Multiple issues uploading images

[tc_855]

I was just working on my project which had no issues at all before and when I saved a page I saw a small error box that said "destinationPath is not writable [images]"

So I change the permissions in my asses/files folder to 7-7-7 and that fixed it.

However when I went to create a new item I was not able to upload any images. In my console I noticed the error

Call to undefined function imagecreatefromjpeg() 

Can someone help me understand why that is?

That sounds like your PHP install doesn't include the GD library (which is unusual). How much control do you have over the server? Can you look at your phpinfo (http://php.net/manual/en/function.phpinfo.php) and check that GD or GD2 is installed?

Thanks for the reply.

I have full control over the server. I checked and couldn't find anything related to GD or GD2 in the phpinfo dump. I'll try to install it myself.

But why would it have worked in the past and just stop working now?

If it was working before, it sounds like some change occurred at the server where the file permissions got wiped out and the PHP version changed (to one with GD?).

I installed GD and also fixed my asses file permissions and it's all god now.

chmod -R og+rw /site/assets

Thanks for the help.

hmm. I'm going to jump in here to add that this seems to be intermittant on my custom from src setup. (PHP 5.5.1/ php-fpm / Nginx 1.4.2)

GD is compiled and working.  GD2 is not compiled. 

Uploaded files ARE present in the proper site/assets/files folder.. (actually 2 files for each pic.)

Permissions are 0777 recursively . 

Error.txt shows >  Call to undefined function imagecreatefromjpeg() (line 179 of /var/www/vhosts/001/wire/core/ImageSizer.php)

Image can't be found to insert into the page.  message says 'There are no images present on this page' 

Any suggestion as to further debugging ?

I'm new to processwire and perhaps I'm not grasping this process, however, I was able to get this to work once with an existing page, but not now.

Hi jacksprat,

GD is not working! because the GD-function imagecreatefromjpeg isn't defined / available in server setup.

Please check / enable GD-library for PHP.

Update:  fixed using  --with-jpeg-dir=/usr/lib64 \ as a directive for the compiler.

Hello Horst ,

php -v shows that it's compiled and enabled.  Since php was built from source, I made sure.  

I've done more testing and found there are no issues with gif's -  only jpg's.  

Doing a var_dump(gd_info)); shows that Jpg support is not enabled.   I'll recompile and try another setting I found.  Thanks !
