[Solved]: Upload error

[JCphotog]

Hello!

Everything was working smoothly, and I'm not sure what has changed.  I created a new user for a friend and tried to upload a few images into their gallery loging in with their pass word and user name and I recieved this error:

No picture was uploaded !

If you have really selected a picture to upload, check that the server allows file uploads...

I haven't changed any permissions on system what do you suggest might be the error?

Weird, I just tried logging in as another user, and had no problems uploading.  Do you think there is a bad setting some where that I am missing?

[JCphotog]

My bad!   the images I was uploading were larger than the limits I set.

HEY!  I'm actually still haveing this problem! 
the error "No picture was uploaded !

If you have really selected a picture to upload, check that the server allows file uploads..."
thats it exactly... how do i check that the server allows file uploads???  does it use ftp?? what does it use?? thanks! stephen

Did you change the permissions on the upload directories to 777?

[steveymac]

which directory is that?? i don't have one named "upload" 

[steveymac]

well this is strange... i get that error, but it uploads it anyway... know what could be causing that?? lol sorry... its wierd..thanks

That's beyond my knowledge.  I'd start a new topic, so you get some attention from the guru's

Anyone found the solution? I get the same error.

"No picture was uploaded !
If you have really selected a picture to upload, check that the server allows file uploads..."

Everything was great, and now I can't upload pics anymore. I get that error when I try to upload pics one by one. Sometimes it allows me to upload them via batch upload, but most of the time when I try to do it I get another error:

"There was an error while processing a database query".

Thanks in advance

"No picture was uploaded !

Depends on your webserver config. There are some vars in php.ini and apache.conf (that only the server admin can change - if you're webhosted, you can't). Please search this board, there are lengthy threads about this issue. Generally speaking: don't upload pics that a too large in dimensions or filesize.

"There was an error while processing a database query".

Enable debug_mode in coppermine config to see what query actually failed.

Thanks GauGau.
Believe me, I've been searching the board desperately. Today I can upload pics and everything works fine but I'm sure that tomorrow I'll have the same problems again. So it's this instability what is driving me mad, cause at my webserver they keep saying that everything is correct.  

[Joachim Müller]

sure, it depends both on the resolution and the filesize of the pics you're trying to upload. Smaller pics can be uploaded, larger ones can't. I didn't want to say the webserver config is wrong, every webhost has good reasons to set up some limits to keep users from doing things that consume too much resources on the webserver (for the sake of the stability of the webserver).
Trust me: the best thing you can do is resize your pics on your client before you upload them!
