Hi,
Forum version 8.03
i've been setting up a new forum, (i'm hosted with webfusion) i've been testing the workings of the forum.
I can not post images, I tried posting an image again to the forum i originally put an image on and now myself and others are getting a 500 error..? I'm checking the permissions carefully and as far as i can tell all the forums have the same permisions, everyone but guests should be able to post images. basically it all works, I get the pop up saying... please be patient while the image uploads, and i click ok... there is a varying pause and i get the 500 error. any ideas? I'm assuming this is web host related? I have upped the image size allocation and tried posting image of varous types and sizes, I have 100's of meg free on the website. i'm not sure how to go about fixing this...
details of the hosting package i have incase it's helpful: http://www.webfusion.co.uk/hosting/fusion-professional-windows-asp-net/ - http://www.webfusion.co.uk/hosting/fusion-professional-windows-asp-net/ |

Details of your hosting package don't say anything except you are on a windows 2003 server which is standard these days for windows web hosting. If you turn off Friendly HTTP error messages in IE you will get an accurate message on what the error is, which should help workout what the problem is. ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |

It looks like your web hosts may have disabled the SaveVirtual method of the upload component which is required for web wiz forums to save and process uploaded files. Also ensure that the upload directory has read, write, and modify permissions on it. ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |

just to let you people know, the directory permissions were to blame.
for others with a webfusion account, you will need to contact them and request permissions changes to the folder as suggested in the 'boRg' post above :P
I phoned was polite, then emailed and it was sorted in about a couple of hours.
Thanks for the advice boRg.
P.S. some webfusion hosted servers have a 200k limit on uploads. |
