Plogger Support Forum - Cannot Upload Images Due To Hosts Sun, 19 Apr 2026 08:29:50 +0000 http://www.plogger.org/forum/ Lussumo Vanilla 1.1.10 Cannot Upload Images Due To Hosts http://www.plogger.org/forum/comments.php?DiscussionID=315&Focus=1599#Comment_1599 http://www.plogger.org/forum/comments.php?DiscussionID=315&Focus=1599#Comment_1599 Tue, 20 Dec 2005 07:48:18 +0000 eiffel
What happens is that i go through the upload page, click 'upload' and nothing happens. The yellow message box at the is empty and nothing else about the site has changed. No upload. The import page works fine though.

From other posts on this site, I've tried putting

error_reporting(E_ALL);


at the top of my globals.php. This gave me this php error:

Warning: rename(): open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/tmp/phpCnQApk) is not within the allowed path(s): (/home/mydomain/public_html) in /home/mydomain/public_html/plogger/admin/plog-admin-functions.php on line 62


The open_basedir error ran a bell from my hosts supanames.co.uk as I've had problems installing other php software (oscommerce) on their servers before.

I tracked this down again to this page:

http://www.supanames.com/support/open_basedir.html


which states:

If you experience the open_basedir security message when using an image upload script we recommend that you change any copy() commands found within the script to the command move_uploaded_file().


So, I uncommented line 59 in plog-admin-functions.php and commented line 60, like so:

if (!move_uploaded_file($tmpname,$final_fqfn)) {
// if (!rename($tmpname,$final_fqfn)) {
$result['errors'] .= 'Could not move file! ' . $tmpname .' to '.$final_fqfn;
return $result;
};


And now the upload page works.

But the import page doesn't.

Does anyone know what i can do to get around my hosts restrictions so that i can have both upload and import pages working. Or do i have to chose one or the other?]]> Cannot Upload Images Due To Hosts http://www.plogger.org/forum/comments.php?DiscussionID=315&Focus=1623#Comment_1623 http://www.plogger.org/forum/comments.php?DiscussionID=315&Focus=1623#Comment_1623 Wed, 21 Dec 2005 13:05:46 +0000 eiffel
is there maybe something i can change so that it writes to /home/mydomain/public_html/tmp instead?]]> Cannot Upload Images Due To Hosts http://www.plogger.org/forum/comments.php?DiscussionID=315&Focus=1625#Comment_1625 http://www.plogger.org/forum/comments.php?DiscussionID=315&Focus=1625#Comment_1625 Wed, 21 Dec 2005 14:03:37 +0000 mike Cannot Upload Images Due To Hosts http://www.plogger.org/forum/comments.php?DiscussionID=315&Focus=1743#Comment_1743 http://www.plogger.org/forum/comments.php?DiscussionID=315&Focus=1743#Comment_1743 Wed, 04 Jan 2006 09:38:41 +0000 eiffel
if (!move_uploaded_file($tmpname,$final_fqfn)) {


and commenting

if (!rename($tmpname,$final_fqfn)) {


This works for the upload page - problem is that now the import page is broken.

Above where I've done that in plog-admin-functions.php there is this comment:

// cannot use move_uploaded_file here, because plog-import uses the same function and
// and doesn't deal with uploaded files


So is it possible for me to have both import and upload working with these hosts?]]> Cannot Upload Images Due To Hosts http://www.plogger.org/forum/comments.php?DiscussionID=315&Focus=1746#Comment_1746 http://www.plogger.org/forum/comments.php?DiscussionID=315&Focus=1746#Comment_1746 Wed, 04 Jan 2006 11:17:46 +0000 anti
