Error Local file does not exist was created by dave

Hi, when I try to add an image to a category I get 'Error Local file does not exist'. Looked at other posts
here and here but the fixes don't seem to solve the problem.

On ampps localhost running Joomla 3.3.3 and K2 2.6.8.

Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Is it possible to paste the filename here?

new farm park.jpg

Took the spaces out this morning to make it newfarmpark.jpg and it worked.

Why does K2 now decide it doesn't like spaces? All my other files have spaces. Just an hour before this error it was using files with spaces.

Additional info: clicking browse server in category, 50% of the time it says connection reset. Never did that before.

Also tried reinstalling K2 - didn't help.

You need to check your error to see what is crashing your system.
Keep in mind that you are running Joomla! in a localhost and not on a real server.

Could you give me some obvious places to start looking? I'm a bit out of my depth here.

@dave

K2 didn't decide anything, your server did. Avoid spaces and other special characters to the files you upload. The connection timeout is also a response from your server. Try to set error reporting to maximum and enable system debugger to see any errors. You might also have to look at your server error logs.

Same here with a file named "logo_viajes espaa custom 2.jpg",

Media maganer returns the following filename (urlencoded) when you select it:

/images/stories/Empresas/logo_viajes%20espaa%20custom%202.jpg

Obviously, K2 can't find it later.

Hello,

As Lefteris said, Avoid spaces and other special characters to the files you upload.

To resolve this issue i modify
/httpdocs/administrator/components/com_k2/models/item.php
at row 630 inside else i add

$myDir		= $savepath.DS.$row->id;
$galleryDir 	= opendir($myDir);
while ($filename = readdir($galleryDir))
{
	if ($filename != "." && $filename != "..")
	{
		$file 		= str_replace(array(")","("," "), "_", $filename);
		$safefilename 	= JFile::makeSafe($file);
							
		rename($myDir.DS.$filename, $myDir.DS.$safefilename); 
							
	}
}
closedir($galleryDir);

...think for the next update of k2?

Hello Sergio,

Thank you for your feedback.
Could you create a PR on our repo github.com/getk2/k2 so we can evaluate it and possibly add it in the core?
