groupmanager changes permission to upload

[Monsignore]

I installed coppermine a few days before.

There is a permanent error that occurs. I can work with coppermin, upload picture with no errors. When I look at the Groupmanager and save the changes (even if there are NO changes made!), I can no more upload pictures. There is always the error message "0 uploads were successful". I looked with the ftp-program for the chmod 777 - the directorys are set at this mode. Just as I have done before.

I installed Coppermine twice or 3 times before and there was always the same effect.

I searched the forum for a similar mistake but haven' t found. Although I know this is primarly a problem for the upload section, I think it has also to do with permission and rights.

Could you please help?

enable debug mode for everyone in coppermine config, then switch to "single file uploads only" for the registered group in "groups", apply your changes, log out as admin, log in as regular user and try to upload a pic - this should give you a detailed error what actually fails / is wrong. Post the error message (not the debug output) here.

Hello Joachim,

the error message says:

Es wurde keine Datei hochgeladen!

Wenn Du tatsächlich eine Datei zum Hochladen selektiert hast, überprüfe ob Dein Server das Hochladen von Dateien zulässt...

Datei: /homepages/8/d105487184/htdocs/Gothique.org/db_input.php - Zeile: 221

in english:

No file was uploaded !

If you have really selected a file to upload, check that the server allows file uploads...

File: /homepages/8/d105487184/htdocs/Gothique.org/db_input.php - Line: 221

I want to add something but I don' t know if it is important: I read the documentation once again. And I found the instruction:
2.5 Safe mode issues

A significant number of webhost on the Internet run PHP in safe mode. Coppermine runs without any problem in safe mode and with the "open basedir restriction" active, provided safe mode is properly configured. Unfortunately on many hosts, safe mode is not configured properly.

If your webhost is running PHP in safe mode but is misconfigured, you may need to do the following :

    * With a FTP program, change the mode of Coppermine's "include" directory on your server to 0777.
    * Do the same for the "albums" and "userpics" directories.
    * Check that at the beginning the the "include/config.inc.php" file, you have a line with : "define('SILLY_SAFE_MODE', 1);"

I searched the file and this line has not been included, so I wrote the line "define ..." into it uploaded but nothing happened.

Did you make sure you have CHMODed your albums folder and everything within it as suggested in the docs. Don't just check (don't trust the display of CHMOD properties in your FTP app), but re-apply CHMOD. If 777 doesn't work for you, try 755.

Joachim,

I tried out all I could. The right for "albums" and "include" with all folder under it are set to 777. I changed this a few days before and now it seems to be ok:

I must trust in the information SmartFTP gives me because I don' t have another chance.

As you can see, there are different pictures on the homepage, so the problem occured really after using the Group Manager.

What else can I do?

[Joachim Müller]

sounds like the webserver actually isn't configured to allow uploads. Are you running in safe mode? If yes, did you try the suggestion in the docs about safe mode?

What I think is interesting that I had already uploaded pictures. On my second domain www.gothic4you.org (warning, some nudity) you will - if registered - also find pictures of a user who had registered. There I changed nothing.

Concerning the other domain gothique.org, it is the save server - hosted by Puretec, Karlsruhe - only another subdirectory. So, I don' t beleave that the problem is the upload itself.

I think, when I would change something in the group manager of gothic4you.org, there will be the same problem.

My next question is: can this be a problem of safe mode? How can I find, if my server is running on safe mode?

So far, Joachim, what else can I do? Please help me! I would really like to use CopperMine. But I want to have the possibility to make rules for my different groups.

[Joachim Müller]

refer to phpinfo to find out wether safe mode is enabled or not.

Joachim

P.S. any special reason you disabled access to http://www.gothique.org/ (403 forbidden) ?

Goth, I' m really stupid ;-)
I tried and I found:

Am I right that safe mode is Not enabled!?

With this knowledge - how can we solve the original problem, the reason why I started this topic?

You will find the system I wanted to replace with Coppermine. Thx for the hint that it was 403. Changed!

could some other dev team member take this one over please, as I will be away for a week? Imo a supporter will have to look into this with admin access (@Monsignore: don't post admin data, nor send it to anyone without being told so. Hopefully a dev team member will take care of this soon).

No one seems to be interested

I can't find a coppermine gallery at any of these links, can you post a direct link ?

[Monsignore]

Sry, I just started to try out Postnuke with Coppermine inside and I hope there is not the same probleme.

I will report!

Hi Nibbler,

could I ask for your help now, please.

Please have a look to: www.akt.sc/coppermine  Warning, not worksafe, some nudity

This thread has been fixed.  It was a domain redirect issue.
