security violation?

[justsandy]

i need a little help...

first, i am new to coppermine so apologize if this is something obvious.  however, i am kind of flying blind because this is a copy that was installed for me by a hosting provider...

i have created a few albums...  if i try to upload anything, i always get the same vanilla error message ("security violation...IP logged" or something very similar).  this seems to happen on the db_input.php page (thats what URL is displayed).  i could not find this message in coppermine php files (i really tried to figure this out myself!).  is this something i need to configure (i'm uploading as admin user, so hopefully not a permissions issue?), or something i should ask my provider?

even though i have not uploaded yet, i must say i really like the look and feel of coppermine.  thanks everyone for your hard work! 

thank you!

That error does not sound familiar.  Could you provide a screenshot or a link?

sure...  exact message is,

"Security rules violation. Your IP is logged. Please click here."

i thought this mean some sort of permissions issue, but don't see what i am doing wrong.  my only thought was it may be something configured improperly or by design that i do not understand, because it was configured by 3rd-party (including database)...  the error occurs when trying to upload as admin or registered user, in any album (i created a few and gave registered users access).  i could not find the message in php, so figured i should ask my host...  but wanted to make sure first.

thanks again,
sandy

This error message is definitely not from the coppermine package we provide, so I guess it has been added by those who installed it for you. Please post a link to your page as suggested by Hyperion.

Sounds like handiwork of some smart alecky Sys Admin - who has disabled file uploads and added messages - can you upload file via PHP using any other application? I suspect the answer would be no...

Ask you host.
