Topic: Noah's Classifieds Image Upload Problem ...

[Anonymous]

Has anybody tried the free classifieds script "Noah's Classifieds"?

It looks and works better than most of the other scripts out there, including the pay scripts.  I've been able to get it installed on my SME server (v6) but receive the following error when trying to submit an ad with a photo attachment:

"The attached file is not a valid image file (must be gif, jpg, or png)."

I'm told that this script works fine on other servers, so it has to be something it doesn't like in the configuration of the SME server that it's not working with.  

If anybody has any experience with this, or has any suggestions, I would really appreciate it!

Thanks!

As a follow up, I've found the following errors in the message log.  Anybody know what this means?

I've found the problem.  Because PHP scripts cannot run outside of an ibay by default this script fails (as it tries to pull a temp image file from /tmp)

If you want to use this Noah's Classifieds, or another script that generates a similar problem, you have to modify your default security settings.  Here's the FAQ:

Good Luck!
