Question mark icon - when doing Batch Upload

[inductionconcepts]

I just did a fresh install.  I have my directories created, uploaded 100+ files via ftp, then went to 'batch upload'.  After I pick the directory, in batch upload, and it goes to a kind of intermediate status screen, it shows tiny thumbnails of each pic, with a checkbox on the left to select the files you want to upload.  Well out of 100, there are always 3-4 that have a small blue question mark icon.

I can click on the icon and it will display the picture.  But after I finish the batch upload and go to view the album, the picture isn't listed, doesn't show up or anything, like it didn't get added.

I have tried deleting the file and re-uploading it again...repeatedly, tried overwriting the file, repeatedly, nothing works.  I can view the file on my machine locally, no problem.

So, what am I doing wrong, or how do I fix this?

Thanks in advance.

try a regular http upload first (using the "upload" link from the coppermine navigation). Any particular reason for doing a fresh install of the outdated cpg1.2.x instead of the recommended stable cpg1.3.2 ?

It's bundled with my webhost.   

I'll try the http upload.  Thanks.

Ok, I tried the http upload and got the following error:

Code Select Expand


The picture 'albums/userpics/10001/BOV1.jpg' can't be inserted in the album

The image you have uploaded is corrupted or can't be handled by the GD library



Warning: imagecreatefromjpeg(): 'albums/userpics/10001/BOV1.jpg' is not a valid JPEG file in /home/inducti/public_html/gallery2/include/picmgmt.inc.php on line 176





How can the picture be corrupted or not a valid JPEG, if I can view it in my browser and a couple of graphics programs?

The GD image library can not handle all file formats your browser or other apps can. Do as suggested, test with a known good jpeg file first (e.g. one from our demo page).
You should update coppermine anyway, even if it came bundled with your webspace,
