Discussion & Troubleshooting / Re: Error uploading image file

« on: February 21, 2011, 09:29:55 AM »

I have the exact same problem.

Iīm getting (in member.php):

Error uploading image file:

Thatīs it!

When i tried to upload true the admin panel, i got:

Error uploading image file: test.jpg
test.jpg: Copy error. Please check the directory permissions.

No database entry!

I know that the permissions are correct, (regarding to the docs).

Any solution for this?
(Iīm using the GD library.)

EDIT:
I just saw that no folders were created in /data/media/* or /data/thumbnails/ *, though I have created several categories in the admin panel.
I created the missing folders with itīs category id and now it works.

Maybe someone could fix this so folders ARE created when adding new categories in admin?

Thank you.

I am a newbie and had this problem for two days until I read your edit.  I realized then, that my mistake (and I am sure many who had/have this problem) - was that I assigned permissions AFTER I had created the categories - in my eagerness to show my gallery to people asap.

The simple solution is - work on the permission FIRST before doing anything else!  THIS HAS to be EMPHASIZED in the instruction manual.  To some of us who are not programmers (but can understand how software works etc.), details like this don't come naturally.

Now everything works ... I just have to tweak and add MODS.  This gallery is really good, relatively easy to install and use (compared to other galleries, and I have used most of them, including the expensive ones) and I am sure will be easy to custom to my and my users' taste.
