Hello, this is my first question in this forum...

I am running Joomla 2.5 and k2 2.6.2.

Until recently, I had no problems uploading images into items using the image tab in both front end and back end. That function no longer works. Here's what happens:

1. I write an article in a the content area, assigning a title, tags and category etc. I save the article.
2. Using the Image Tab, I select an image (not large, no spaces in filename, jpg or png).
3. I click Save
3. The status bar shows the percentage of upload from 0% - 100% no problem.
4. The screen refreshes to the content pane
5. When I click on the image tab, there is nothing there.
6. When I navigate to the media/k2/items folder, the image is not there
7. When I use the "Browse server" option, the image appears as it should in item and category view.

Problem solving so far:
1. I have set my server max upload to 20Mb.
2. I have turned error reporting to maximum - no error is reported
3. I have edited my server php.ini file to increase processing and input time
4. The folder permissions are writable
<edit>
5. Have temporarily changed the IIS settings to give unlimited access to users
6. Have applied CHMOD 777 to every file on the site


Please, any ideas?

YOur truobleshooting looks correct. The fact that it worked and then stopped working points to something that must have changed in your install. Did you install other components or plugins?

Hi William,

Thanks for your reply.

I have uninstalled all plugins that I installed since the problem. No good.

BUT

I stumbled on the problem:

On the IIS Server (Windows) - I found that the folder c:\windows\temp - was locked tight! A security review was done during the week (no one told me) and some tech thought it would be good to remove read write permission.

Even though that folder is outside the root folder for the site, PHP uses it for temporary storage and processing.

Once I changed the CHMOD on the folder - all good.

I hope this helps someone else, because it has been one heck of a frustrating day, 12 hours to launch!!!

Thanks again,

Greg

:P :P :P :P :P

Thanks for the info....Very few people here ask questions about iis, its sorta like greek to me, but works!
