image upload error

[thomahawk]

Hello all

This topic came up some times, but no solution to it. So here I come too with that: Fresh installed 1.4 of cmsms (my first), permissions set to 777 for the upload folder. And still when I try upload a small jpg image in Image Manager, there comes only the error message: "File could not be uploaded. This could be a permissions or Safe mode problem?"

I am using the installation locally with XAMPP on a Mac OSX. XAMPP has GD installed, version 2 or higher.

Interesting to mention is also that in Image Manager: The logo1.jpg that is part of the cmsms install doesnt show up. There is only a placeholder with pixel size, neither the tumbnails nor the image itself (in edit) is showing up. The same when I put my jpgs directly into uploads/images, it does generate a thumbnail and shows a placeholder in Image manager, but doesnt show the images.

Please HELP,

Thomas

System Info for the upload path shows green "OK symbol"

uploads_url: /Applications/xampp/xamppfiles/htdocs/cms/uploads (0777)
image_uploads_path: /Applications/xampp/xamppfiles/htdocs/cms/uploads/images (0777)

image_uploads_path: /Applications/xampp/xamppfiles/htdocs/cms/uploads/images (0777)

You have a strange conf or it's a paste error
url and path are same?
uploads_url must be /cms/uploads and not /Applications/xampp/xamppfiles/htdocs/cms/uploads

Well, thats a point.
I think it is because I have a local installation, the Xampp server is on my own machine and the root url is http://localhost/cms

Everything that needs a path in config Information is under the same rooth path
root_path:/Applications/xampp/xamppfiles/htdocs/cms

I mean if thats bad, then I suppose nothing would work then, wouldn't it?

I work with xampp (for win) but I have not this.
Re-install (install/index.php) and uncheck create tables and simple contents in step 5.
This rewrite config.php

I saw already in install step 6 that the installer took the same path as before, so I changed it there to "cms" which is the folder inside htdocs, where I have cmsms installed. But Now I have several error messages, right inside IMage Manager it says in red letters Invalid base directory: cms/uploads/images and system info doesnt even come up, it says "string(55) "Smarty error: unable to read resource: "systeminfo.tpl""

So I suppose the path as set before (defined by cmsms itself) was right...

Try to change all in final config.php

Yes I see, its stored there in config.php – and I know I have to restart xampp after that. But the question is, what path should I use?

Upload a file php with:

Code: Select all

<?php phpinfo(); ?>

And look paths

[thomahawk]

a path example from phpinfo.php looks like this:

Configuration File (php.ini) Path /Applications/xampp/etc

But what does that tell me about how to setup cmsms?

[alby]

Configuration File (php.ini) Path /Applications/xampp/etc

No, for example:

path look _SERVER["SCRIPT_FILENAME"]
url look _SERVER["PHP_SELF"]

Alby

On the phpinfo.php page that comes up, there is nothing with "path look", "url look" nor any word "look"

Shure I did not understand how to do this...

On the phpinfo.php page that comes up, there is nothing with "path look", "url look" nor any word "look"

It was very synthetic ...

For paths look to value relative to _SERVER["SCRIPT_FILENAME"]

For urls look to value relative to _SERVER["PHP_SELF"]

Alby

[thomahawk]

Well, its late, sorry 

I see relatively the same there:

_SERVER["SCRIPT_FILENAME"] /Applications/xampp/xamppfiles/htdocs/phpinfo.php

_SERVER["PHP_SELF"] /phpinfo.php



I have already tried "/cms" or "cms" or should it be "/htdocs/cms"?
Only with "/Applications/xampp/xamppfiles/htdocs/cms" do most things work, except image upload....
