Topic: problems with avitat
I am having problems adding an avitar to my profile. the image is 50x 60 pixels at 72 ppi jpg. when i up load i get a message saying the server was not able to upload the image.
Thanks,
Re: problems with avitat
Have you checked the permissions?
Re: problems with avitat
yeah i checked that out and everything is cool with that, but I am still getting the message that the server will not upload the avatar.
Re: problems with avitat
I saw in an archived message a solution that worked for a person that had the same problem as i do. That was to chmod the avatar directory using 777, but i dont know what that means to chmod the directory. Do chmod just the avatar file?
Re: problems with avitat
Well, no. You chmod the avatar directory itself. If you are using an FTP client to do it, it should just be a matter of right-clicking the avatar-directory and selecting something like "Change permissions" or something similar. Then, enter 777 or make sure that all checkboxes are checked.

Re: problems with avitat
Forgive me, Im an idiot - I am using DW - unfortunatly there is nothing like "change permissions" when i right click the avatar file. I just type the chmod into the ftp log thing, but i cant get it to work. Could you recommend and FTP client that has the feature you are talkinb about. Preferably a free one.
Thanks
Re: problems with avitat
Actually, I just figured out how to correctly CHMOD in Dreamweaver, but I am still getting the same error message. The CHMOD I am using is
site chmod 777 /var/www/html/img/avatars
it says successful, but when i try to upload the avatar I am still getting the same message.
I am at a loss
Re: problems with avitat
What is the exact error message you get?

The server was unable to save the uploaded file. Please contact the forum administrator at ...
Re: problems with avitat
Ok, open up profile.php and look up the following piece of code:
if ($uploaded_file['type'] == 'image/gif')
{
$temp = @move_uploaded_file($uploaded_file['tmp_name'], $pun_config['o_avatars_dir'].'/'.$id.'.gif');
@chmod($pun_config['o_avatars_dir'].'/'.$id.'.gif', 0644);
@unlink($pun_config['o_avatars_dir'].'/'.$id.'.jpg');
@unlink($pun_config['o_avatars_dir'].'/'.$id.'.png');
}
else if ($uploaded_file['type'] == 'image/jpeg' || $uploaded_file['type'] == 'image/pjpeg')
{
$temp = @move_uploaded_file($uploaded_file['tmp_name'], $pun_config['o_avatars_dir'].'/'.$id.'.jpg');
@chmod($pun_config['o_avatars_dir'].'/'.$id.'.jpg', 0644);
@unlink($pun_config['o_avatars_dir'].'/'.$id.'.gif');
@unlink($pun_config['o_avatars_dir'].'/'.$id.'.png');
}
else if ($uploaded_file['type'] == 'image/png' || $uploaded_file['type'] == 'image/x-png')
{
$temp = @move_uploaded_file($uploaded_file['tmp_name'], $pun_config['o_avatars_dir'].'/'.$id.'.png');
@chmod($pun_config['o_avatars_dir'].'/'.$id.'.png', 0644);
@unlink($pun_config['o_avatars_dir'].'/'.$id.'.gif');
@unlink($pun_config['o_avatars_dir'].'/'.$id.'.jpg');
}Replace it with this:
if ($uploaded_file['type'] == 'image/gif')
{
$temp = move_uploaded_file($uploaded_file['tmp_name'], $pun_config['o_avatars_dir'].'/'.$id.'.gif');
@chmod($pun_config['o_avatars_dir'].'/'.$id.'.gif', 0644);
@unlink($pun_config['o_avatars_dir'].'/'.$id.'.jpg');
@unlink($pun_config['o_avatars_dir'].'/'.$id.'.png');
}
else if ($uploaded_file['type'] == 'image/jpeg' || $uploaded_file['type'] == 'image/pjpeg')
{
$temp = move_uploaded_file($uploaded_file['tmp_name'], $pun_config['o_avatars_dir'].'/'.$id.'.jpg');
@chmod($pun_config['o_avatars_dir'].'/'.$id.'.jpg', 0644);
@unlink($pun_config['o_avatars_dir'].'/'.$id.'.gif');
@unlink($pun_config['o_avatars_dir'].'/'.$id.'.png');
}
else if ($uploaded_file['type'] == 'image/png' || $uploaded_file['type'] == 'image/x-png')
{
$temp = move_uploaded_file($uploaded_file['tmp_name'], $pun_config['o_avatars_dir'].'/'.$id.'.png');
@chmod($pun_config['o_avatars_dir'].'/'.$id.'.png', 0644);
@unlink($pun_config['o_avatars_dir'].'/'.$id.'.gif');
@unlink($pun_config['o_avatars_dir'].'/'.$id.'.jpg');
}Then try again. It won't work now either, but you should get a more informative error message.

Re: problems with avitat
I did, and you are right, I still cannot upload it. It is giving me the same message except now this is on the top of the page:
Warning: move_uploaded_file(): SAFE MODE Restriction in effect. The script whose uid is 680 is not allowed to access / owned by uid 0 in /home/virtual/site177/fst/var/www/html/profile.php on line 372
Re: problems with avitat
Also, while you are at it....I have another problem with categories - I added some new ones under admin and everything looks fine except they are not showing up on the message board. Only one is showing, and I set their orders...ie. 1,2,3 etc.
Sorry for the added request,
Thanks
Re: problems with avitat
nevermind duh.. .figured the categories thing out now

Hmm, what have you set your "Upload directory" to in admin/options? It should most likely be img/avatars.
