Upload Error - Invalid file
Permalink
Hi everybody,
I got an error today when I tried to upload a file using "single file" mode in Dashboard - File Manager. The error that shows up is "Invalid file". The file I´m trying to upload is a regular jpg file by the size of 40 KB.
I double checked my directory and subdirectory permissions and even changed them to 777 but this didn't change a thing...
I managed to upload files a week ago though, so setting must have been ok (even though I can't remember that I did anything bad to my system). The only thing that I can remember doing that might have an influence is that I installed coppermine image gallery on my system and I had to do some minor changes to php.ini
My system is an up-to-date ubuntu.
Can anybody give me directions on how to further track this error? Or does somebody even has a solution for me?
Thanx in advance for your time an effort
Stefan
P.S.
I'm using 5.3.2

What I found out so far is that I obviously have an upload problem. At least it looks like it to me because if I upload a file manually using scp and then try to integrate it using file manager - add incoming everything works perfect.
I'm pretty sure that this is not a bug in concrete 5. I suppose that I have a configuration issue. Anyway, besides having a workaround now I would like to get the upload feature up and running again.
Does anybody has direction on howto configure php.ini? I guess the cause of my problem is there.
Stupid me, I didn't write down the changes I've done :-(.

Sometimes solutions can be that simple ;-)
I had to add /tmp to my open_basedir.
I fould this out because I tried to download a new feature and got php error messages that leaded me in this direction.
I hope these notes can of value to anybody else.
I'm happy. Great application!!!

Please explain...

Hi,
depends. My installation is on an apache system which is supporting virtual hosts. I therefore can find the value in my virtual host config file.
Here is what my file looks like:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin admin@test.com
ServerName test.test.com
DocumentRoot /home/to/my/httpdocs/
php_admin_value open_basedir /home/to/my/httpdocs/:/tmp
....
</VirtualHost>
Anyway, this should be easy to google.

How's about the file name is that clean, no spaces or special chars?
