Getting 404 when I try to change profile picture [RESOLVED]

nikoskip

Hi,

I had recently updated my forum from 2.4b to 2.5.1 and the only issue that I have is that I can't change my profile picture.

Vanilla doesn't find any defined route for this two URL's:

profile/picture?userid=2&DeliveryType=VIEW (this URL is loaded inside a modal)
/profile/picture

I tried deleting my cache folder, disabling pretty url's and disabling Gravatar plugin without success.

Thanks in advance.

I just tried a clean install with the same result

My stack:

nginx 1.13.9
PHP 7.2.2
MySQL 5.7.21 (with strict mode disabled)

how does your nginx server file look? Could you please try something like that:

    location / {
        try_files $uri $uri/ @vanilla;
    }

    location @vanilla {
        rewrite ^/(.+)$ /index.php?p=$1 last;
    }

Hi @R_J

I'm currently using that configuration:

I first blame nginx, but I tried disabling pretty url's with same result. I was debugging using Xdebug and the request enters to my index.php but Vanilla doesn't find any valid route for the URL and throw a 404.

Even index.php?p=/profile/picture throws a 404 error on a clean install?

Even index.php?p=/profile/picture&userid=2&DeliveryType=VIEW throws a 404.

I really don't know what is wrong with my installation.

I found the problem: I move out my forum to a new server and it was missing the PHP GD extension. So, Vanilla was throwing a 404 instead a 500. Maybe the requirement of PHP GD should be added to the README.

The $Configuration['Garden']['Errors']['LogFile'] configuration was very helpful to figure out the problem.

Thanks!
