Hi,

Trying to upload images doesn't seem to work for me even from within the Admin section. I'm sure I'm doing something basic wrong.

I've created a category called website, which has a max filesize of 100000 bytes, max width of 500px, max height of 375px.

I've CHMODed the "upload" directory to 777. There's a subdirectory called "images" in there and I've CHMODed that to 777 just to be sure.

When I try to upload an image called colourlogo.gif (100 x 100px, 4,674bytes) from my HDD I get the following error:

"Errors Returned Whilst Uploading
Invalid image file"

I've turned on the debug mode and get the following 6 errors:

1. Warning: getimagesize(): open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/tmp/phpQWIqjA) is not within the allowed path(s):

(/home/llanmonforuk/public_html) in file /class/uploader.php line 392

2. Warning: getimagesize(/tmp/phpQWIqjA): failed to open stream: Operation not permitted in file /class/uploader.php line

392
3. Warning: Failed fetching image size of /tmp/phpQWIqjA, skipping max width check.. in file /class/uploader.php line 397
4. Warning: getimagesize(): open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/tmp/phpQWIqjA) is not within the allowed path(s):

5. Warning: getimagesize(/tmp/phpQWIqjA): failed to open stream: Operation not permitted in file /class/uploader.php line

412
6. Warning: Failed fetching image size of /tmp/phpQWIqjA, skipping max height check.. in file /class/uploader.php line 417


I'm tearing out what little hair I have left

All (helpful) suggestions gratefully received

Hi,
If you are also administrator of the box or have access to php.ini, you can edit it - the setting about upload temp dir or base dir.
What version of XOOPS are you using?
If you do not have access to php.ini file, for 2.0.13.2 you can use class/uploader.php from older version - 2.0.13.1 will be ok.

Hi,

I am the site's webmaster.

>>What version of XOOPS are you using?<<

Using 2.0.16

>>If you..........have access to php.ini, you can edit it - the setting about upload temp dir or base dir.<<

Where do I find php.ini? If its below the root folder then I don't have access to that (my host won't let me!).

>>If you do not have access to php.ini file, for 2.0.13.2 you can use class/uploader.php from older version - 2.0.13.1 will be ok.<<

There is a file called uploader.php in the /class folder of my website. What do I need to alter? Sorry, I'n a bit new at this.

Many thanks

Just had a thought.......whilst I have permission to upload files generally, perhaps I'm trying to upload a filetype/mimetype that isn't permitted?

I vagueely remember something about this when setting the site up - can someone point me in the right direction, please?

Many thanks

have you tried a search 'set mimetypes'?

Hi

Try CHMOD -R 777 directory/

and also CHMOD 777 the files to upload if you use linux.

It worked for me.

Hi JAVesey,
how I understand this error, is that php is not allowed to run scripts inside the /tmp.

If this is on a hosted box see if they can create a /tmp in "your_account"/home/ or "your_account"/. Then set it as the tmpdir for php.

Good luck.

Hi,

Problem sorted after I contacted the hosting company.
