Hi guys,

I kept getting the 0 uploads successful error whenever i try to upload a file. I tried everything on the FAQ provided. Then I realised that it is my server config that prevents me to upload because another installation of coppermine in another directory is also having the same problem. This installation should not have this problem because I was able to upload photos in the past. No settings was changed for that directory. Since both old and new installations are not working. I suspect it is a server configuration that prevents me from uploading stuff to it.

I am co-administrating this server. Can someone please let me know what do i need to enable in order for my server to allow uploads? Is it a port issue? Thanks in advance.

This is the error message I get
QuoteNo file was uploaded !

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

File: d:\Web\cca\motor\gallery\db_input.php - Line: 222
Contact your webhost for support: ask them if you're allowed to make http uploads

Hi,

Thanks for the reply. I am the administrator of this machine. However, I am not the system administrator for the network that this machine is on. Is there anything I can do on the web machince to enable HTTP Uploads? Is there a port that I need to open?

I have verified the following "If you get the error message No picture was uploaded. If you have really selected a picture to upload, check that the server allows file uploads..., check if there's a problem with HTTP uploads on your server - they may have been disabled or improperly configured. In phpinfo(), check that "file_uploads" is ON, "upload_max_filesize" is something like 2M and "upload_tmp_dir" is a valid directory!" based on the FAQ provided.

Is there anything else I can do?

this is not related to network setup, but server setup (apache and php configuration), so you should be able to fix this by yourself, as you're administering the webserver. Also make sure that CHMOD settings are correct.

I am using IIS 4 and php 4.4.0. I tried checking the php.ini file and everything is in order. The CHMOD settings are also correct because I have deployed coppermine in another server with the same settings and it works. So I have no more ideas on what I can do. Is there anything I need to do on IIS to enable http uploads?

Something else:

Go here: http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/php/2003/04/24/php_foundations.html

That gives a basic overview on http uploads.  Try this code (change $path to a writable directory).  The html file can be called anything, name the php file uploadproc.php.

Code Select
<html>
<head></head>
<body>
<form method="post" action="uploadproc.php" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="file" name="myfile"><br />
<input type="submit" value="Upload File">
</form>
</body>
</html>
Code Select
<?php
// Change $path to a writable directory
// Either as a path (/www/home/gooddir/)
// or as a relative path (gooddir/)
$path = "tmp/";

// Nothing to change below this line.
$errmsg = array('0' => 'No errors',
                '1' => 'The uploaded file exceeds the upload_max_filesize directive in php.ini.',
                '2' => 'The uploaded file exceeds the MAX_FILE_SIZE directive that was specified in the HTML form.',
                '3' => 'The uploaded file was only partially uploaded.',
                '4' => 'No file was uploaded.',
                '6' => 'Missing a temporary folder.');
if(!isset($_FILES['myfile'])) {
die ("Error! The expected file wasn't a part of the submitted form");
}

if($_FILES['myfile']['error'] != UPLOAD_ERR_OK) {
echo 'Error ' . $_FILES['myfile']['error'] . ', ' . $errmsg[$_FILES['myfile']['error']] . '<br>';
echo "Error! The file uploaded failed.";
die();
}

if(!move_uploaded_file($_FILES['myfile']['tmp_name'],
   $path . $_FILES['myfile']['name'])) {
die ("Error! Moving the uploaded file failed.");
}

echo "File successfully uploaded.";
?>

That should give you a more detailed output for your failure.

Hi,

Thanks for your advise. I tried the script that you gave me and got the following error. I don't know PHP, so I hope you could explain to me.

PHP Warning: File upload error - unable to create a temporary file in Unknown on line 0 PHP Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING in d:\home\allen\uploadproc.php on line 3

Change

Code Select
die "Error! The expected file wasn't a part of the submitted form";

to

Code Select
die ("Error! The expected file wasn't a part of the submitted form");

Try the script again.  However, it looks like you don't have write permissions to whatever tmp directory you have, but we'll know more when you report your results.

I got the following error now. I have checked my security settings. I have allowed IUSR_COMPUTERNAME with write access to both "albums" and "include" folders. Is there anything else I can do or any other settings that I can set? Thanks for your help.

You don't have permission to write to whatever tmp directory is specified in your php.ini file.  If you are using the default tmp directory, then you are using the Windows temp directory, which you don't have access to.  You can specify any directory as the tmp directory - make a directory in your document root and give it read/write access for the IUSR account, then update your php.ini file accordingly.

I suggest you search Google for IIS setup, and review GauGau's guide on setting up servers.  Although we try to help fix faulty server setups, it really isn't our speciality.

Hi,

Thanks for all your help. You have enlighten me in a certain way. I recently upgraded my php version to 4.4.0 and a temp directory was not created for me. After creating the temp dir, i was able to upload the file. Then I had a placement error. I checked my security settings for albums and include and found that it had both allow and deny access for write rights. Since deny right takes precedence, i had to remove it. After that everything worked out fine.

Thanks for all your help. I have listed the things that I did for reference so that other might be able to benefit from it.
