Hi... I have a problem... not sure if it is a bug... After changing from SuPHP to FCGI I am no more able to upload images to an article for example... what could be wrong? I also installed EXIM in PHP when compiling... not sure if it has something to do.

Cheers

HELP PELASE! I have checked everyhting in the server, no error logs, no permission issues... ImageMagik installed and working, notes are uploaded but they are blank, no images shown and they are not broken URL's they are simply not uploaded....

Also checked the log. The log for uploaded images in: var/ezflow_site/storage/log/

says images have been saved in a XXXXX (digits) folder but they are not, the folder in fact does not exist...

what is wrong?

Cheers

Hi Luis,

Did you check that the web server process user has write privileges to the siteaccess' var directory ?

Also how did you find out that the images were not displayed ? What happens if you try to open the non-displayed image link in a separate tab ?

Cheers,

Hi Nicolas,

Thanks for answering. Yes the folder has 777 permission as stated in EZ Docs...

After compiling my Apache/PHP with FCGI, next morning the editors (a news site) told me no images were being diplayed after they uploaded new content. Content uploaded previously and banners or fixed images were showing OKI. I tried everything (including what you suggested), opening in another window, changing browsers (I have the main 6 browsers) etc... I couldnt even see the link to the images I will explain a little bit more, what I found was:

1. I deducted that Image Magick stoped working but it was running in the server.

2. Even if I stated before the opposite, images were indeed uploaded, the image was saved in its place (/storage....) but they were not showning after being uploaded. Images uploaded.

3. Images were not shown also after being published and the code of the image was not used for displaying it in the public file (as if the article didnt had any images to show). I mean there were no errros showing a missing image in the public page (like a broken icon in a box) nor the server trying to find the file. Simply no image or link to the image was loaded in the publicated content, or at least I couldnt find it in the code.

4. After reading some posts (including one from Gaetano Giunta) I decided to disable Image Magick and leave GD2 enabled. This solved the problem instantly. Images began to show for the articles that were uploladed after the compilation.

Somehow ImageMagick doesnt want to work with either FCGI or Exif.

Hope this is an isolated issue otherwise may it be considered a bug?

Cheers

Hi Luis,

It first sounds all good that you fixed the issue. Secondly, i can not really imagine ImageMagick not working because of FCGI, since we are talking about two unrelated layers here, but Exif could be the source of problems. I searched for "exif" in the issue tracker ( http://issues.ez.no/ezpublish ) and there are indeed a few open issues. If you take a look there by yourself, you might spot yours.

Running a small image conversion script from CLI, using bin/php/ezexec.php could help making sure ImageMagick was the problem, and better see errors.

Cheers,
