Your attachment couldn't be saved

[sepulchre]

I've just started getting this message "Your attachment couldn't be saved" today, now I did just upgrade from RC1-2 to RC3 but maybe that's coincidental?

I've set my attachments directory to 777 but still no joy, any help on getting this fixed would be appreciated

Not sure if this would help, but ...

1.  Make sure the attachments directory is what it should be.

2.  Empty your cache within SMF (forum maintenance)

[sepulchre]

Thanks for the reply, the attachment directory is set correctly, I've emptied the cache as well but still no joy

Weirdly I can attached Zip, pds files etc just not jpg so the permissions settings must all be good, so maybe this is a proper bug in RC3???

Bump

Anyone??

There seems to be a few posts now regarding attachments and various problems, but if someone could help me with mine I'd appreciate it

How big is the jpg?

[sepulchre]

I've just run a couple of tests with very small jpg's 150x84px @ 4kb this was ok, but then a larger one 614x350px @ 140kb failed.

Must be a setting I'm missing somewhere?

Do you have it set to make thumbnails when it's over a given size?

[sepulchre]

tried it with and without with the same effect (thumbnail size 400x400px). unless I'm doing this wrong? (its under attachment settings right?)

Thanks btw

At 400x400, it's big enough to trigger trying to make a thumbnail. I would wonder if you have GD enabled, of which phpinfo can tell you - What is a phpinfo() file?

[sepulchre]

file uploaded and working, its here if you want to take a look

Your host doesn't have the GD library enabled, meaning that SMF cannot make thumbnails.

[sepulchre]

Ok thanks.  I will ask them to enable it

Thinking on this further, if I have thubnails disabled shouldn't the image just be displayed in what ever size it is and hence not suffer with this "your attachment cant be saved" error?
