phpwcms Support Forum

I'm pretty sure I took all the right steps in the upgrade but I seem to have one problem. I can not see the images in the file browser. This is the case with the images that were there before the upgrade but also the images I try to upload. When I try to upload an image to the file list it seems to work. You can see it listed and it has a file size. I also do not get any errors. The problem is when I try to view it. I click it in the list but the preview is blank. Also, when I try to add it to a content part, it doesn't show up in the popup browser. I can see the directory for the file I created but not the image. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Anybody have an idea of what could be the problem?

are all directory rights ok?

And the name of the changed folders ok?
e.g. phpwcms_filestorage -> filearchive

Or did you renamed the folder names in your config e.g. $phpwcms['file_path'] = 'phpwcms_filestorage';

Site/DB -charset the same in 1.2.8 / 1.3.3 ?

Strange... I've just observed samme problem in 1.3.5

Only thing is that 14 days ago there was no problem.
And the only difference is that the new "problem"-images are bigger (around 1.4 Mb).
- can that be an issue..?
file_maxsize=2097152 in conf.inc.php

Best regards
Per

$phpwcms['file_maxsize'] = 52428800; //Bytes (50 x 1024 x 1024)

Thank you, Knut.
I tried to raise the "file_maxsize", but it didn't worked.
Then I thought it had something to do with permissions. But, no...

Finally, I realized that the filesize are in pixels, not i MB, and my "problem"-image was 2816x2112 - indeed more than 1024x1024.
When I downsize the image the problem is gone

So I guess it's also peteburgess problem...

Knut, can you explain what the "50" stands for in the (50 x 1024 x 1024).
And thank you again for your answer.

I think that isn t an upload problem by the cms. If it is, you haven´t enough - memory or max_execution_time for scripting.
A compressed file like *.jpg has often in uncompressed mode a multiple range. Using this real size file the GD-lib is rendering a new picture. -> memory_limit / max_execution_time

Please have a look to your phpinfo() -> upload_max_filesize

Thank you, Knut. It makes sense.

I uploaded my "problem"-image (2816x2112) to an other web-hotel with phpwcms 1.3.5, and here there was no problem at all.
In phpinfo it said:
upload_max_filesize = 16M
memory_limit = 128M

The other web-hotel, with the problems phpinfo said:
upload_max_filesize = 2M
memory_limit = 8M

So I guess it wasn't the file size, but rather the poor server-setting that caused the missing rendering.

I had the same problem when I moved my site to a new server. The new server had no ImageMagick. The problem resolved by editing the configuration file conf.inc.php, namely the parameter $ phpwcms ['imagick']. After replacing the value on "GD" it began work. Another solution is to install ImageMagick.
PS Check the image convertor values in configuration file.
