I've been using IMCE on my site for a while and tonight I tried to use it and it's not working. The interface looks fine, it lists all the files I've previously uploaded, but when I browse to a new file and try to upload, the browsers progress bar fills up (but much faster than if it actually were uploading) and my picture never uploads. As far as I know nothing has changed, this problem popped up seemingly out of nowhere. Anyone know what the issue might be?

poolplayr commentedI found the problem after days of digging. Please try this to fix this problem.
Open your php.ini file and make sure that file_uploads is set to "On".

pknag commentedIt happens with my setup too. The upload file button basically does nothing and the window become blank. This happens on firefox 1.5 and 2 on Linux workstation. However, it works (so far) with both firefox and IE on Windows XP machine. The bizzare thing is that it worked once when I first installed it. But now it does not. Any ideas of a solution here.

davemybes commentedI believe it might be an image size problem. If you have set the maximum allowed image dimensions, and you try and upload an image bigger than that, it can give you a blank page, with no warning. I would expect it to say "image too big", but it doesn't. I use the "scale if necessary" option, thinking that it would resize bigger images to the right size, but apparently this doesn't happen.
Try ensuring that your image is within the maximum allowed dimensions (or increase the max dimensions to something like 3000x3000) and see if it works.

badxr1000 commentedExperiencing the same issue except my Image/File Browser displays "copying the file" but it never uploads. I have checked the file size, dimensions and quote and everything should be acceptable.
If I use WinSCP and upload to the same directory it accepts and I can then see it in the directory thru IMCE and can create the link.

SamRose commentedI am experiencing the same issue, too. Increasing file size upload limits unfortunately does not help me, either.

McCool commentedHi.
This may or may not be relevant.
I am using IMCE 5.x-1.0 and was having exactly the same problem. Click upload, then get a blank window.
Some smaller images were working OK. But some middle sized images only worked when not resizing.
Then I recalled a problem I had before with the ImageCache module when resizing larger images, which related directly to memory usage.
So I upped the PHP memory_limit to 128M, and sure enough, it worked a peach.
I stuck something like the following in the domain's apache config:
php_admin_value memory_limit 128M
Hope this helps someone (probably me in a couple of months when I forget how I fixed it!)
Cheers.

twsanders commentedI have a site on yahoo host and I found out that yahoo has no image toolkit i cannot upload with the image module or IMCE so I assume its that their server dosen't support it.
If any one can help please let us know.

emdalton commentedI tried adjusting memory_limit in php.ini to 128M, and still can't upload/resize large images. :(
