Re: No file was uploaded.

[eureka345]

I'm using Yahoo Business hosting and running into this problem.  I tried to create the temp directory, as suggested - but it's not making any difference.  Where exactly should I be creating this directory?  

I'm pretty adept at computers, but don't know much about php and this has me stumped.

Edited to add a few more details. 

My exact error is 0 uploads were successful. However, I receive no other error messages.  This is a brand new installation.  I'm also having problems getting my CHMODS to 'stick'.. I'll edit them to 777, but soon after they're back to 775.

Enable debug_mode in coppermine config (with notices turned off), then set "method for uploading files" to "Single file uploads only" for all relevant groups ins the groups panel. This should give you a more detailed error message for troubleshooting. Posting a link and non-admin test user account might help as well.

I have no clue if any of this is helpful - but here's what in debug mode when I try to upload.   I have created a test account username: test pw: test and the site is www.meno-sand.net/albums

I was asking for error messages, not the debug_ouput. The test user account won't help unless you do what I suggested and turn debug_mode on for everyone and set the upload method to "Single file uploads only" in "groups" !

Joachim

[eureka345]

I told you I don't know a thing about PHP and  I misunderstood your original message - I thought I gave you want you wanted, no need to roll your eyes at me.. not everyone is an expert!  In any case, I do appreciate the help - things should be as you want them to be now.

This is the error msg it's giving me now: No file was uploaded !

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

File: /albums/db_input.php - Line: 221


I've searched the forum and read similar topics but I still don't know what I should do.  Most of them suggest that it's a webhost problem - but I use web-based upload to my file manager all the time, so I am not so sure. 

[Joachim Müller]

does your server allow file uploads then?

Joachim

[eureka345]

I don't know.  I told you that I upload files using a web based file manager all the time - but does that mean my server allows uploads?  I don't know... that's why I am here.  I am using Yahoo Business Hosting, as I already stated.  How would I go about finding out whether or not it allows uploads?  And if it doesn't, am I just screwed?

yes

Try re-applying CHMOD as suggested in the install section of the docs.

Joachim

[eureka345]

I see no install section in docs???  Not sure what you mean there.

Apparently I needed to name my temp directory tmp and not temp.. so I changed that, and now what is happening when I try to upload is that I press submit and then http://www.meno-sand.net/albums/db_input.php loads as a page.. and it's blank.  Nothing else happens.

[eureka345]

OK.. I got one tiny file to upload, but when I try to upload anything bigger I am getting the blank screen I mentioned above.

I guess it's progress....

[Tranz]

I see no install section in docs??? Not sure what you mean there.

http://coppermine.sourceforge.net/manual.php#installation

[eureka345]

OK.. I thought you were saying to CHMOD the install section... now I see that you mean to CHMOD the sections album and include... done done and done.. a long time ago.

[Joachim Müller]

You're meant to re-chmod as suggested in the install section of the docs, we didn't suggest to re-install.

Joachim

[eureka345]

I didn't say I was going to reinstall?  Anyways.. enough about CHMODing.. it's not my problem.

I am able to upload files now, but I still get the same error message with some files, and other times I get the blank screen.  Anything bigger than the smallest files I try to upload is doing this.

FYI - it's not a problem with max upload sizes in config.

[eureka345]

I take the lack of response to mean that there is no solution to this??? 

[Joachim Müller]

I'm out of this thread: if you don't do what I suggest, you probably won't need my advice.

Joachim

[eureka345]

I've done everything you've suggested!!!!  The last thing you suggested to me was CHMODing... I did that a long time ago, and double and triple checked it... and since I've been able to upload small files, obviously it is not a CHMOD problem.  So 

[Joachim Müller]

don't check CHMOD settings, as the CHMOD properties might be displayed wrong in your ftp app, but re-apply CHMOD.

Joachim

[eureka345]

Ok, maybe I should have been more specific.... I have RE APPLIED CHMOD multiple times.  Still having the problem.  Can you suggest something different, because obviously that's not it?

[eureka345]

FYI, the gallery is now at http://www.meno-sand.net/gallery/ - I tried deleting all files from my server and my database, and re uploading, re installing (including all the CHMODing!), etc... still the exact same problem.  Small files are uploading, but nothing bigger (approximately 1-2MB).  I have increased maximum file size in config and done everything else I can think of to explain the problem.  A friend who was trying to help me out got the following error:

Critical error Script called without the required parameter(s). File: /albums/db_input.php - Line: 41
