I am having the identical issues as nfried with the identical configuration.

CHMOD correct
Nuffload disabled

Again, file permissions are set correctly. GD, however, does not seem to be supported:

Well there's your problem. :wink:
Ask your host about installing GD for you, or maybe try using Manual Thumbnail option in ACP

ignorantnewguy, are you missing GD Support as well ?

Yes, I am missing GD Support, as well - or so says my Config.

What is GD Support? If I try to put it on my dedicated server, what is it?

I changed to Manual Thumbnail and got an error message after trying to upload one picture and the same after trying to upload 4 pictures:

Quote:
The number of uploaded pictures and thumbnails doesn't match.

Probably easy to fix, but I don't know how.

if i am not mistaken, GD support is required to build the thumbnails pictures etc so before anything else, ensure GD support is installed and enabled on your server.

Post subject: Re: Upload Issue(s)

Can you explain what "GD Support" is? I need to see if I can get that on my server, but I have no idea what it is, where to get it or anything of the sort. I have a dedicated server, so I can put what I want on there, but I need to track this down first.

Thx

What is the GD library?

GD is an open source code library for the dynamic creation of images by programmers. GD creates PNG, JPEG and GIF images, among other formats. GD is commonly used to generate charts, graphics, thumbnails, and most anything else, on the fly. While not restricted to use on the web, the most common applications of GD involve web site development.

GD is written in C and various binding are available. See a non exaustive list here .

The library was originally developped by Thomas Boutell and is now maintained by Pierre-A. Joye under the umbrella of PHP.net.

Thx for the GD links. I'll check it out and see if I feel comfortable enough with putting that on the server.

Any idea what this issue might be?

I'm just guessing here, but I suspect you are having the issue as me when it comes to using the Manual Thumbnail option.
There should be a file input for uploading a thumbnail, immediately below the file input for the pic.... for me there is not one for the thumbnail, but I do not know why it doesn't appear. :?

I should have fixed it in FAP 1.4.0... are you still missing it? :roll:

ignorantnewguy, you can check your GD settings in ACP => Photo Album => GD Info.

I'll check again the Thumbnail field.

Regarding GD, I cannot see where he states his GD config... he said that he has the same config as nfried, but he didn't post it... so I thought he couldn't find it.

Anyway, I put GD libraries in older FAP contrib pack...

But here you are again:

Code: [Hide]

Windows - PHP & GD2 
 
Prerequisites
 
Read the main windows chapter before reading and sub-chapters. 
 
Must have functioning web server installed 
 
PHP >= 4.3 for the GD2 extension available here 
 
About this Document
 
This document will point you where to get PHP and also provide help on enabling GD2 for the graph generation in Psychostats. By default GD2 comes with the zip distribution of PHP >= 4.3 but it is disabled. If you have an older version of PHP and are unable to upgrade please see the PHP Documentation for information about getting GD2 to work. 
 
Installing PHP
 
First thing you need to do is download the PHP installer which can be found on the PHP Downloads page.
 
IIS - Download the MSI package and run it. Follow the on screen prompts and PHP should install itself into IIS. (More Detailed Instructions Comping Soon) 
 
Apache - Download the zip distribution because it has to be installed manually. You can install with the MSI first to get all the files in place but you will need extra files from the zip download to install the API version of PHP which is recommended. See the install.txt for installation instructions for apache. (More Detailed Instructions Comping Soon) 
 
Enabling GD2 
 
If you used only the MSI installer you will not have the GD2 extension installed on your system. We have just the GD2 extension for download here, this is the same file that is available with the full PHP 4.3.4 zip distribution. Extract the php_gd2.dll into C:PHPextensions (this may be a different folder if you did not accept the default installation directory). If that folder does not exist inside your PHP folder then create it. 
 
Open C:windowsphp.ini or C:winntphp.ini (depending on your system setup) in your favorite text editor (notepad works). Use the find function to search for extension_dir, in notepad use the Edit menu and select Find. For the default PHP installtion this needs to be set to:
 
extension_dir = "C:PHPextensions" 
 
If you installed PHP to a different folder adjust this accordingly. Now search for gd2, you should see a line like this:
 
;extension=php_gd2.dll
 
Simply remove the ";" in front of the line to un comment it so it looks like this
 
extension=php_gd2.dll
 
Then restart your web server application and GD2 should be working.
 
To test to see if GD is working just browse to the testgd.php file in your statsroot. ( http://yoursite.com/stats/testgd.php )

MG, I did check the thumbnail thing here at Icy Phoenix and it works fine.... don't know why it doesn't work on my sites.

ignorantnewguy [ Thu 12 Apr, 2007 05:48 ]
Post subject: Re: Upload Issue(s)

Thanks for the GD2 info. Looks like I've got a little project on my hands. : ) Just need to figure out SSH and then get into the server. Just more to learn, I guess.

GD2 is not enabled on my server, btw. That answers that question above.

If it turns out I have to run with the Manual Thumbnail option for the time being, I'll be interested in seeing how to get that working.

Thx again.

Maybe it's a TPL issue.

You are not using Icy Phoenix... right?

Can you try comparing the TPLs of Icy Phoenix with the ones of standard subSilver?

I guess the problem may be there... :roll:

There is a slight difference in the 2 templates reguarding the switch_nuffload_disabled.
In the FAP tpl there is one instance when it is used, but not used in IP.....removing this seems to fix it.

IN FAP OPEN templates/subSilver/album_upload_body.tpl

FIND

Code: [Hide] [Select]

<!-- BEGIN switch_nuffload_disabled -->

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">

<!--

var gFileuploadCounter = 1;

var fileBrowseHTML = '<input class="post" type="file" name="pic_file[]" size="49" /><br />';

REMOVE

Code: [Hide] [Select]

FIND

Code: [Hide] [Select]

<!-- BEGIN pre_generate -->

	// pre-generate the rest of the fields

	while (gFileuploadCounter <= {S_MAX_PREGEN_FILE_UPLOADS} )

	{

		AddFileField();

	}

	<!-- END pre_generate -->

}

// -->

</script>

<!-- END switch_nuffload_disabled -->

REMOVE

Howdy :)
I am having the same problem...upload>>>then blank page>>>but still in a folder but not in an albumn.
GD is as follows:

Quote:
GD Info:
Version: bundled (2.0.28 compatible)
Freetype Fonts Support: No
Freetype Link Type:
T1lib Support: No
Gif Read Support: Yes
Gif Create Support: Yes
Jpg/Jpeg Support: Yes
Png Support: Yes
WBMP Support: Yes
XBM Support: Yes
Japanese Font Support: No

Nuffload = disabled (I don't know what the heck NUFFLOAD is or what it does...) I don't know if this is maybe with the cgi-bin setting...I don't know how to find my /cgi-bin/ to set this in the ACP..... :roll: very new to all this jargon :roll:

I did some testing and it seems that images that are larger in file size or file dimension limits set in ACP create this "White page" problem.

Please help...I go public with my forum in less than a week....

***EDIT*** sorry just realized that from following Artie's guide, i skipped the cgi-bin part of the install since i do not want to allow multiple uploads. Should I disable the PERL upload in that part of the ACP?
