Problems with uploading a profile image and change username on forum

daniellauding

Hey,

Im having problems with my new vanilla forum installation. The problems is with uploading a profile image and change username on forum like user-settings. Getting to a "page not found" -site and for changing name you only stand loading with nothing happening.

Solutions?

I also want to ask if theres a solution to auto-accept members that applies to a forum with a certan *.@-email adress?

If you fixed it, can you please tell the rest of us how you actually did it so you can help out others as well so we can solve that similar problem. Thanks.

I had the same problem.

By looking through the source of applications/dashboard/controllers/class.profilecontroller.php , I saw that we needed a subdir under uploads called "userpics". Added that, made it 777 and owned by www-user, and now it works.

For some reason, this code failed:

// Make sure the avatars folder exists.
if (!file_exists(PATH_ROOT.'/uploads/userpics'))
mkdir(PATH_ROOT.'/uploads/userpics');

Turned out that my previous solution only worked for Admin users. For normal users, I also had to turn on "RewriteUrls". Our .htaccess looks like this:


RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php\?p=/$1 [QSA,L]

What version of Vanilla2 are you guys using?

Prior to 2.0.6, I had these same problems when not using RewriteUrls. If you haven't already, try upgrading to 2.0.6.
