Administrators Thanked: 9 times	Well can't view your site cause its under review. Are you receiving an error, if so please post it exactly.

Members	Thats the thing. I dont get an error. You just cant upload an avatar. When you try, it says : Updated But ur avatar doesnt show. Instead, theres a broken image icon. i chmoded, did a fresh install and still nothing

Administrators Thanked: 9 times	I actually don't recall if avatar shows error's. Try uploading your avatar straight into PFS, it will say if there are any errors

Administrators Thanked: 263 times	Please check: Administration => Configuration => Users => Avatar options These options of you php.ini/phpinfo: file_uploads, upload_max_filesize, upload_tmp_dir May the Source be with you!

Members	I uploaded photos through pfs, and no problem. But Avatars wont upload. @Trustmaster: I went to users and I had the settings at 180x180 and 8000 kb. I tried to upload a .png .gif, and .jpg to no avail. How do you do the second step?

Contributors	Create a new PHP file. Call it phpinfo.php Paste this code inside: <?php phpinfo(); ?> Upload phpinfo.php to your /www folder. Simply point your browser to www.yoursite.com/phpinfo.php and then find this lines: file_uploads, upload_max_filesize, upload_tmp_dir And write back here with the info. For example: file_uploads On On upload_max_filesize 64M 64M upload_tmp_dir X:\xampp\tmp X:\xampp\tmp

Create a new PHP file.

Call it phpinfo.php

Paste this code inside:

<?php phpinfo(); ?>

Upload phpinfo.php to your /www folder.

Simply point your browser to www.yoursite.com/phpinfo.php and then find this lines:
file_uploads, upload_max_filesize, upload_tmp_dir

And write back here with the info.

For example:

file_uploads	On	On
upload_max_filesize	64M	64M
upload_tmp_dir	X:\xampp\tmp	X:\xampp\tmp

Members	Got the same error. The avatar size is normal.No errors appear.When i check /datas/avatars/ i see that its empty. Through the hidemenu i have an avatar shown.If the avatar is chosen from the default avatar list it works.But if i upload an avatar it shows : /.datas/avatars/1-avatar.gif This has been checked on localhost and on a host.DB was also checked. Добавлено 1 час 40 Минут спустя: eeeeeehh.I found whats the problem.This is a bug.The defaul avatar dir for upload is really set to ".datas/avatars"(not "datas/avatars"). Here is a simple temporary solution - in the sites root folder create a folder and name it ".datas",and create a "avatars" folder in it...this will work Добавлено 25 Минут спустя: found what was wrong. change $cfg['av_dir'] = '.datas/avatars/'; to $cfg['av_dir'] = 'datas/avatars/'; in datas/config.php [url=http://ka13.orgfree.com]KA13[/url] - The essence of creativity

change $cfg['av_dir'] = '.datas/avatars/';
to
$cfg['av_dir'] = 'datas/avatars/';
in datas/config.php

Administrators Thanked: 9 times	Removed the PHPinfo link, its not recommended to publicly place those Did you modify and fix your config.php with the above?

SunChase	#13 2009-08-07 05:44
Members	i found out that if the Hosts OS is linux(or ect.) then ".datas/avatars"(not "datas/avatars" is correct.You need to remove the dot if the host runs of a Windows hosting [url=http://ka13.orgfree.com]KA13[/url] - The essence of creativity

# Kilandor : Removed the PHPinfo link, its not recommended to publicly place those

Did you modify and fix your config.php with the above?

there's nothing that I can really modify the only things that are in any way related are

$cfg['dir_perms'] = 0777;
$cfg['file_perms'] = 0664;

which does this need to be changed to 0777

and this

$cfg['av_dir'] = 'datas/avatars/';

does this need to be changed in anyway like SunChase said above ^

do I need to rename my datas folder to .datas

Thx for your help

Trustmaster	#15 2009-08-07 14:46
Administrators Thanked: 263 times	You don't need to rename any folders, just make sure $cfg['av_dir'] is set to $cfg['av_dir'] = 'datas/avatars/'; in your datas/config.php May the Source be with you!
