Hi we've bought another license of Frontplage slideshow and I've installed on Joomla 2.5.1
Everything looks OK but when I try to upload or select a new image (4. Upload or edit the slide image(s)), it gives me an error "This is not an image file"

I'm using:
Frontpage Slideshow v3.2.0
Joomla! 2.5.1

I've given 777 permitions to "media/com_fpss"
I've tried with several JPG and PNG, same results.

I need to have the site ready for tomorrow, can you help me?

Thanks
Joao Magalhaes

Pm me access to your backend please...

Hi Katia
I've sent yesterday the details of our account on backoffice through PM.

Can you please check, I need to put this online by friday.

thanks
Joao

I had the same issue and the problem was a missing php library.
After installing imageGD on the server, this worked fine.
Maybe it could help you too.

Hi Christof,
thanks a lot, I will ask IT to install it. That's a great help!!!!

Hi Christof, it really worked, the problem was with the library.
IT installed and now all works well, thanks a lot for this sharing!

My pleasure! :D

Best wishes

I am getting This is not an image file - ERROR!.
Ubuntu Server 12.04
nginex
Joomla! 2.5.6
Frontpage Slideshow v3.2.0

I followed the previous threads and installed the php5-gd as well as chmod 777 on /com_fpss. I still get the same error.

Does anyone have any more ideas on this?

Very Respectfully

Did you check your permissions?


Please install Admin Tools from www.akeebabackup.com/ in order to fix your permissions as they should be and then reinstall the extension.

Right permissions on all joomla sites:
755 for folders
644 for files

Thanks for the fast reply. I have set the permissions correctly but here is what i get under the FPSS Information tab.
Web server nginx/1.1.19
PHP version 5.3.10-1ubuntu3.4
MySQL version 5.5.24-0ubuntu0.12.04.1
GD Image library FPSS_DISABLED

do you know how I can enable the GD Image library ?

Thanks Again.
