Error: Custom avatars not working. Even if the avatar is under size limit (width-height/filesize) and its a valid jpg/gif it says that the avatar is not a valid jpg/gif.

Hacked: NO

In fact, I saw there was an option in Admin CP that said something about if the avatar doesnt go through, to check yes.. Though it may let members bypass the size limit. I did that and I didnt get the error, but the avvy showed up as a x.

The error is

The uploaded file is not a valid GIF or JPG file. Please ensure that it is and try again.

Your PHP requires Safe Mode. Do you have Safe Mode turned on the the Admin CP?

[thinkjose]

It wasnt before, but now it is.

Problem remains though.

[thinkjose]

All files are original.. Hmm.

[Steve Machol]

Does this mean you have enabled Safe Mode? Have you also specified the full and exact path to a Safe Mode Temp Direcotry that has been chmoded to 777?

[thinkjose]

When I put in my full path I get these errors (in both admin cp, and usercp)

Warning: Unable to create '/usr/local/psa/home/vhosts/pgnx.net/httpdocs/tmp/untitled.jpg': No such file or directory in /usr/local/psa/home/vhosts/pgnx.net/httpdocs/forums/admin/user.php on line 665

Avatar Updated!

When I leave it as /tmp

I get

Warning: SAFE MODE Restriction in effect. The script whose uid is 10041 is not allowed to access /tmp/untitled.jpg owned by uid 0 in /usr/local/psa/home/vhosts/pgnx.net/httpdocs/forums/admin/user.php on line 665

The first error means that you don't have a 'tmp' subdirectory under 'httpdocs' or that it is not chmoded to 777.

The second error means that '/tmp' is not chmoded to 777.

[thinkjose]

Hmm.. Maybe my domain didn't switch yet.

If I allow safe mode and make a tmp folder with chmod 777 the avatars should work?

[Steve Machol]

Assuming you specify the correct directory and there are no other problems, then yes.
