User uploaded pictures not showing

Having read the documentation, searched the forum and tried tweaking the Groups, Users, Config and Admin Tools settings I am unable to solve a problem with user-uploads to my 10mm photo gallery.

FTP uploads to my server followed by an admin running of the batch upload tool works perfectly, but when a user uploads a picture the displayimage pages only show a placeholder. Checking on my server the user-uploaded images all exist - intermediates, thumbnails and main images - where the placeholder says they do, and they can also be downloaded and viewed normally via ftp - but if I use a browser to try to link directly to the images I get a code 500 Server Error.

Because of the 500 error I appreciate this may be a problem with my server or site setup, but as it only seems to apply to user-uploaded images it may well be coppermine-configuration related hence this post

I've therefore set debug to show for everyone, limited the image uploads to just one, and created a user login name for testing is "test", password "test1". 

many thanks in advance

Sorry - here is a link to a page showing the placeholders instead of images.

http://www.madaxeman.com/gallery/thumbnails.php?album=lastup&cat=2

The placeholders also show when CPM Fetch is used to pull in the last-uploaded image - as in on this page http://www.madaxeman.com/index.php half way down the right column

If anyone can give me an opinion as to whether this is likley to be a Coppermine issue that would be great.

thanks

The error itself told you what to do ;)  They should fix the problem everytime a '500' shows up.

Hmmm - technically that email address comes to me ??? But its beyond my ability level to fix  :-[

I'll get onto my ISP and ask - maybe the hosting setup I have somehow doesn't like uploads that aren't done via ftp and/or a registered site admin account? Once I know I'll post back...

Turns out there was an .htaccess file in the picture upload folder which was blocking it.

The file had the line

php_engine = 0

My ISP suggested it may be a legacy from an older version of coppermineto fix a security flaw?

Anyway, all fixed now, thanks for looking into it for me. I will endeavour to mark this "solved"

The .htacess file was in the userpics folder, and I ftp'd this file out, removed the line from the file and ftp'ed it back up to my site

No coppermine version ever came with a .htaccess file in any folder, so it can't be a leftover from a previous version, but must be something that you or your webhost deliberately added.
Anyway, thanks for returning and posting your solution.
