Upload image file thru media manager failed

[handoko75]

Hi everyone,

I ve got a problem when i would like to upload image file using media manager. Login screen always shown after click upload the file, while the file itself failed to go to the target web folder.

Any body has a solution for the problem....?

Thanks
Handoko

check to make sure the target web folder is writable.

What you mean with "login screen always show?" cab you make a print of that message and upload?

This attached file containt print screen happen just before the file uploaded to web server folder ...

login in admin with http://www.safeour.......that will resolve this i assume.

what does this line says in your configuration.php?

var $live_site = ''; or
var $live_site = 'http://safeourlife.info'; or
var $live_site = 'http://www.safeourlife.info';

Hi Leolam,

If i login to this admin screen, i will go to the inside within this media menager frame (or window within window). It doesn;t solve the problem.

the line says in my configuration.php is

var $live_site = ''; or


Tks

[leolam]

You missed my first point I think......That login screen should not come up there and your site will crash when you login there as well at all so login to your default administrator with

http://www.safeourlife.info/administrator instead of http://safeourlife.info/admistrator and see if that resolves

(what joomla version you use?)

Hi Leo,

Not work?? i use joomla 1.5.7
.

Download full version of Joomla 1.5.7 ( not a patched version) > extract > upload full excluding 'installation-folder" and overwrite. Check your file and folder permissions in your system settings (admin > system)... Those which should be writable should be mentioned in 'green"

Hi Leo,

i install the full package of joomla version 1.5.7 while all of directory permission is writeable in system information.

I am also getting an upload failed (406) error when trying to upload images thru the front and back end. I use to be able to upload images all I can think is it was the upgrade to 1.5.7.

Hi Leo,

i have done what r you suggestion, but it doesn't work too, not solve the problem, but this is no problem when i install it on localhost server.

Dumb question, but is the server a Red Hat Enterprise Linux, CentOS or Fedora box?

If so, it could be an SELinux issue. To see if it is enabled run:

Code: Select all

[root@dev httpd]# selinuxenabled 
[root@dev httpd]# echo $?
1

If you get a 1 it is NOT enabled. If you get a 0 it is enabled (and will stop apache writing to some parts of the file system).

PS. Similar experiences can happen on AppArmor hosts but that's another story.

Hi my host server is linux diamond.

I don't know how to run your code.

Then you need to contact your host. This is a command ran via root and it sounds like you are on a shared hosting account that doesn't allow root access.

OK... I was having this same problem... and I don't know if this will screw other things up on my site, but I was able to get the upload to work with some experimentation.
What worked:
I went into global configuration and changed (under media settings) "Enable Flash Uploader" to NO.
This sounds crazy... but it worked for me.

If you know something about this, please let me know if I will see problems elsewhere because I did this.

This worked for me too, but I'm not sure why? Can anyone expand?

[brq]

Yes, but when you turn off "Flash uploader" You can't do multiple upload. Its possible to upload only file by file.

Ask your host to turn off suhosin (this is a PHP setting), this is causing the error. My server had the same problem, after turning off suhosin it was ready to go.

I checked my server's error logs and discovered problems with open_basedir settings. That is set in php.ini.

OK - so I have a problem with File Upload in media manager.

Choose a file .. upload it ... (file is sent to server ... written to /tmp ... unlinked ) ... file fails to be put under Joomla web space.

No errors in ssl_error_log. How do I work out what the heck is going on?

I'm using Joomla 1.5.7 on CentOS5.
