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).

How you go about doing this specifically depends on your host/tools. If your host uses cpanel you can use the file manager or even easier nowadays you can use many ftp programs.

Although this is a simple safe change overall file permissions (who can read/write/execute what) are instrumental to site security so in general you should not be mucking around with them if you don't understand. Beyond something simple like this get real life assistance.

I'm getting the blank white page when uploading jpegs with and without any watermarks.

I edited the max res allowed and resize and still the problem happens.

I just have a feeling that any photo that has info attached to it gets the white page.

Anyone have any resolve on this issue?

Edit:

I think any image above 2000x(whatever) gives me the white page. Any image below 2000 gets uploaded perfectly.
So could it be a GD issue?

I absolutely love this hack! Grea job! Works perfectly on my 3.6.0. Is there anyway to make the pictures public by default instead of private? Thanks

I just installed the hack , but not edit the templates , i was going to test it only , then after 24 hours i find that someone uploaded a php shell file named update.php. i delete this file and change the perm to 755 , the question is how this guy upload this file ?

[PondPikey]

Welll Im still unable to generate thumb nails. The only thing I can think of thats different to any other installation is that I installed my forums to the root of the domain instead of forums directory.

Please can someone help or im going to have to uninstall this previoulsy brilliant hack.

Are you suggesting that the file was uploaded via the image host? Its been a while since I looked at it, but I think PHP files are blocked.
