Uploading Pictures
« on: May 17, 2007, 04:36:04 AM »
I think I have installed 1.7.4 correctly.  I have setup a category successfully and added pictures from a URL.  However, when I try to upload from my local machine, my browser throws an error "The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading."

I suspect this is related to my hosting company (awardspace.com) as I've had a ton of problems with setting up other software (what do you expect for free, right?)

At first, I suspected directory permissions, but went back to the install docs and verified I changed the following directories to 777:
data
data/database
data/media
data/thumbnails
data/tmp_media
data/tmp_thumbnails

I have tried to upload both through the index.php and admin/index.php with the same error.

What is different about uploading from a local computer and loading from a URL?

Sounds like a timeout error.
Do they allow you to upload larger files via the web?

Yeah, I've had issues with big files and/or long uploads.  Let me try with a real small picture...

yup, that was it.  I successfully uploaded a 7k file.  Time for a real hosting plan now I guess...
