Image Upload Help!

    So I’m hosting my first wordpress blog on an old pc in the house. Everything seems to work fine, but when I try to upload an image nothing happens.

    Flash uploader won’t work, browser uploader won’t work. They both show the progress bar completing, but once thats done nothing happens.

    If I go to the uploads directory on the pc thats actually hosting the site, the images ARE there…but I still can’t see them on wordpress and add them to posts.

    If I navigate there through another pc on my network, I can see the image files are there, but I can’t view them. I can move them around and delete them etc. but not view.

    Any suggestions?

    Typically, you can access your server error log through your hosting provider’s control panel.

    I checked out the apache error log, the only error that comes up is this:

    [Sat Jun 12 11:48:48 2010] [error] [client 192.168.0.100] File does not exist: C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/htdocs/favicon.ico

    But that looks unrelated…

    That is definitely unrelated. Try uploading an image, then immediately check the error log again.

    Well, then I’m out of ideas too. ??

    Maybe there’s something wrong with the GD library on the server?

    *****PROBLEM RESOLVED*****

    I uninstalled apache/php/mysql on the server, and got WAMP, which is just a bundled install of all 3. Installed wordpress with no problems, and bam. Images upload properly. Hopefully if anyone else experiences what I was they’ll find this thread.

    Thanks for being so helpful everyone!
