danmand Posted December 27, 2009 Report Share Posted December 27, 2009 I just had a pilot message me and told me that he couldn't setup an avatar. No error message, it says the profile was saved, but the image didn't show up. I logged into my hosting server and did not see a new image in the libavatar folder. I then tried to change my avatar image and had the same issue. There doesn't seem to be an error message but the image won't change. I did a search here and found some references to permissions being set to 777 on the avatar folders. On my hosting account, all I get to choose is "read" and "write". It doesn't say anything about 777. The version I'm using is 1.2.700 Any ideas on what to try next? Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Nabeel Posted December 27, 2009 Administrators Report Share Posted December 27, 2009 Well, try setting that folder to both read and write permissions, along with all the files in it. I'd check with your host if uploading files through PHP is allowed as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danmand Posted December 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 They were set to read and write but I reset them just in case. I contacted the hosting company and verified that I could upload through PHP. But I figured that was the case anyway since I had done it once before when I initially set everything up. I'm also having other issues as well. I can't delete a pilot from the administrator group and my rank images aren't showing up. I wonder if I did something while trying to learn everything that messed up the program. Do you think a reinstall would be in order? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Nabeel Posted December 29, 2009 Administrators Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 Yeah, give re-installing a try. Or you can try out the beta, it's pretty stable, and is going to be a full-blown release in a few days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danmand Posted December 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 Ok, will do. When I reinstall, is it better just to delete the folder and create a new one? Also, will I need to create a new database or can I just use the old one? Thanks. Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Nabeel Posted December 29, 2009 Administrators Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 You can use the old one, look at the upgrading instructions in the docs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danmand Posted January 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 Thanks Nabeel. Updating did the trick. There seems to only certain types of images that are accepted. (i.e., jpeg) Is that correct and what types are accepted. Also, if the image sizes are changed to 80 x 80 is there a limitation on the inital size or dimension of the original image? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Nabeel Posted January 4, 2010 Administrators Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 Only JPG and PNG off the top of my head, I can't remember if I support GIF (not all PHP installs support GIF). The upload size depends on your servers maximum upload size set in the PHP ini. I don't put any limitation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
