Upload of file failed. (Avatars, Attachments, etc...)

[RichieBoy67]

Have you checked server logs?

The diagnostics upload tool uses the tmp directory to test the upload, it doesn't actually test it for the other folders vBulletin uses. My second guess is that your web-server or PHP doesn't have the right (group) permissions set to touch files in the document root.

I updated all files and folders with the correct owner, and its still not working. It must be something with PHP. I am looking through the configs now.

Yeah Dave, that is what I'm talking about, file ownership. The user for the site/domain has to have permissions for vbulletin to upload to the public directory.

Server logs would confirm this.

I am downloading the server log now. Its a very big log file. But I will post the most up-to-date part of the file when its done.

Update: There is no mention of any errors coming from vbulletin in the error log.

[RichieBoy67]

Did you set up error logs for Vbulletin in the admincp? I am not sure if debugging would help but wouldn't hurt to try turning it on in the config for a few minutes.

Have you tried temporarily disabling the mods? Also in Linux have you set permissions for the directory that your site is in through the terminal? I know from my experience using Linux that sometimes if you try to do it anywhere else for some strange reason it will not take.

[thetechgenius]

Yes, I have the vB logs write to a file. No logs to show. And yes, I disabled all mods in using the config file, and no luck there.

EDIT: I have tried everything I can think of right now. But I will fix it, some how, some way, eventually it will come to me, it always does. lol.

Sorry for putting everyone through this, its just bugging me. I hate coming across a problem like this and not being able to fix it. I mean this is vBulletin, PHP, and Linux. How hard can it be? lol. I bet its nothing hard either, just a simple setting or configuration that is off (or on) that I overlooked. It always turns out that way with servers and web development. Its because there are so many settings and configs to keep track of, and all kinds of different services and scripts, and just one setting on any one of those could be the problem. I will have to look deep in the configs of my server and vB tomorrow.

Oh and by the way, I own this server. Actually, my vB is running on multiple servers all at once. I have 5 servers setup, 1 for MySQL, 1 for Web Server (and other web related services), 1 for Network (Network Switch), 1 for Server Storage, and the last is for Offline Backup Storage. The backup storage server is not connected to the net, its just connected to the other servers locally.

So if anyone have any ideas on how I can fix this problem with Uploading Avatars, Attachments, etc... That requires physical access to the server cabinet, let me know, because I do have physical access to the servers.

And thank you, everyone that is trying there best to help me with this issue!

You have your MySQL on a separate server from the web server where your files are stored? If so have you tried having the files & database on the same server. From past experience vBulletin does not usually play well when its split up between hosts or servers. So maybe, its a long shot, but that could be a potential problem unless you have some setup that caters to ensuring that it works separate.

[RichieBoy67]

Well a temporary fix would probably be to serve your attachments, etc from the database.

Strange that you are not showing anything in your logs. Maybe try to view your processes real time in the command console and try to upload at the same time. You just may catch the error there.
