Fault: unable to upload any pics

[xtreme]

hi i am currently receiving the following error:
Impossible to move Sample.jpg to albums/userpics/ !

ï"¿
Warning: move_uploaded_file(albums/userpics/Sample.jpg): failed to open stream: Permission denied in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\db_input.php on line 258

Warning: move_uploaded_file(): Unable to move 'C:\PHP\uploadtemp\php5.tmp' to 'albums/userpics/Sample.jpg' in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\db_input.php on line 258

the thing is  have been uploading my pics for a while now , & all of a sudden i cant any more.

is there any possability that id my webserver has suddenly rebooted , due to power failure , some of the php files might have been corupted.
i have checked my directory permisions , i have tried debug mode but that does not show any symptoms.

should i try silly safe mode ?

gaugau , at a gues which file would you think might be corupted for this problem to occur ?

[Joachim Müller]

please watch the thread I linked instead of posting on this one - there's a guess at the bottom by oasis that I find very likely to be true.

gau gau , i am not really worried at the moment why , i am getting strange characters , my biggest problem currently is that  i am not able to upload any pics at all

i will keep track of the other tread , for the solution.

Check the chmod permissions on your userpics directory, should be 777.

[xtreme]

I am running a Windows IIS server.
but when i log in with a ftp app i have set the directory of albums to 777

i was wondering if it couldnt be a corrupt file perhaps

[Nibbler]

and userpics ?

[Joachim Müller]

erm, Windows IIS and CHMOD :wink: ? Come on, be real... There's no CHMOD in Windows you can set using ftp (but of course there's an equivalent: file permissions for IUSR_hostname).

OK , i have checked the following:
IUSR has a guest account ,

& i have checked all the directories & they have read & write access enabled.

have a look.

user: cpm
pass: support

[Casper]

Ok,
I logged on, and was unable to upload, because there are no albums which I had permission to upload to, and user cpm has no rights to create his own albums.

Please enable at least one album for the group cpm is in, so we can test this.  Or place cpm in a group with rights for personal albums.

[xtreme]

Ok , i have given the user cpm  its own group & i have created a album.

please can you have a look now.


Thanks casper.. well spoted.
i am such a noob  :roll:

I figure I'll post here instead of creating a new thread, since I can't upload stuff either.

After a fresh first-time install, all I get is "Impossible to move" when uploading a file from my local computer, and "Cannot create write file" when I load an image URL.

I'm guessing it's something with write permissions somewhere, but I've chmodded all required directories as instructed during the install.

Any hints, anyone?

[Joachim Müller]

check the documentation that comes with coppermine, chapter Safe mode issues. Your problem is probably not related to xtreme's.

guys , i was wondering if this would help .
when i get the error:

Code Select Expand


Warning: move_uploaded_file(albums/userpics/Sample.jpg): failed to open stream: Permission denied in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\db_input.php on line 258

Warning: move_uploaded_file(): Unable to move 'C:\PHP\uploadtemp\php5.tmp' to 'albums/userpics/Sample.jpg' in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\db_input.php on line 258

i am not trying to upload to my userpics album , but it looks like it is trying to upload there anyway ...
might this be where the problem lies ?

[Joachim Müller]

yes, this is related. There's a folder for temporary files on your server the script needs write access to. Make sure IUSR_something and the other I_don't_remember_it's name_hostname (user name starting with capital "I" and hostname at the end) user have write access to 'C:\PHP\uploadtemp\'.

gaugau , thanks ..but i have added those two user's to the uploadtemp dir & still same error .

i need you advise. i have been able to upload fine in the past .about  1month ago. but since then i havnt played with the configuration of cpm or the server at all.  i thinking that this has got o have happened when we had those series of power failures in my area..
i.e. causing some coruption  in the files !!!

now what i want to know .would it help me to reinstall php or cpm ...
even though i have modified some file .. this will tell me whether it is a cpm/php or server config prob ..

what ur your recommendation Please!!

[omniscientdeveloper]

I would say reinstall coppermine first, if you're sure permissions are set correctly.

[Echo5ive]

I tried using define('SILLY_SAFE_MODE', 1);, but I still can't upload pictures -- I get the same error messages. This is really ticking me off now...

[xtreme]

guys , i have reinstalled cpm & same prob

is there a way i can test whether php  is working 100% without reinstalling ?

can i re-install /over install php4 on windowsXP , withouh causing moe damage ?


please guys i am losing hope that i am going to get this fixed !!!
