View Full Version : Avatar problems? jtace 12-30-2001, 09:44 AM From what I read there seems to be avatar problems. I made some changes yesterday night to the server, are there still problems with them? If so I'll try a few other things. Remko 12-30-2001, 10:16 AM I'm sorry, but I still get the The uploaded file is not a valid GIF or JPG file. Please ensure that it is and try again. message when I try to upload my 100 x 50 pixels, 4 kb 'license plate' jpeg. I've tried it both from the web and from my own harddrive... anybody else been lucky? While I'm at it, I'll also try if attachments work: (30 sec. later) nope, same 'invalid' message... odd, huh? :confused: TraffikD 12-30-2001, 10:54 AM testing attatchments... note: the attached file should have stuff in it; it doesnt. TraffikD 12-30-2001, 10:55 AM nope, attatchments dont work. also tried attaching an image, but i get invalid gif/jpg errors, even though i know the images i tried attaching were valid. [SK]agent 12-30-2001, 12:16 PM I too get the 'uploaded file' error Remko posted tring to change my avatar - one thing, when I click on change avatar on the user cp options page, I get a brief dialog saying 'thanks for submitting my changes', then the change page actually comes up. ...if that is of any consequence :confused: jtace 12-30-2001, 01:06 PM I've changed an option... gona test it out now. Remko 12-30-2001, 05:48 PM I just tried to upload it again... it appeared to work... <---- a red [x].... we're getting there... :p Remko 12-30-2001, 05:53 PM Attachment test.... hmm, no dice. TraffikD 12-31-2001, 07:55 AM maybe the directory where uploads are headed isn't set 777. just a thought. :p jtace 12-31-2001, 08:42 AM hmm... it's a step in the right direction.. let me test another item out... I'll post when to test some more avatars... jtace 01-02-2002, 09:43 AM Hmm... still having avatar problems... I've done what I can think to try right now, I'll put it on my list of things to fix.

We'll have to look into it.. jtace 01-05-2002, 08:27 AM testing... jtace 01-05-2002, 08:34 AM testing again... Mike Henderson 01-05-2002, 12:13 PM Hmm, I wonder if the changes I made are overwritten whenever the server is rebooted, or when something else is changed? TraffikD 01-05-2002, 07:31 PM ok, i just decided to test avatars on our boards over at NCOPS, and guess what, they don't work either for some reason. our boards are phpBB and not VBulletin. maybe there is something up with permissions and php uploads on the server. i don't know, but it cant just be a coincidence that this board and the board over at ncops that is running a totally different board software can't use avatars. TraffikD 01-05-2002, 08:09 PM can you get someone with access to the server's php.ini to check the following vars out: post_max_size = 8M ; Maximum size of POST data that PHP will accept file_uploads = On ; Whether to allow HTTP file uploads upload_max_filesize = 2M ; Maximum allowed size for uploaded files the settings may be different, but the problems on the server might stem there. :p Mike Henderson 01-06-2002, 12:18 AM Originally posted by DPK can you get someone with access to the server's php.ini to check the following vars out: the settings may be different, but the problems on the server might stem there. :p The problem is with open_basedir. I changesd it before, to allow it to upload fies to the /tmp directory (which is where all the avatars/attachments get uploaded to before they are moved to their final location). But all the changes I made were deleted when apache overwrote the file :( So I have a feeling that is going ot happen EVERY time either a new site is made, or the server is rebooted... TraffikD 01-06-2002, 05:49 AM ouch... DOHC 01-06-2002, 07:47 AM That sux, i have a cool avatar too but i cant use it!!! ohh well hope you guys can get it fixed jtace 01-06-2002, 08:25 AM Hmm... now that is annoying, Next time you catch me on ICQ Mike we'll talk and see if we can't figure a way around it. TraffikD 01-06-2002, 09:10 AM can't u just get techies to kill the server, modify php.ini or any other config and then reboot? the server should then accept the new changes, at least it does on my test server running apache. jtace 01-06-2002, 09:41 AM It does, but the problem isn't apache or the server, it's Plesk, the fancy control panel. It overwrites the httpd.include file everytime it creates a new hosted site. So there goes any custom settings. It's not too hard for Mike or myself to go and add that bit in after we add a new site and fix it up again, but it's just one more thing for us to remember... heh.. ;) TraffikD 01-06-2002, 02:54 PM can u modify the plesk code then ? :) Scott 01-06-2002, 04:36 PM test 1 :) Scott 01-06-2002, 04:44 PM test 2 :confused: Scott 01-06-2002, 04:48 PM Sig Good! -^ Avatar No Good! :( jtace 01-06-2002, 05:36 PM hmm... dunno exactly what needs to be done to get the avatars working again, have to check with Mike... DPK: Unfortunately not directly by myself, it's all done in precompiled PHP so we can't change anything. =[ knightman 01-06-2002, 08:13 PM yeah im still having trouble with the avatars, gone thru so many sizes.. knightman:help: :PC: :slap: Mike Henderson 01-06-2002, 11:30 PM testing Mike Henderson 01-06-2002, 11:32 PM Hmm, looks like I may have fixed it, hopefully for good :PC:.... if this attachment works, then hopefully it Is fixed for good *crosses fingers* Edit: Whooo :D Now we wait and hope it stays fixed Scott 01-06-2002, 11:34 PM woo hoo!
