Cannot upload image

I have exactly the same problem.
I get the error message "C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\tmp838.tmp" could not be copied.
But then I also see "The Image has been edited" confirmation.

Is there some way of finding out why the file could not be copied?

my guess would be that your webserver is limiting the uploaded files to a certain file size. you should try uploading a smaller file.

the audio module displays a the maximum upload size next to the browse button using code like t('The current PHP configuration limits file uploads to %maxsize.', array('%maxsize' => format_size(file_upload_max_size())));

I have two testsites on the same server. In one of them I get exactly this problem, on the other it works fine. Haven't got a clue why. But it has nothing to do with size.

what do you have set as the image modules' files directory? on both sites?

images. Which is the same as files/images. It looks exactly the same on both sites.

i've run into problems with simply using 'images' i've had to use 'files/images'

Tried about everything mentioned. Still isn't working.
I think the problem can be found in file.inc, where there is a function called 'file_copy'.

The error warning ('The selected file C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\tmpC56.tmp could not be copied to files/ikke.jpg.') is generated in this function on line 377. I've added the $dest to provide some more information.

Strange thing is that when i upload an image, the resize function returns an "everything ok" message.

Could the problem be related to the "copy" PHP function?

I'm having the same problem, I've tried everything suggested and just cannot get it to work.

Had a last go at this and finally managed to get it to work. It seems to be a problem with the permissions on the temporary file. By default the temp file seems to be "c:\windows\temp". I created a temp file in the druipal installation, went to Administer > siteconfiguration > File System and changed the "Temporary Directory" to the new folder. It's now all working fine.

Hope this helps!

Hi sfa,

what exactly did you enter in this field?

On this screen there is a warning at the field with the "files" location that if you change this while this is already used, this will generated problems. What kind of problems can i suspect? The one that i'm experiencing now on two different webservers, one windows IIS 6, the other one an Apache server...

I'm getting a bit desperate here...
