Image upload error (yes I am pretty sure I checked all the chmod settings!

FIXED IT MYSELF!
Closer inspection revealed a difference in my php.ini files from the sites that were working and the site that was not!

old php.ini

register_globals = on
include_path = ".:/usr/local/php/share/pear"
zend_optimizer.optimization_level=15
zend_extension="/usr/local/lib/ZendOptimizer.so_4.4.x"

new php.ini (file uploads working)(notice save mode off and memory limits)

register_globals = on
include_path = ".:/usr/local/php/share/pear"
safe_mode = off
memory_limit = 16m
zend_optimizer.optimization_level=15
zend_extension="/usr/local/lib/ZendOptimizer.so_4.4.x"

No need to thank me just send me a dollar if you find it usefull!

Guess that means someone will have to change the documentation to say “There are no problems with safe mode… er…um… except for one ??

OK, you got me. What’s a php.ini file? Where do I find it?

I can’t upload image files in Admin. I get this message:

The uploaded file could not be moved to /home/cecon46/public_html/whatsmellssogood/wp-content.
Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/cecon46/public_html/whatsmellssogood/wp-admin/admin-functions.php:1986) in /home/cecon46/public_html/whatsmellssogood/wp-includes/functions.php on line 1357

I don’t know what the hell that means.

It’s Ok. So what’s the problem? Nobody seems to help me and I thought I was getting close with your help but then I couldn’t figure out where to see php.ini.

Can you help me? Oh, I have 2.2.2

If I am not mistaken, php.ini is a server side configuration file with a general location (in a Linux distribution), of;

/etc/php.ini, or maybe /etc/php(version)/php.ini, depending on the distro.

I don’t believe you would have access to this unless you own the server on which your site is hosted. You may want to contact your hosting service and see if something has been changed recently.

Oh, I wish I’d known that before. My host has been screwing up this last little while – and I just finished paying for another year.

Thanks for the info.

Did you know you can create your own php.ini file using notepad/notepad++.
All you need to do is
1 open notepad or something similar
2)paste/copy the relevant code needed to put in it.
3)Save it as php.ini
4)upload it into your root directory.
5)you have a php.ini file on your server
easy…..

Another solution is to ‘touch’ the file before calling imagejpeg. Edit flexible-upload.php like so:

$jpegquality = get_option(FUP_JPEG_QUALITY_OPTION);
$jpegquality = $jpegquality ? $jpegquality : 75;
touch($thumbpath); // add this line
if (!imagejpeg( $thumbnail, $thumbpath, $jpegquality )) {
  $error = __( "Thumbnail path invalid", 'fup' );
}

Add a similiar line before other imagejpeg, imagegif, and imagepng calls.
