Hi,

can you check with ftp if the file has been uploaded (and if there's still something in the tmp folder)?

Regards, Carolien

yes, just as before, the images are uploaded, but nothing further.

do you mean public_html/tmp- no there is nothing there..

Hi,

is a 'thumbs' folder available in your images folder (so a subfolder of images/phocagallery/yourfolder)?
This folder needs to be writable and in worst case this means permission rights 777.
Is the owner of the folder the ftp user or apache?

Regards, Carolien

no thumbs folder is created automatically, I tried creating one and making it 777 but still no luck.
The owner of the folder is the ftpuser
thanks

Hi,

what are the rights of the original images (the ones you uploaded)

Regards, Carolien

I am having the same issues as patg.

I can upload an image through the front end. To be precise, I go into a category as an authorized user. It already has some images in it, and I can see their thumbs. I scroll down to the comment field, switch to the upload tab.

I upload a jpg, wait, then when the page returs it says "unable to upload file".
I then check in the backend, and the file has indeed been uploaded, but no thumb was created.

Thumb creation is generally enabled. I can add an image with thumb creation just fine through the backend.
I have also tried to 777 the entire tree, but to no avail.

The plugin runs on Joomla 1.5, which in turn runs on a linux vserver.

Any ideas what else I could try?

Thanks,
Frank

Hi everyone,

I found that my problem is a "bug" in Joomla. I just did what is written in this thread at joomla.or : http://forum.joomla.org/viewtopic.php?f=199&t=416166

A line was missing in the file.php from a previous version to a current version of joomla. That was all.
I've added it, and bang, it just worked.

I should have realized that before, because I also had that error message from the media manager backend upload, which I ignored, because the images/files have been uploaded despite the error message in the backend.

Hope that this will help others with a similar problem.

Frank

Ok

so does the 1.5.14 update fix this?
is there hope?
