a dir and then redirect that directory?

I'd ask your host about that. It looks like there may be some issues with PHP file uploading (e.g. incorrect permissions on the /tmp directory or something similar)...

Anyone else have any thoughts on this??

Joan,

Thank you for the response. I have verified that the config.php file is pointing to all of the right directories. Is there anywhere else that you can think might be an issue.

Remeber I have one gallery that is operating fine.

Thanks,
Tom

ok......

That was a good tip. I ran diff and made some changes so that the directory structure is the same on both (with the exception of the obvious different locations that gallery resides). I ran diff after the changes and the image below is what I see.

<!-- BBCode Start --><IMG SRC="http://www.thomasanastasia.com/tel-net.jpg"><!-- BBCode End -->

As you can see the two are almost identical. Now whem I try to upload I get this error.

Soooooooooo.........

I hate to be a pest, but my php knowledge is minimal.

Thanks again,

Joan,

I'm pulling my hair out in the process of upgrading the first gallery, the one that has worked fine for six months (http://www.thomasanastasia.com/gallery), It has aquired the same problem.

Can you decipher this error. I know its the same one as before but I wonder if you can tell me why it always happens to be those files and those line numbers. Are they clues to my configuration problem.

In addition now that I am having the error problem on the first gallery I went to put it into configuration and when I try to start the wizard it goes to the internal error page.

Your assistance thus far has been very appreciated.

yea, that definetly isn't a problem.

If my directory hasn't been correct it would always say so when trying to complete the configuration wizard. So why does it keep saying No such file or directory? I can see that they are there? Do they need to have a special permission ie; 777? and what about the fact that it continues to hang up here "fs_unix.php on line 24"? Does this mean something in particular?

Girls and Guys thank you for your help. I'm about fed up with this problem so I am going to start from scratch on the gallery that didn't already have pictures in it. I deleted all of the files and directories, unpacked a clean version, put it into configuration mode and when I go to start the wizard I get the 500 error. Which I experienced the first time I set up my first gallery 6 months ago. Of course we eventually worked through it but wouldn't you know I don't remember all of my steps. So I have pulled out my original posts and e-mails with my hosting company.

Lets start here.

My php.ini has this in it....

<snip>
register_globals = on

safe_mode = Off
magic_quotes_gpc = Off
<snip>

Is that correct, or should I say am I missing anything there?

Thanks again for bearing with me.

ok, back in. I had to delete the .htaccess files in the gallery and setup directories.

When I try to upload photos in the newly reloaded gallery, this is the error I get. Its the same thing I have been getting. I looked up the lines that it is referencing. Maybe you can help me decipher where the problem is.

1st>>>>

Warning: Unable to open '' for reading: No such file or directory in /home/www/thomasanastasia/family/gallery/platform/fs_unix.php on line 24

This is line 24 in fs_unix.php : $results = copy($source, $dest);

2nd>>>>

Warning: getimagesize: Unable to open '/www/thomasanastasia/family/images/albums/album01/DSC02433.jpg' for reading. in /home/www/thomasanastasia/family/gallery/util.php on line 473

This is line 473 in util.php : if (($type = getimagesize($file)) == FALSE)

So..... Does this shed any light on it? I don't really understand the php syntax enough to figure it out.

Yes I do, plenty of space in the tmp directory.

Do the line errors not really give clues or is that why your asking about the temp directory?

Joan,

I assumed you wanted me to change this>>>

<span class=title>Processing status...</span>
<br>

<?php
while (sizeof($userfile)) {
$name = array_shift($userfile_name);
$file = array_shift($userfile);
if (!empty($usercaption) &amp;&amp; is_array($usercaption)) {
$caption = removeTags(array_shift($usercaption));
}

$tag = ereg_replace(".*.([^.]*)$", "\1", $name);
$tag = strtolower($tag);

if ($name) {
process($file, $tag, $name, $caption, $setCaption);
}
}

to this>>>>>

<span class=title>Processing status...</span>
<br>

<?php
print "Userfile: ";
var_dump($userfile);
print "<p>Userfile_name: ";
var_dump($userfile_name);
while (sizeof($userfile)) {
$name = array_shift($userfile_name);
$file = array_shift($userfile);
print "<br>name: $name; file $file<br>";
if (!empty($usercaption) &amp;&amp; is_array($usercaption)) {
$caption = removeTags(array_shift($usercaption));
}

Is that correct? Or was I just supposed to add that in somewhere and not remove anything?

When I do that then try to upload a file it gives me this>>>

Parse error: parse error in /home/www/thomasanastasia/family/gallery/save_photos.php on line 443

Should I change it back?

not quite. Your replacement is right, but only remove :

<!-- BBCode Start --><TABLE BORDER=0 ALIGN=CENTER WIDTH=85%><TR><TD><font class="pn-sub">Code:</font><HR></TD></TR><TR><TD><FONT class="pn-sub"><PRE>
<span class=title>Processing status...</span>
<br>

<?php
while (sizeof($userfile)) {
$name = array_shift($userfile_name);
$file = array_shift($userfile);
if (!empty($usercaption) &amp;&amp; is_array($usercaption)) {
$caption = removeTags(array_shift($usercaption));
}
</TD></TR></TABLE><!-- BBCode End -->

I'm sorry are you saying it should look like so?

This is what I currently have in there>>>

<span class=title>Processing status...</span>
<br>

<?php
print "Userfile: ";
var_dump($userfile);
print "<p>Userfile_name: ";
var_dump($userfile_name);
while (sizeof($userfile)) {
$name = array_shift($userfile_name);
$file = array_shift($userfile);
print "<br>name: $name; file $file<br>";
if (!empty($usercaption) &amp;&amp; is_array($usercaption)) {
$caption = removeTags(array_shift($usercaption));
}

$tag = ereg_replace(".*.([^.]*)$", "\1", $name);
$tag = strtolower($tag);

if ($name) {
process($file, $tag, $name, $caption, $setCaption);
}
}

Is that correct?

Thank you

Sorry to get you excited, that was never going to fix it. It's just diagnostic statements. And it's given some interesting results. It looks like the file uploading is failing somehow.

Let's just test that, without any gallery code to confuse things.

Create a file called x.php in your gallery directory, and put this in it:
<!-- BBCode Start --><TABLE BORDER=0 ALIGN=CENTER WIDTH=85%><TR><TD><font class="pn-sub">Code:</font><HR></TD></TR><TR><TD><FONT class="pn-sub"><PRE>
<html> <body>
<form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="x.php" method="post">
Send this file: <input name="userfile" type="file">
<input type="submit" value="Send File"> </form>
<?php
if ($_FILES) {
print ("<p>_FILES: ");
var_dump($_FILES);
print ("<p>userfile $userfile; userfile_name $userfile_name<p>");
if (strlen($_FILES["userfile"]["tmp_name"]) > 0 &amp;&amp; $_FILES["userfile"]["size"] > 0) {
print "<p> Test Passed<p>";
} else {
print "<p> Test Failed<p>";
}
}
if ($HTTP_POST_FILES) {
print ("<p>HTTP_POST_FILES: ");
var_dump($HTTP_POST_FILES);
print ("<p>");
if (strlen($HTTP_POST_FILES["userfile"]["tmp_name"]) > 0 &amp;&amp; $HTTP_POST_FILES["userfile"]["size"] > 0) {
print "<p> Test Passed<p>";
} else {
print "<p> Test Failed<p>";
}
}
?>
</body> </html>
</TD></TR></TABLE><!-- BBCode End -->

Open it in your browser, chose a file with "browse" and then click "send this file"

If the tests pass, I'm wrong and upload basically work. If the tests fail, then you should show the results to your ISP. Either way, please post everything that gets printed here.

Andrew,

Good to see you! As you can see, I'm a little out of my depth here! Can I leave him in your hands?

Nevermind, it looks like file uploads are enabled, or else _FILES wouldn't be getting populated...

Uploads may be enabled, but nothing it getting uploaded.

Two things I can suggest: Browser problems or space/permissions problems on the server. If you can create a temporary account, one of us could try uploading, then at least we could find out if it was browser or system problems.

Well, um, file uploading works for me

http://www.thomasanastasia.com/family/gallery/view_album.php?set_albumName=album02

I uploaded a Dilbert comic...

well, i'm at work so I can't tell you the exact file size, but i'm using IE 6 and the files are straight out of my digital camera.

This is the same browser and the same camera that has taken the pictures that are in this gallery, http://www.thomasanastasia.com/gallery . I never had a problem uplaoding to this gallery until recently when I started this thread. In addition wouldn't the xp uploader bypass the browser? I was able to upload two different albums to this gallery with the xp uploader before I started having problems. Is there some kind of conflict that might be out there?

While I was typing this I tried to upload a photo from work using IE 6 and this was the result.

It did upload but in the window it says this.

Do I need to remove the syntax we added in the save_photo.php previously?

I really appreciatte all of your help and bearing with me.
Thanks, Tom

Good Point. I won't be home for a couple of hours. When I get in I will try it and let you know the outcome.

Anythoughts on the error it spit out when it processed the photo I uploaded? Should I remove the code we added earlier?

I will let you know the results once I get home. So I guess if I have a problem then its either the browser or file size.

Still not quite sure why it used to work and now it doesn't, but all that matters is that it seems to be working now.

Joan and Andrew thank you very much!!! :grin:

I am having a problem uploading a big file as well. . .not sure what the problem is.

I was trying to upload a mpeg file that is 9MB (encoded with Videowave III). It fails with all the upload methods (Java, XP, and web).

I have been successful uploading several 6MB (encoded with Movie Maker) files. . .

If there is a size limitation, I am running into it between 6 and 9 MB. . .

When I uploading with the web interface, after I submit the status window pops up and the main window refreshes to "page not found" in IE and in Mozilla it says something about page info being missing.

Advice is helpful.

Well this is the story....

I have two galleries set up. The first was operating fine for six months and would upload as many of my 750-900 kb files that came out of my camera, as I wanted. Then out of no-where I started getting an error and it would not work. I thought this was simply an issue at the time and I would figure it out. Well then I proceeded with seting up my second gallery and I had the same issue. As you can see by this thread that I spent many hours pulling my hair out trying to figure it out. Thanks to Andrew and Joan I have finally come to the realization that I can upload files if they are a certain size, but it seems like after I pass the 400 kb threshold, I get the error and it doesn't work. I have checked my configuration and it is set up to recieve files up to 2mb.

This is the entire contents of my php.ini >>>

register_globals = on

safe_mode = Off
magic_quotes_gpc = Off

Is there anything I should add in there? Does anyone else know what files I can change settings in so I don't continue to have this issue. I have no desire to shrink down every picture before I can upload it. Please, any help is appreciated.

Thanks, Tom

Not a clue! Re-read all the posts to make sure I didn't miss something and searched the php manual pages for any clues. Zip!!! Will certainly post any findings back to here though.

This is just crazy! :evil:
