Uploading Files – Problem

@jarra,
If it did not it would not allow the upload option to be visible. In regards to your question. ( yes ) permissions are just fine.
Kind regards,

What is there selective support on this site? Are you telling me NO ONE has this problem? Come on people.. what is up with the support lately?
Kind regards,
Gravity

Is it only that image ?
Does the same error occur with all the other filetypes ?

@podz
every image.. all images types.. no exceptions.
To tell you the truth this program is seemingly getting tougher and tougher to work with. I just tried uploading a nightly build to see if it worked better. I removed the files that were important to me like the css file, the index file and the rss comments file. After an upload it basically trashed my install. I had to revert back to a 1.2 install.
Nothin is easy..
permissions are correct. I have the option to upload.. now this… very frustrating.
Kind regards,
gravity

Has it ever worked ?

@podz
first time I tried.. so I would not know if it EVER worked, but it is not working this first time around it..
Kind regards,
Gravity

Hmm…if it was my problem, I would delete all the allowed filetypes, then re-add them – just to check. I would also put in the capitalised JPG JPEG etc and see if that works.
You could try adding .txt and see if you can upload a small .txt file ?

@podz
I removed the ext’s. I added a plain old txt… tried.. nada.. I added a .txt… tried.. nada.. I added back a jpg and a .jpg… nada..
This is going no where.. ?? Thanks though.. I will find an alternate way of adding images with thumbnails and making them larger with JS.
Thanks again.. ( sigh )

I won’t be of much help, but it’s a curious problem you have here. Considering your errormessage:
File of type is not allowed
it seems as if the filetype is not even retrieved from the database, because in upload.php is says:
die(sprintf(__('File %1$s of type %2$s is not allowed.') , $img1_name, $imgtype));
so a proper errormessage would have been something like:
File ‘name’ of type ‘jpg’ is not allowed. Something like that?
Perhaps the problems lies more in the field of the combination of a particular version of PHP and mySQL?
Just guessing here. But perhaps this can contribute to solving this.

It might be mingus 1.2 on php5 acting up. The error I got above did not mimic your error that I should have gotten. I have since updated to nightly build 09.18 of 1.3. Even though I am having issues with the login as posted elsewhere on WP Forums I am able to still work with it.
I hope that all my customizations are not lost when I have to update. It takes a long time to get things proper. SO I am HOPING that upgrading to 1.3 will not kill my site.
Will there be a upgrade procedure written for those running 1.3 nightlies? I have read the sticky on nightlies ( i read everything here ) but I just want to know that updates can be achieved.
Kind regards,

You could play with a setup on your machine ?
If you download a php/mysql/apache combo, then get it set up, you can install wordpress and see how things work. It will operate just the same as a web server (because it is) but you get to try lots of things and as there is no uploading involved, it’s quicker.
There are a few variants, but I use xampp from https://www.apachefriends.org/en/index.html
They have 1.4.4 which has php4 and 1.4.6 which has php5. They are easy to install (get the installer download) and so long as you name the destination directories differently, you could have both.
You can also export your existing blog and import that into it so you can see just how things are working.

Hi
Can anybody help me to install wordpress on Xp.
Thanks

XP Home ?
This may help:https://www.tamba2.org.uk/wordpress/xampp/
Or just grab xampp (the installer version 1.4.4), download, install.
Unzip the wp download, place the ‘wordpress’ directory in /htdocs and then treat it just the same as normal.
