Uploading Attachments or Avatar problem

[VeRT3X]

I am doing coding and design for a client and when trying to upload an attachment (jpg image) or an avatar (gif image) it comes up with this error:

"The uploaded file is not a valid GIF or JPG file. Please ensure that it is and try again."

when clearly its a JPG, under the size restriction and doesnt work for any image files.

When uploading a ZIP file or a TXT file like i tried it gives an error at the top saying that there is something wrong with functions.php with this message:

Warning: open_basedir restriction in effect. File is in wrong directory in /usr/local/psa/home/vhosts/clientforum.url.here/httpdocs/admin/functions.php on line 1719

Warning: fopen("/tmp/php63LiUG","rb") - Operation not permitted in /usr/local/psa/home/vhosts/clientforum.url.here/httpdocs/admin/functions.php on line 1719

I edited the forum url since it is private until release, he is using Plesk control panel (if that matters). Please help, Thank you.

You need to enable safe mode uploading in the vBulleitn options.

i had exactly the same problem with the upload.

now i did that safe mode on, and i made a dir on the server with chmod 777. but still i get errors (other ones as before)


Warning: open_basedir restriction in effect. File is in wrong directory in /usr/local/psa/home/vhosts/dragon.****.net/httpdocs/board/admin/functions.php on line 1737

Warning: stat failed for /images/attach/temp/vbaa788fe4b (errno=2 - No such file or directory) in /usr/local/psa/home/vhosts/dragon.****.net/httpdocs/board/admin/functions.php on line 1741


the 1737 line is this: move_uploaded_file($attachment, "$path");
and
the 1741 line is this: $filesize=filesize($attachment);


any help is welcome!!!
