Anyone know the answer to this ?
Still haven't figured it out and any help would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Problems uploading avatars and images

do you get any error messages if you turn on php debugging? Sounds like a php upload server config problem to me, and if so, there should be a php error after the file upload.

* sorry - just re-read your first post. Still interested if there are any php debug errors, but ignore my later comments.

When I try to upload an image the php debug gives me this msg:

Warning [PHP]: getimagesize(): open_basedir restriction in effectFile(/tmp/phpL19NoJis not within the allowed path(s): (/var/www/hotels/) in file class/uploader.php line 183


I'm no php guru so I have no idea what to do...
Appreciate any help I can get....

Re: Problems uploading avatars and images

open_basedir is a php configuration setting that limits what directories a php application can access. This error occurs because the upload_dir setup for php /tmp/ is outside the paths you are allowed to access. This has to be set at either the php configuration or web server configuration level. So you can either

1) Convice whoever hosts your website to change this configuration value so that you can manipulate uploaded files.
2) move your site to a host that allows you to access the specified upload_dir.

Ok. My webhost ishttp://www.1go.dk and according to them this php script will work for uploading files:

<?php 

// general configuration

$extval_use 1// turns on/off extension validation

$filesize_limit 200// file size limit (in kB)

$message["invext"] = "Filer af denne type kan ikke uploades!"
$message["incomplete"] = "Upload lykkedes ikke."

$message["uploadtxt"] = "Fil, der skal uploades: "

$rc 0

// <filesize> 
   
if($filesize_limit_use=1) {

if($filesize_limit $filesize) { 
         echo

      } 
   }

$rc 2
         } 
      } 
      
// </extension_validate> 
   


   if ( 
$rc == ) { 
      
// <file exists verification> 
      
echo "<p><center>Trying to upload to: "

      if ( 
file_exists($upload_path.$filename) ) { 
         echo

      } else {

         } 

      } 
      
// </file exists verification> 
   




echo

.$message["uploadbutton"]."'></td> 
   </tr> 
   <tr> 
      <td></td> 
      <td></td> 
   <tr>

</form>"


?>



Is there anyway I can modify the upload script in XOOPS so that it will work like this one?

we are working on a possible solution to work around open_basedir() restrictions on file uploading. I should know more this weekend
