+suzylou Posted April 20, 2005 Share Posted April 20, 2005 The last 24 hours I've been trying to upload a photo to go with one of my finds. It takes forever, then I get a "server error" page which as far as I can tell is written in "geek"...anyone know what is going on? It looks like a server error rather than that my picture is too big or anything like that, but is there a max size limit? Link to comment

Jeremy Posted April 20, 2005 Share Posted April 20, 2005 From the error it looks like the system is unable to resize the photo you are uploading. What kind of photo is this? JPG? GIF? And are you using a Mac or Windows machine? Link to comment
+sbell111 Posted April 20, 2005 Share Posted April 20, 2005 How big is the file? Have you tried to resize the pic and then load it to the site? Link to comment
Jeremy Posted April 20, 2005 Share Posted April 20, 2005 The system is pretty good at resizing photos for you, and the size requirements would have restricted the image from getting to the point of being saved to disk. My thought is the image is somehow mangled in such a way that the resizing functions in my code is having a mycardial infarction and erroring out. (laymans terms: it doesn't know what to do with it). Sometimes resizing the image in a software application will fix the image file and allow it to be uploaded. Link to comment
+StarBrand Posted April 20, 2005 Share Posted April 20, 2005 I've seen a similar error in the photo section on our wnag web site - turned out it was some kind of ultra long and weird looking file name from some off brand digital camera - changed the file name to something normal before upload and it worked fine. Just a thought..... Link to comment
+suzylou Posted April 21, 2005 Author Share Posted April 21, 2005 It's a jpeg, just under 1meg, and its name is less than 8 characters long. I'm using Win XP and Firefox as my browser. I don't THINK there should be anytihng screwy with it Just running off to work now, but will try resizing it and uploading it again later....will keep you posted. Thanks for the help Link to comment
+suzylou Posted April 21, 2005 Author Share Posted April 21, 2005 Resizing the image worked. Thanks for your help! Link to comment
