Attachment Images Not Showing
Posted: Tue Aug 04, 2009 5:01 am
Hi,
I can see from browsing the internet that this is a common problem. But so far none of the solutions that I have found for other people have worked for me. I have just recently created a personal phpBB3 forum at http://hughespage.net/forum for my family. You might not be able to access it since I am still working on it and dont always expose the port to the internet. On my home local network, I can access the forum and everything works fine accept the jpg images that I try to attach. I just end up with a post that displays the name of the image file.jpg and that's it, not the actual picture.
I am using Windows Server 2008, IIS 7.0, MySQL 5.0.84, and phpBB 3.0.5. The image files that I try to upload from inside the forum post do show up in the default phpBB3 files folder for attachments where they should on the web server. Although the name has been changed to a long string of letters. I do have ImageMagick installed and I can open each file that has been uploaded onto the server from windows. I have played around with permissions with no luck. The attachments option in the ACP is enabled.
From inside the post, once I have browsed to the image file that I want to upload and click Add File, it shows a link of the file's name that I can even click on. But then I get an error message: The selected attachment does not exist anymore, even though it clearly shows the correct directory and file name that is on the server in the error message.
I was hoping you might have some ideas on how to help,
Chris
