Coppermine question

[bystander]

This question is for the admins or anyone who is knowledgeable about Coppermine.

What does the "Impossible to move." message mean? Any work-arounds?

I am getting this when trying to upload a 40 kb .jpg file.

Any other users experiencing this?

Sniffing around on Google finds this post:

When a user tries to upload a picture s/he gets the error message Impossible to move somepic.jpg to albums/userpics/ | Warning: move_uploaded_file(/tmp/phpezCYKr) [function.move-uploaded-file]: failed to create stream: Operation not permitted. What's wrong?

You should contact the admin of your webhost because you usually can't change the location of the website's temporary directory for file uploads, yourself (it is part of PHP configuration) .If the open basedir restriction is in effect on your site then the temp directory for file uploads should be one that you can access.
Which seems to indicate it could be an administration problem. Maybe the temporary area needs to be cleaned out?

That's why I'm asking if other users are experiencing this problem. If I'm the only one, then the odds go down of a mis-configuration of Coppermine.

The "last-up" page:

It looks like terryp encountered an upload problem on the 26th:

Perhaps it's been broken since then?

It may be the write permission on the directory or file - try chmod 755 on the directory and chmod 777 on the file.This question is for the admins or anyone who is knowledgeable about Coppermine.

It may be the write permission on the directory or file - try chmod 755 on the directory and chmod 777 on the file. If I was the admin for this site, it's the first thing I would have checked.

I'm seeing the trouble on the _user_ end of things , not the server side. The files I tried to upload are not locked in any way. I tried several different files, from different folders and disks, same result.

Since the system was formerly working, I suspect there is clog somewhere on the server side, either too many files in a folder, or too many bytes used.

But since I'm not an administrator, there's little I can do except try to bring it to an administrator's attention.

Bill, if you've got a minute, can you please try to upload something to see if the trouble is there for any users besides me and terryp?

happy to do so but tomorrow please - rough day at work and just decompressing tonight.

I can confirm that this is busted also.

Let me alert John and Pam to this thread if they haven't seen it already.

They have much more experience with uploading photos etc.

I also uploaded a test image and deleted it. (upload worked normally).
