Can't upload custom avatar?

Hi everyone. I have a problem on my site. I am unable to upload custom avatars. I have ensured that the uploads folder is writable and have activated custom avatars in preferences. However, when I try to upload a small image (within the set size constraints), I am given the following error message:

Media Upload Errors
Invalid image file

Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Sa1ad

Hi Salad,

I've only had this problem in xoopsgallery when trying to upload an image file with a file extension like jpe instead of jpeg.

Does this happen for all avatars you try to upload or just a particular one? Check the file extension and make sure it's jpg, jpeg, gif etc.

Cheers,
Dee

Hi Dee, Thanks for replying.

I have tried to upload a few different files with jpg and gif extensions. I get the same error each time.

Hi, got this problem with my french web hosting!
The only way to solve that was to comment some code in /class/uploader.php :
Quote:

if (isset($this->maxWidth) || isset($this->maxHeight)) {
if (false === ($this->mediaDimention = getimagesize($this->mediaTmpName))) {
$this->setErrors('Invalid image file');
return false;
}
}

You can try this but you have to know that every user can upload a really big avatar like Billy with his 4x4 car (391 x 299) on my site...and i can't change it!

On another of the servers that I've worked on, the problem was CHMOD. Double-check your permissions for the user avatar folder.

Good luck!

Maybe your serevr has openbase_dir restriction enabled.
Turn on the PHP debug and see if any error messages are displayed.

It's ok to have the openbase_dir restriction enabled, as long as the temporary folder where files are temporarily uploaded is accessible (defaults to /tmp).
