Avatar Problems

Well, we could do a little trial and error. First, open up profile.php and go to line 342. It looke something like this:

$temp = @move_uploaded_file($uploaded_file['tmp_name'], $options['avatars_dir'].'/'.$id.'.gif');

There, remove the @ in front of move_uploaded_file. Do the same on lines 348 and 354. Then try uploading a file again and see if PHP outputs a warning. If it does, paste it here.

If that doesn't work, we'll try the following. Go to line 359. It looks something like this:

if (!$temp)

Before that line, enter:

dump($uploaded_file);

Then paste here what is outputted on the screen when you try to upload.

Remove the @ before move_uploaded_file on lines 342, 348 and 354. Try again and then paste the error message you get here.

Yeah, it's a permission problem. I don't know anything about your server, so it's hard to tell you what to do. I usually set the webserver user as owner of the avatar directory and chmod it to 755.

chown nobody:nobody avatars
chmod 755 avatars

Yeah, but who owns the directory? If you don't know how to change the owner, try chmodding it to 777.

When I upload avatars, it uploads them chmod 666. How do i make them upload to chmod 755 or anything readable. My avatars folder is 777. Help, and also how do you assign a mod to a forum??

and what line do i put this code??
