well heres a good sign

the DB IS updating

i try to upload a pic...and get this error

Error: file 1_photo.jpg not found.
BUT-i look in the picture_name field in the database and it says file 1_photo.jpg !!!

so the DB isnt the problem

please dont give up on me yet-im one of those people who will still be trying this a year from now lol

mav, your image paths are wrong. that is the bottom line. Trust me on this, check your image paths, or make sure your folder is CHMOD correct. Than use the variables that Brad has set in the show picture template, and all is well.

I just reinstalled this script again on portals, and believe me when i say image paths are a direct result of display. I might add, that the script i am using, allows 6 uploads, so there is nothing wrong with the script itself. Please re-read the instructions.

I won't give up on you, as long as you don't give up on my directions! :)

and yes Tora is correct.. did you ever get moved over to using webhost as your host? Cause like I told him.. if you don't have permissions to put a chmodd on a folder under win2k to 777 then this might not work at all..

cause 777 gives users, and admins actually anyone the ability to write and read to that folder.. which is needed.

i see,

but if permissions on the server were the problem-how come the upload attachment feature works?

just curious-it might help me troubleshoot

almost everything works

database updates
paths are correct
if i manually stick the photo in the dir-it pulls up perfect in profile

but it WILL NOT upload!!!!!

have you switched over to webhosts hosting services?

Cause like I said.. he has helped you out with this in the past, instead of coming to me first...

if you are using win2k.. or a windows server, I cannot help you cause I don't know what it might be, but I will tell you this when me and webhost were talking.. it seems that was the problem... your permissions are off.. and I don't know how the file attachment stuff work or anything about that.

right now i am MANUALLY entering their pics into DB and Server
and its working fine....150 users!!lol

Oh well-this hack is worth it

Thank You!!

I am sorry I cannot be of more help... I don't use windows as my server, nor do I have access to one, so I cannot help ya on how to set it up.. and the problems that can occur..

Once again I am sorry if I come off a little like an a--hole.. hopefully here in a couple of weeks... all that is hectic and in total chaos.. will be gone and I will be back to my normal self :D

hopefully.. lol

Has anyone run into this problem:

I've uploaded a .gif & .jpg and it's telling me that my file is not a jpg,gif type.

Can anyone figure out why the hell it's saying this?

It's set like this: $Type_Restrictions = "jpg,gif";

Forget it, guess this won't upload gif's
