File failed to upload
Hey folks. I am new to Vanilla forum and I truly like it. However there is one thing that I am struggling with already second day today.
I can't upload any attachment to a discussion.
Interesting enough I can't do it here on official forum either. It keeps saying: "File failed to upload."
I have checked permissions for the user, I have upload permissions on my forum. I have also checked php.ini and file upload is enabled (which is also proven by the fact that I was able to upload my profile picture). I don't know what else to try as I can't get any more specific message out of it.
Now when I saw that I can't upload the file in here, I was thinking the issue may have been on the client side, but I had my friend trying to upload an attachment and it hasn't been working for him either.
Any idea? It's driving me crazy.
Thanks a lot.

if you can't upload an attachment here. It can be one of three+ reasons.
without you providing specific information on size, type of attachment, etc, it is impossible to guess beyond that.

Thank you for your reply.
I have tried several file types: jpg, png, txt and several sizes, most of them below 2mb, one of them was only a favicon.png of a very small size. My internet connection is just fine and it doesn't time out.
Can you please try to do the upload on my forum? http://maguss.org/forum
Thanks again.
you said you can't upload to this forum. so
download this image to your computer
change the name to testimage.png on your computer.
and try to re-upload it to this forum vanillaforums.org and then use your web developer tools to determine if there was any error in request or other errors
once again if you don't use exact specs. impossible to tell name size resolution.
I suggest you study these, since you might be the only one able to troubleshoot.

This image works on this forum. I have now tried also different image and it worked well. But neither of these work on my forum still
I can't see the image you tried on this forum.
so I can't help.

Huh. Weird.
Could you confirm the caylus account on your forum? I didn't get the confirmation email and the Google+ signin also doesn't work.
I'm able to upload files here, so I can try it on your forum too.
What browser and OS are you using? Can you try Google Chrome if you're not using that already?
Thank you Caylus, really appreciate your help. I am having troubles with that email sending. For some reason AWS SMTP doesn't work. But will fix that ASAP then you can try to upload. Will ping you here.
Btw if you would be willing to help me with this, we could connect on Skype and I could pay you for it. I mean I have limited time right now and I am unsure if I can fix all I need. My id: zatokar1
So, if you try to upload something that's way to big on your forum, you get the appropriate error. It's clearly able to tell something about the uploaded file.
But after that, $_FILES[$InputName]['error'] equals UPLOAD_ERR_NO_FILE. I have no idea what that means or what causes it (especially since it's clearly able to detect the file size, so you would expect the uploaded file to exist somewhere), except that I'd expect a UPLOAD_ERR_CANT_WRITE (judging from the name) if there was something wrong with your write permissions.
Could you check max_upload_filesize, max_post_data_size, memory_limit, max_execution_time in your php.ini file?
Which version of PHP are you using?
Thanks for the offer of paying me by the way, but I'd recommend hiring an actual programmer for that if you're on a deadline.
These are properties:
upload_max_filesize = 2M
post_max_size = 8M
max_execution_time=300
My php version is: 5.5.38 and vanilla version: 2.2.1
I am not sure if I can find anyone within the time. I would need an assistance. Feel free to add me, we can discuss it there too. Thanks.
Forgot to mention, avatar image upload works just fine.
Sorry, I made a mistake. It might be an UPLOAD_ERR_NO_FILE, it might also be an other error.
Can you enable logging: https://vanillaforums.org/discussion/26786/tutorial-how-to-enable-a-debug-log-and-collect-debugging-information
And then add a few logging commands to [your root folder]\library\core\class.upload.php ?:
public function validateUpload($InputName, $ThrowException = true) { $Ex = false; //Add the following line: LogMessage(__FILE__,__LINE__,serialize($_FILES));And (later on in the same function)
And report the output of log/debuglog to here?
That might shine some light on what exactly is going wrong.
Thank you for your guidance, here is the output (not sure how to put it to a block of code):

K, you can remove the two LogMessage lines ( LogMessage(FILE,LINE,serialize($_FILES)); and the other), there's no issue with that part of the code. I would keep logging on for now though, might be handy.
You create code blocks by starting and ending them with three ~'s by the way!
Like this:

Can you check in your database if there's a table gdn_media present?
And can you disable and then reenable the advanced editor plugin? (That'll hopefully cause it to create all the tables it needs).
There is table gdn_media and it contains only entries from changing a profile picture. I have reenabled the advanced editor plugin soo many times already. Didn't help
.
Sorry man. I'm at a loss. I'd personally back everything up, delete everything (also the database), start over with the most basic theme and no plugins, try to see if you can upload files, if yes, start changing the theme and add plugins until it doesn't work anymore.
Or, simply disable the advanced editor for now while you launch.
You can then try using a local version of Vanilla with XAMPP for example to see if you get the uploads working there, add your theme to see if it crashes the upload etc.etc.
I see some issues might be related , you need to use pretty Urls. You must make sure that your htaccess file is correct, and the you have enabled rewrite module.
Some plugins require this and in the future it will be required in the next version of vanilla. Most issues are caused by failure to set these things up properly.

Shame. Thank you for your help anyway.
btw in the log I can see something about database etc, isn't that the problem?
@zatokar
This might help, if you don't choose to ignore it … download and extract the file I attached and upload it to your forum folder , the link to see the settings of the PHP and all the other things like memory etc
yourforum.com/phpinfo.php
and there you can see what the settings are and you can ask your host to modify them if need be, below are the values I have in my phpinfo page for my setup. It seems your values are incorrect for a couple of these.
file_uploads ON
upload_max_filesize 20M
post_max_size 20M
max_execution_time 120
max_file_uploads 20
memory_limit 128M

Thanks a lot for popping in with your ideas. I have uploaded the file there, it all seems correct in my setup. Also take into account that avatar picture can be loaded just fine. Any other ideas? Can it be related to DB or versions of something?
