I just did a fresh install. I have my directories created, uploaded 100+ files via ftp, then went to 'batch upload'. After I pick the directory, in batch upload, and it goes to a kind of intermediate status screen, it shows tiny thumbnails of each pic, with a checkbox on the left to select the files you want to upload. Well out of 100, there are always 3-4 that have a small blue question mark icon.
I can click on the icon and it will display the picture. But after I finish the batch upload and go to view the album, the picture isn't listed, doesn't show up or anything, like it didn't get added.
I have tried deleting the file and re-uploading it again...repeatedly, tried overwriting the file, repeatedly, nothing works. I can view the file on my machine locally, no problem.
So, what am I doing wrong, or how do I fix this?
Thanks in advance.
try a regular http upload first (using the "upload" link from the coppermine navigation). Any particular reason for doing a fresh install of the outdated cpg1.2.x instead of the recommended stable cpg1.3.2 ?

It's bundled with my webhost. :(
I'll try the http upload. Thanks.
Ok, I tried the http upload and got the following error:
The picture 'albums/userpics/10001/BOV1.jpg' can't be inserted in the album
The image you have uploaded is corrupted or can't be handled by the GD library
Warning: imagecreatefromjpeg(): 'albums/userpics/10001/BOV1.jpg' is not a valid JPEG file in /home/inducti/public_html/gallery2/include/picmgmt.inc.php on line 176
How can the picture be corrupted or not a valid JPEG, if I can view it in my browser and a couple of graphics programs?
The GD image library can not handle all file formats your browser or other apps can. Do as suggested, test with a known good jpeg file first (e.g. one from our demo page).
You should update coppermine anyway, even if it came bundled with your webspace,
