Hi,

IMCE seemed to install correctly giving the The directory files/img has been created message

However, when trying to upload an image, I get the following message: No files were uploaded.

The folder is writable. The file size and type is okay.

Any idea what it may be?

Any possible link with the download method (public/private)?

Perhaps a more verbose message would be desirable.

Using IMCE 4.7.0, 30/10/2006 - 03:32 on 4.7.4

Thanks
FnL

Perhaps watchdog has a more verbose one in /admin/logs

It sounds like an issue worth submitting to http://drupal.org/project/issues/imce
The fact that that it totally evades watchdog may help narrow down the problem's location.

Perhaps someone has experienced something similiar before.

Thanks for your input, CogRusty!

Experienced a similar problem yesterday when I tried IMCE for the first time. I could upload the image, and even insert it into the page. I didn't get an error message and watchdog was sleeping too.

However, when I tried to preview or subtmit the page, the image was not there! It would not show on the screen, but would be there when I went back to edit the page. Totally baffling behavior!

It was only after I added the image as "Attach File", that it would show on the screen.

Try to attach the image as a file for a temporary fix.

if (!is_uploaded_file($file['tmp_name']) || !isset($_SESSION['imcetotal'])) {
    drupal_set_message(t('No files were uploaded.'), 'error');
    return false;
  }

- your system's temporary upload directory may not be accessible by php for reading/writing the uploaded file. if you can upload files with upload.module this option is negligible. actually i have no idea what causes this.
- or there may be a problem with session registration of "imcetotal" variable. check "sessions" table in your database to be sure it is recorded successfully.

I am running on hosting by Powweb.com and I noticed IMCE 'break' after running well for a while.

A look at phpinfo() showed this:
TMPDIR = /home/users/web/mycustomername/htdocs/cgi-bin/tmp

So I went to the cgi-bin directory and discovered that there was no 'tmp' directory. I created it, CHMOD to decent permissions, and all is well now.

Thanks for this module, ufku!

( The reason Powweb.com changed its TMP settings unexpectedly is detailed here: http://forum.powweb.com/showthread.php?t=70943 )

File uploads silently failing on Windows when magic_quotes_gpc = On: fix_gpc_magic() strips legitimate backslashes from $_FILES

Take a look at this issue:

http://drupal.org/node/91624

This is not only a window server problem. It also happens on Unix/Linux server running Apache. Problem lies with magic quotes.

I too had this problem...toiled over it for a couple days only to discover the problem was one that was host related and php based. Quite simply here is what happened.
I use aplus.net dedicated for the site in question...turns out that on examination of the php.ini file (after creating a phpinfo script...) ... the following parameter was set.

upload_tmp_dir = none

i created the appropriate directory and changed the parameter to read

upload_tmp_dir = /usr/local/www/vhosts/mydomain.com/httpdocs/tmp

All is well now....

My problem was also in the php.ini file, but my problem was with the following line:

; Maximum allowed size for uploaded files.
upload_max_filesize = 2M

(I was trying to upload a 3M file). I changed this to 10M, and everything works great now.

We got this issue too (though our upload_tmp_dir was ';'-commented out, so should have been using the system default or something).

Since we just have the one php.ini for all our sites, I used

upload_tmp_dir = /tmp

which seems to work fine and dandy. Hooray!

NOTE TO OTHERS: For a changed php.ini to take affect, you'll probably have to restart your web server/-ice. Apache users can find details at http://webauth.stanford.edu/manual/stopping.html
