Can't upload pictures or files to wall or profile

Jon Mason Posted in Technical Support 10 years ago

Hi- Im trying to work out why no pictures will upload. They say successful when say uploading to the wall but remain an [X]. Is this a common fault?

Background - This is a new install on Ubuntu Server on a virtual box vm. As said above, all is working ok - I can add new users etc (so database working).

SOLUTION FOUND:

Just though I'd update this thread - The answer is obvious now I've seen it. The error log shows
".../var/www/ossndatadiruser/1/profile..."

should be:
".../var/www/ossndatadir/user/1/profile..."

Updated in ossn.config.site.php and wham! sorted

Thanks!

Good, that's already one hint, that the image is not in place - but gives no idea why.

As I posted already recently: Teaching how to setup up a Linux box as a "hosting provider instance" is beyond the capabilities of this forum. You're on your own or you have to consult the Ubuntu community.

But since you're working with a virtual instance anyway, I'd suggest trying something like the Turnkey Lamp Stack instead ( https://www.turnkeylinux.org/lampstack )

It still needs some twisting here and there, but a lot is already working out of the box and you got at least a nice administration panel.

Thanks for that - I am with the machine now. Error Log says:
