blank upload

[anime-me]

im sure all my files are chmod'ed correctly (even chmod them to 777 instead of 775) but everytime i try to upload the page loads for a really long time and it just give me a blank page and when i try a batch upload it says there are no folders in the "album" directory were there is infact 2 folders:
1; has a test image in it (uploads)
2; is empty (manga)
and they are both chmod correctly.

my server is running at very low speeds atm that could explain the normal http upload but how does it explain the ftp batch upload?

taht really doesn't solve my problem at all. I have raed the documantation over and over again and there was no fix for my problem...
please help. im sure the fix is pretty simple. if i could i would post the debug info but sadly i only get a blank page upon upload with no data what so ever.

You didn't read it carefully !
read it again and do as suggested under RED part (also red part said Do not post debug_output unless requested)

[anime-me]

actually i read it three times... I think i read it good enough. Anyways, I didn't know that you needed a test account for every problem ur users encounter

btw, i have bridged it with my phpbb 2.0.18 + site.

The Doc says:
Enable debug mode for everyone
Set the upload form configuration for all groups to "Single file uploads only" (set File upload boxes to "1", URI upload boxes to "0" and No. of boxes to "fixed")
but you didn't !

BTW single upload works fine for me and it's waiting for your approval

[anime-me]

yes i did.. my server was inaccessable for a while so the changes might have not taken affect yet but enough about that
everything is setup now but the batch uplaods don't work. it says that there are no directories under "album" when in fact there are like 3....
need the debug info? just ask.

Post a deep link to one of the files you're trying to batch-add. What server operating system are you using?

[anime-me]

im on a windows server. I read a few topics and was able to fix it myself but now i have another problem...
when i upload /png files they don't show up... it gives me this error "When using the GD image library allowed image types are only JPEG and PNG." i don't understand tho.... that file is .png

This is known issue , you need to disable Browsable batch-add interface

"When using the GD image library allowed image types are only JPEG and PNG." i don't understand tho.... that file is .png

Probably bad formated file , try another file

what do u mean by "bad formmated"? i batched upload all those png files with 4 jpg files. the 4 jpgs work whilst the png's don't. i tried a deep link to one of the pngs and it worked correctly.

[Joachim Müller]

Then post the deep link to the png file that doesn't work for you.

The png file may be broken. Image libraries are picky: although your desktop app may be able to open a broken png file, GD might not be able to open it. That's why you're suppossed to post a link to it, to enable us to take a look at it.

[anime-me]

oh sorry^^; had to disable .htaccess so u could view the deep link outside my site.

There you go: the png you're trying to batch-add is not a RGB file, but a reduced palette image. GD doesn't support this out of the box. Option one: change the palette to RGB or convert the file into GIF. I attached both possible versions.

[anime-me]

is there another option?
convering all the images im planning to upload is going to be on ehell of a hassle.

[Nibbler]

Try using ImageMagick if available.

[Joachim Müller]

Or try batch converting all your images on the client using IrfanView (see tutorial "Batch-resizing pics with Irfan View"). This is dead easy and will require nearly no time.
