Major Additions - VB image Hosting

VB Image Hosting Version 1.0.1

This is the port for my hack to vb 3.6.x
check it for vb 3.5.x here

A New installer replaced the old one so you should not face any problems with database

NOTE :
People who were using vbimghost in vb 3.5.x and moved to vb 3.6.0 MAKE sure that you have vbimghost 1.4.1 Since this port will only support upgrading from that ver only
People who do a fresh install use this ver.

Requirements:

1. requires GD 2.0.1 or later (2.0.28 or later is recommended).
2. PHP ver 4.3.x or later (newer ver is better).

NOTE:
before you post any error here :
Set that path to your forums correctly in the vbimghost options.
if you getting the error ""supplied argument is not a valid"
that's because you didn't set the path correctly

And for all the people asking when is the next release it will be in 2007 not this month .. due to some problems in real life ..



URGENT ISSUES:

I haven't had such issues, Tom. If you didn't make any changes to the mod or added other mods and this just started happening, I'd contact the host.

[Tom_S]

I did contact them and they are saying this is the issue:
Fri Feb 9 17:01:38 2007: used 30.03 seconds of cpu time for HTTP Request: mywebsite.com : GET /member/vbimghost.php?do=upload

At the exact time this happened the server I am on the load was at 10.09 (4 cpus). I am ready to move from bluehost. I have been with them since they started but they are all about the money now and not the client. ACK!

You are correct in assuming I did nothing to the mod. It has been running fine until this.

Thanks..I appreciate the confirmation.

30 seconds of CPU time seems like a lot. Do you have a slow upload and they are maybe counting the whole time the connection is open?

[Tom_S]

I wan't uploading anything. I only clicked the upload link to give me the page to upload a file. This is the time it was taking just to open the upload page which it never did. The issue was on their side. It is shared hosting. We are forever now running into other accounts zapping the server such as I pointed out that at the time I was attempting this our server load was at 10.09 (4 cpus) which nothing will work for anyone when this is doing this.

They however wish to blame it on you if you contact them and tell you to modify your scripts to run the minimum load possible for the server. As it stands the box we are on has 840 shared accounts and they say accumulating 500 plus per day.

I really was hoping it was an issue that was a simple fix others were having but I knew it was my host and not the mod.

TOM, I too rent from bluehost & have been having major problems with them,....but this is going
off topic. There is a thread regarding host problems here on vb.org. I have a dedicated ip, I also get the most you can get from bluehost, I haven't yet had the problem you are having with them about this particular mod. Feel free to pm me or visit my site to share our troubles about bluehost.

[Tom_S]

Bless you Brother! I knew I wasn't going crazy!

I will PM you

Ranma2k ~ Since the images are not renamed when uploading, what happens if a user uploads two pictures with the same name, or if two users upload pictures with the same name? Is this something you've taken into account?

[Tom_S]

Here is something to take into account. First. I am paying for professional webhosting. Second, when you click this link: http://myhost.com/forum/vbimghost.php?do=upload
This error occurs. No matter if there is one member or twenty members. How is it you explain that?

[Merriweather]

Sorry, Tom, when I wrote my post above yours, I put your name on it, but I mean to ask the mod author.

[Tom_S]

Sorry Merriweather...I have been so frustarated I seen something that just wasn't there.
