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

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.

Here is how I FIXED it.
First verify that the GD Image Library is disabled.  Got to the component and click on the Information link you will see it DISABLED.

apt-get install php5-gd
/etc/init.d/nginx restart
/etc/init.d/php5-fpm restart

Went ahead and reinstalled the component which was probably not necessary but wont hurt.

Then check again and it is now enabled.

I am trying to upload an image file and I keep getting the error "Not an image file." 

I read the thread above and tried everything to no avail.

My GD Image is enabled, i rebuilt Apache and rebooted the server. Still doesn't work. 


Web server Apache/2.2.23 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.2.23 OpenSSL/0.9.8e-fips-rhel5 mod_auth_passthrough/2.1 mod_bwlimited/1.4 FrontPage/5.0.2.2635
PHP version 5.3.21
MySQL version 5.1.66-cll
GD Image library bundled (2.0.34 compatible)
Upload limit 2MB
Memory limit 64M

I also just encountered this error. I have two websites with FPSS installed, both on the same server. One site would produce this error, the other wouldn't. Both were running the current version of Joomla, 3.6.5. Permissions are correct on both sites. The one that failed with this error message was using FPSS version 3.6.0, the other was using FPSS version 3.7.0.

I debugged the problem and found that the error was due to improper passing of the file parameter to the upload function in /administrator/components/com_fpss/lib/class.upload.php.

I updated the problem site to FPSS 3.7.0 and the problem went away.

Hello John,

If possible update to 3.8 as well.
