Question Avatar upload doesn't work

When I or one of our users try to upload an Avatar we always get the following error message:

"JFile::copy: Cannot find or read file: '' "

My host has PHP 5.2.6. So this can not be the problem ...

Can you help me?

Thanks

Hello,

I think you have deleted your avatar which is on your computer,before that Kunena have been the time to upload the avatar.

i have the same problem with the avatar upload:

JFile::copy: Cannot find or read file: '/tmp/kn_EmqOIh'
JFile::copy: Cannot find or read file: '/tmp/kn_5bCx8a'
JFile::copy: Cannot find or read file: '/tmp/kn_UC1LJ4'

joomla1.5.12,PHP versie: 5.2.3

what is the solution?

No, I didn't delete it. It is still there.

And I tried it several times. It doesn't work. The Avatar is on my computer the whole time and I am not going to delete it ... Why should I?

One question: Could it be a problem with the file format? It is an JPG file ... Must the Avatar be a GIF file?

Thanks for your answer.

Hi,

if the avatar is an JPG file. You can use .JPG .GIF and .PNG file for avatar.

I think there is a problem with a permission to write in the /tmp folder. CHMOD this folder to 755 ( drwxr-xr-x ) or 777 ( drwxrwxrwx ) and try to upload avatar.

the folder is in

{J! route}/tmp

Regards

I'm new to Kunena, and have installed the forums onto my website after testing the software on my localhost setup. Everything works flawlessly, with the exception of uploading avatars. I have changed permissions on folders to include:

/administrator/components/com_kunena (755)

/components/com_kunena (755)

/tmp (755)


I'm using the latest version of Kunena with Joomla 1.5.12. I keep getting the page shown in the picture:



Basically looks like I lost CSS and graphics for some reason. Image does not upload (it's a small gif). Does anyone have any idea of what I can do to remedy this? Am I missing a permission setting in another directory that is important? Thanks in advance!

Chris

Hi Chris,

another importand directory is
/media/kunena/attachments/legacy/avatars

Regards

Thanks. I gave it a try and I still get the same problem. I even set each directory to 777 and that didn't help either. Not sure what else to try at the moment.

I'm not sure whether your problem is a permission setting or not but, in terms of Joomla, I suggest you read docs.joomla.org/What_are_the_recommended...ctory_permissions%3F

I'm familiar with the permissions settings in Joomla, and they are set correctly. No problems with any other functions. Avatars work flawlessly on localhost installation.

Could it possibly be a memory limit issue? Thanks again for the help.
