Thread: Photo Image will not upload

Hi, For some reason I just started getting the following error when trying to upload photos:

Failed to upload file 286.jpg! Make sure it's a picture of jpg, gif, or png format.

(Error code: undef

--------END

I had no such problem before. All photo uploads are .jpg or gifs. My profile_photo.php and img_id are 777, but still get this error.

I am using IQ 4.1

Can someone help?

If all was working OK I would check with your Host - maybe disk space issue or something?

Hi,

Thank you for responding to my post. This problem seems to be isolated to my personal computer. Gifs will upload but .jpg will not. My hard drive was recently formated and Windows Xp re-installed. Additonal aplications such as Photo impact 10 was also re-installed.

Is there a setting in my personal computer that may be preventing the ae script from reading or reconizing .jpg images?

I would doubt it - but it may be case sensitive???

Hi,

Thank you for the comments that you made in regards to my jpg not uploading. Someone informed me that it could be a conflict with a windows XP update component. I rolled back my computer to a saved control point before the Windows XP automatic update were installed on my computer, and it worked again. Until I know the exact components of the XP update that is causing the problem, I turned the XP's automatic update off.

Kind regards,

Cheryll

That's interesting.

Which Update caused that?

Hi Greg, I only have my suspicions, but after re-installing Windows XP with Service Pac 2, the Automatic updates commenced, and after the conclusion of the updates, I was unable to upload .jpg photos (Gifs still worked) via end-user control panel and the admin control panel. But as I mentioned previously, I received advice from someone, and after using another computer without such updates, it worked fine. I noticed there is some kind of security issue in XP in regards to .jpg, but do not know if that is the specific cause, and I do not know of any way of disabling that feature at this point in time. It may be that my version of XP is not a good copy, corrupted etc., if others that have XP updated and are not having the same .jpg problem that I had, Well until I can resolve that issue on XP updates, I have I disabled Automatic updates for now. Thank you for checking back with me on this issue Greg.

I run windows xp pro not had any problems.
Are your chmod settings ago.
Have tried replacing your new profile_photos.php with the old one.

Hi, I have not tried using the old profile_photos.php. I will try that. The chmod (777) settings ok as far as I can see.

I will try your advice in regards to the old_photos.php.

Thank You ijk.
