Hi, welcome to the cpg forum.

Try two little steps before posting your problem:
1- read the documentation
2- use the search option, a lot of question have already been answered.

But first read the documentation.
http://coppermine-gallery.net/demo/cpg14x/docs/index.htm#upload_http
and
http://coppermine-gallery.net/demo/cpg14x/docs/index.htm#upload_trouble

[fangweile]

I do read this documentation but still I can't get it. What file I am going to edit to fix the http upload error.

Uploading by HTTP

Regular HTTP uploads use the browser's built-in capabilities to upload files to a server. The maximum file size is determined by two basic factors: the speed and amount of data the web-browser can upload before timing out, and the allowed file size determined by server settings. Note that those settings are not determined by coppermine, but the server config (php.ini). Users who are webhosted usually can't edit php.ini, so they will have to live with the settings the webserver admin has set up. Those who actually run their own server and can edit php.ini should take a look at the settings if (large) http uploads fail:

   1. max_input_time- 60 seconds is the default time limit for uploading files.
      This time limit includes the time it takes for the files to upload, so if you exceed this limit, the file will not even parse, and the browser will not get a response. You can workaround this by trying to upload smaller or fewer files, or you can try uploading over broadband. The best solution, of course, is to increase the time limit to something more in line with your needs.
   2. upload_max_filesize - 2MB is the default limit for individual files.
   3. post_max_size - 8MB is the default limit for post requests.
   4. memory_limit - 8MB is the default size.
   5. PHP's LimitRequestBody - 512KB default limit. (mainly an issue on Redhat/Apache systems. Found in /etc/http/conf.d)
      In general, upload_max_filesize < post_max_size < memory_limit in order for uploads to function properly. Coppermine may warn you if a file exceeds upload_max_filesize, but it cannot warn you if the total size of all the files exceeds the post limit or the memory limit.
   6. file_uploads - This determines whether or not PHP will allow file uploads. It must be set to 'On'.
   7. upload_tmp_dir - This specifies the temporary directory where PHP stores uploaded files.
      The most common issue caused by this setting is an open_basedir warning. In this situation, your server administrator has restricted the files that PHP can work with to a certain directory. If he does not create and specify a temporary directory within the open_basedir restriction, PHP will attempt to use the OS temporary directory, and it will be rebuffed by the open_basedir restriction.
   8. allow_fopen_url - This controls PHP's ability to read files using URL/URIs. If it is disabled, Coppermine will not be able to upload from URLs.

It should be obvious that the files have to be uploaded somewhere (into some folder) on your webserver - this is the albums folder within the folder you installed coppermine on your server. The HTTP uploads go into subfolders of the "userpics" folder (which resides within the "albums" folder). Obviously, the coppermine upload script needs write permissions to upload the files there. This is why you have to change permissions on the albums folder and everything within it during coppermine install - make it writable for the user the webserver runs under. This is done using the CHMOD command on Unix/Linux based servers. If you experience issues with uploading, make sure that you have set the permissions correctly.

[Joachim Müller]

Hein told you to RTFM and do exactly as suggested:

4.11.4 Upload troubleshooting

If you are experiencing issues with coppermine's upload process, temporarily change your coppermine settings as suggested below to get more detailed error messages:

    * Go to your coppermine page and log in as admin
    * Go to the config screen
    * Scroll to the bottom of the page
    * Expand the "Maintenance settings" section by clicking on it
    * Enable debug mode for everyone
    * Leave display of notices switched off
    * Save the new settings by clicking on "Save new configuration"
    * Go to the "groups" panel
    * 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")
    * Save your new settings

Then try to upload (using http uploads, even if you experienced troubles using another upload method) - you should get a more detailed error message that tells you what exactly goes wrong with your uploads. If the error message doesn't mean anything to you, search the support board for the error message you get.
When asking for support on the coppermine forum, post a link to your site and a test user account (the test user mustn't be in the admin group!) with upload privileges, with the above mentioned settings in place - this way, supporters can see the error messages as well. Do not post debug_output unless requested.

When people have issues with uploading and decide to post their question on the Coppermine support board, they usually are told to read this upload troubleshooting section. Many of them fail to do so properly, which results in frustration both for users as well as supporters. To make this absolutely clear: the above mentioned steps are absolutely mandatory, no matter what skill level you have, no matter what upload method you have troubles with. Failing to do exactly as suggested will result in your request for help being ignored. Yes, this applies to you. We mean it!

I followed your instruction but how can we upload via url if the uri box is set to "0"

here is the link------> http://fangweile.my-php.net/gallery/

[Joachim Müller]

8. allow_fopen_url - This controls PHP's ability to read files using URL/URIs.  If it is disabled, Coppermine will not be able to upload from URLs.

applies.

There's little point in FTP-uploading pics to your webspace and then using URI uploads (which has all drawbacks of http uploads like browser timeouts). URI uploads are meant to add pics that originally reside on remote webspace.

For clarification, read "URI/URL upload question"

[fangweile]

Thanks a lot. I am now understand
