HELP vmError: Sorry,It's not a valid media file

[gedas646]

Everything worked fine before, and now ive got same errors on 2 different websites, they have different joomla and virtuemart versions. 2.5.8 and 2.0.26d, and 2.5.16 and 2.0.24b. Before i could upload my product pictures, but from 2day when i tried to upload it says "Vmerror: Sorry,It's not a valid media file" have no idea what happend, tried to google it but no luck, ofc. i found some guys with same issues, tried to do the same and nothing, same error.. permisions set to writeable. Please help with this i have no idea how to fix this issue..

I assume the files are actually jpeg, apart from that an occasional issue is that they have been named image.JPG when they should be image.jpg

Ref your Joomla versions see http://forum.virtuemart.net/index.php?topic=118683.0

Well file name is okey, exactly how it should be. i add 2photos

I tried to change my VM version to 2.0.26a and i noticed ive got an error while instaling this, also updated both sites joomla version to 2.5.17
vmError: alterTable ADD eeua5_virtuemart_order_userinfos.zip :
vmError: alterTable ADD eeua5_virtuemart_userinfos.zip :
vmError: Tableupdater updating table eeua5_virtuemart_userinfos throws error Duplicate column name 'Zip' SQL=ALTER TABLE `eeua5_virtuemart_userinfos` ADD zip char(32) NOT NULL DEFAULT '' FIRST

Could i delete whole VM without any history left? and re-install it, maybe it will fix everything?

Try Tools/Install or if necessary update tables, but it sounds as if you have a bad installation or bad host.

[gedas646]

Everything worked fine before, host is mine own, i tried unistall like u said, when i install vm all history was saved. I need to delete all files by my own.
How i should reinstall these tables? Could these tables solve me a picture problem?
btw one site was backup site and it used same table prefix "eeua5" and they hosted on same server. Could be this is a problem?
p.s. i didnt tried add new product pic. after i create backup site on same prefix

Tried to change table prefix, and no luck here

I noticed i cant even upload any pic from joomla using media manager, it says file is to large, maybe smth wrong with joomla? I never tried to upload from joomla to the server.

I tried do not upload image from VM and just put it into the server, linked the image like this "images/stories/virtuemart/product/motion.jpg" and here we go, it was showed, automatically created resized 90x90px picture, so i think something wrong with rules here, ill try to set everything on 777 (Changing rights to 777 doesnt solve anything) any suggestions?

[jenkinhill]

it says file is to large

Suggests php memory allocation or file size is set too low.

Never use 777 - that is something that is sometimes required on very bad hosts and is a reason for immediately finding a reliable service.

[gedas646]

tried to change max size but no luck, i have no clue how to solve that

[jenkinhill]

YOu said the host is yours so surely you can change values in php.ini

[gedas646]

what kind of values i should change in php.ini ? i changed memory size limit to 256M instead of 32M, and some other settings like post max etc.. But nothing changed. btw i tried to check my 'image' folder properties, and it says 5mb used, so wtf??
also starting get another error when trying link image
vmError: Couldnt create thumb, file not found /home/e-smith/files/ibays/norke/html/test/images/stories/virtuemart/product/motion.jpg

this is my php.ini after i changed

Possibly you have more than one php.ini?

[gedas646]

didnt saw any other php.ini, this was in etc folder where it should be. ill try to search, but i dont think i would find anything.
after search: i used fillezilla search, for php5.ini and php.ini, 3 files and 1folder of php.ini was foud, 1file was this which i text here, other 2 is empty

also i cant upload anything on joomla, using media file manager, but i can install components and other stuff via directory but i cant do this when i try to upload..

[jenkinhill]

Sounds like a whole mess of permissions, then? We can't solve hosting problems, except to recommend some good hosts......

[gedas646]

well i did permisions as writeable, or set up everything on 777 its still the same, it doesnt change anything, if that would be permisions i guess i still could upload. btw i used putty to set all my ibays new joomla sites to be writeable when i creat a new one. doing like that.


cd /home/e-smith/files/ibays/joomla
chown -R www.www html

maybe its my mistake with this. But i think if i set everything to 777, i should upload, but now i cant, thats strange.
also im using sme server 8.0

ill try install new server at another pc, and do not change anything execp php.ini, well see if it works

[jenkinhill]

I'd test with WAMPServer
