My images i upload with stories are still broken. The image is being uploaded to ../public_html/images/articles directory. I have changed the config.php file to point to that path. What am I missing here?

Please give us some more information. What exactly are you doing?

bye, Dirk

Ok, i uploaded and installed GL, I am using the clean theme. When logged in as admin, I click on contribute to post a story I click on browse to select the image and put the [image 1] in body of the story and click on save as draft - a broken image appears on the story. I looked in the articles dir. and the image is there.

As I stated earlier: I have changed the config.php file to point to that path: .../public_html/images/articles. I also added the img and src codes too. What am I missing here?

maybe it should be [image1] not [image 1]

The default should have worked just fine.



Those are not necessary to get the [image1] working.

bye, Dirk

One other thing to note: After browsing, selecting and saving an image in a story post, the image appears as a hypertext link in the story admin that reads 1312323....gif

When I click on this image link it goes to "cannot display page"

My only thoughts is that this is image problem is a path problem. Should images by default be saved in backend/public_html/images and is it is possibly looking for the images in (document root)/images/articles?

Assistance is appreciated

Check the HTML source of your site to see where it's expecting the images. The default setting is the "articles" directory in this path:

$_CONF['path_images'] = $_CONF['path_html'] . 'images/';

which translates to /path/to/geeklog/public_html/images/

If you changed that setting, please change it back, as there is a bug in Geeklog 1.3.9 that may cause problems here.

bye, Dirk

It seems like i have tried everything, twice.


this is my config.php

$_CONF['path_images'] = $_CONF['path_html'] . 'images/';


$_CONF['image_lib'] = '/home/content/l/m/a/lmadysen2/html/backend/public_html/images/articles'; // can be one of 'netpbm', 'imagemagick', 'gdlib'

$_CONF['debug_image_upload'] = true;

--------------

Did you read the comment for the image_lib line? It says it can be one of 'netpbm', 'imagemagick', 'gdlib'.

You have put a path there.

Just leave it an empty string and see what happens e.g.

$_CONF['image_lib'] = '';

Dirk,

Ok, I have found the problem now, I just don't know how to fix it.
you were right, checked html code and sure enough it was looking for image in (root)/images and is saving them to backend/public_html/images.

I ftp'd the image to (root)/images and magic - i have images.

Now what is the source of this problem and how do i fix it. My path info of config.php is above in the previous posts, except:

$_CONF['path_html'] = $_CONF['path'] . 'public_html/';

I think image problem has to do with my installation. The paths are not right or something.
Here is what I did:

Uploaded contents of public_html file in godday root ../../html/

Then I put everything else in .../../html/backend

This seems like this is not right because I am having path problems intalling the forum too.
?

Also

This is what I don't undestand. My GL is expecting to find the image in "webroot .../images/articles

not,

backend/public_html/images/articles

which is what below line is pointing to -

$_CONF['path_images'] = $_CONF['path_html'] . 'images/';

So do I have to move my config.php file to my root and point $_CONF['path and the the $_CONF['path_images'] = $_CONF['path_html'] . 'images/';

Would that point to webroot /images?

Sorry, this is all very confusing. Could you please quote what you currently have for $_CONF['path'] and $_CONF['path_html']?

bye, Dirk

$_CONF['path'] = '/home/content/l/m/a/lmadysen2/html/backend/'

$_CONF['path_html'] = $_CONF['path'] . 'public_html/';

Guys, this can't be this difficult, help me out here!

my images are being saved to: mygeeklogsite.com/backend/public_html/images/articles

it is looking for the images at:
mygeeklogsite.com/images/articles

How do I fix this?

Umm
Not sure but shouldn't it be

$_CONF['path'] = '/home/content/l/m/a/lmadysen2/'

$_CONF['path_html'] = $_CONF['path'] . 'html/';
