View Full Version : image upload appears to never finish

I've got VBPicGallery 10.0.4 running on VBulletin 3.6.8, Patch level 1. I'm following the `How to for Members' by BigD on how to upload images. When I click the browse button I navigate to the desired image (a 148 x 290 JPG image) and when I click the 'open' button in the file dialog it disappears and an animated circular graphic begins to spin, presumably to indicate that something is happening. It never stops spinning and the count of images never goes up, no matter how long I wait so I'm unable to upload images. There is no error or any overt failure, just no success.

I'm using the 'put images in the filesystem' option, and the forum & image gallery software is running locally on my laptop, the same machine that has the selected photo. Seems to me that the 'upload' in this case ought to be pretty close to instant instead of never finishing.

My vbPicGallery settings are for a max picture resolution of 800 x 600, with a max. file size of 1 MB, and chosen file is well within these limits.

Anybody seen this set of symptoms and circumstances before?

Thanks,
Chris

Permissions maybe? Try chmod 777 on the directory you're trying to store the images in.

I can't trouble shoot a local install. Put it on the web and if the problem still exists, I can look at it.

If php was memory overloaded, the message is suppressed and not shown. I have looked at this and that seems to be the cause.

The upload system has been reworked. Files no longer auto upload and require the members to click "upload" now. The sever upload max is reported if your max upload is higher than the server can handle. The limit imposed is displayed now too.

Errors should write to the apache log now too.

It's not posted yet. But, please try it out here and see if we have managed to get any issues you may be concerned with fixed before the release. I may have it up tomorrow if I get enough good feedback.

thanks
