please help, avatar problem

[NathanMc]

After I upgraded my forums to 3.0.0 gold, when I try uploading an avatar I get this error www.nintendonow.com/hmmm.bmp

[dmogg]

Have you edited that file at all? if not reupload it.

[NathanMc]

I have reuploaded it twice...I can't figure it out.

Can you enable phpinfo in the AdminCP for public view please?

[NathanMc]

yeah sure, I just did...

[Zachery]

I think your server is running in safe mode

AdminCP > vBulletin Options > Server Settings and Optimization Options >
Safe Mode Upload Enabled > Change to YES

AdminCP > vBulletin Options > Server Settings and Optimization Options >
Safe Mode Temporary Directory >

If your server is running in PHP Safe Mode, you'll need to specify a directory that is CHMOD to 777 that will act as a temporary directory for uploads. All files are removed from this directory after database insertion.

Note: Do NOT include the trailing slash ('/') after the directory name.




So Your going to need to chmod a directory called tmp in your root vBulletin directory (i think, i havent dealt much with safe mode honestly)

awe dang...you're right, I had to do that about a year ago, I didn't even think to check that...if I still have problems I'll be back, thanks alot man.

[NathanMc]

is there a way you can look at my PHP info and get the exact directory? the one that was in there was from a different host a year ago...dont know how it still worked, I tried

/home/virtual/site1/fst/var/www/html/forums/tmp

but it don't seem to work..

I got it working...I had to change the folder avatar to 'customavatar' and chmod it 777...wierd
