Topic: Error message during uploading jpg file (Read 44264 times)

ccjong · « **on:** October 12, 2003, 03:57:46 pm »

As a user, I used the uploading facility to upload a jpg file to the Coppermine. But it did not complete the uploading process but an error message

Script called without the required parameter(s).

Please help..... Thanks.

I did enter all the info required.

More info please.

Have you altered the the program in any way? If so, how? How are you trying to upload the photo (step by step)? This error is quite unique, and should not be seen during normal use.

ccjong · « **Reply #2 on:** October 13, 2003, 06:20:04 pm »

Thanks Hyperion.

These are the steps I did

Login as user
Create album
Upload picture
- Select album
- Browse to get the correct file
- Type in picture title
- Type in the description
- Type in the keywards
Upload picture

The error message (debug is on)
Script called without the required parameter(s).
File /home/admin/www.fandcm.com/html/coppermine/db_input.php - Line 37

I am quite new in PHP, really appreciate if you can help.
cry
All other functions work perfectly.

Thanks again.

ccjong · « **Reply #3 on:** October 13, 2003, 06:25:20 pm »

I did not alter any of the scripts.

I did modify the template.html under themes/default directory. I deleted

<h1>{GAL_NAME}</h1>
<h3>{GAL_DESCRIPTION}</h3>

Thanks again.

Okay, the script is saying that it does not recognize the method by which the data is being transferred. Essentially, it is looking for data using the variable tracking method. The problem could be in the following places:

First, check your PHP version against the basic requirements. It may be too old.

Second, check your php.ini and make sure you have turned register globals off. If they are on, it could cause this problem, and having them on is a major security risk anyway. Also make sure track-vars is enabled.

Third, check upload.php and make sure the form action is set to post. (Line 214)

Fourth, leave feedback.

Hi ccjong,

I have the same issue but ... :shock: ... only with large files.

Try for testing a small picture (e.g. 100 KB).

Regards,
Ingo

ccjong · « **Reply #6 on:** October 13, 2003, 07:30:44 pm »

Thanks Hyperion,\.

The Perl version is 4.1.2

In php.ini, register globals is ON. By the way, the files_upload is OFF, do I need to change to ON?

Where can I find the track-vars?

Form method is Post.

Really appreciate your help.

Thanks again.

Dear ccjong,

Quote

The Perl version is 4.1.2

I hope you mean that is your PHP version.

If it is, then track_vars is already enabled.

Change your php.ini to the following:

Code: [Select]


register_globals = Off

and

Code: [Select]


file_uploads = On

Let me know if that works for you.

Step by step...

Step (1) I selected the Upload Picture Tab.
(http://public.winkel.bz/Norm.Winkel.Bz%20Storage%20Area/pic1.jpg)
Step (2) I selected the Album from the drop down menu box.
Step (3) I clicked on the button Browse...
(http://public.winkel.bz/Norm.Winkel.Bz%20Storage%20Area/pic3.jpg)
Step (4) I selected a JPEG picture from the file system on my box.
Step (5) I entered the information as shown below.
(http://public.winkel.bz/Norm.Winkel.Bz%20Storage%20Area/pic2.jpg)
Step (6) I clicked the Upload Picture button[b/]
Step (7) I received the following error.

NormWinkel,

Did you troubleshoot as I have instructed? Have you turned on debug mode?

-Hyperion

ccjong · « **Reply #10 on:** October 13, 2003, 08:00:46 pm »

Thanks Hyperion.

Managed to change
register_globals = Off
file_uploads = On

but still the same problem.... cry

In /etc/php.ini, do I need to set the default temp uploading directory? If yes, which directory?

Thanks again.

NormWinkel · « **Reply #11 on:** October 13, 2003, 08:03:53 pm »

I checked all of the above mentioned settings. I did have registered globals = on. It is now off.

I do have upload on.

I am using PHP 4.3.3 and I am also wondering about the track-vars?Where can you find it and what does it need to be set to?

I tried uploading a small photo as suggested above as well.

I tried a 1 KB and it uploaded it.
I tried a 3 KB and it uploaded it.
I tried a 4 KB and it failed with the same error as listed above.

No where close to the size mentioned above. They are barely thumb nails.

Any help with this issue would be great.

NormWinkel · « **Reply #12 on:** October 13, 2003, 08:19:10 pm »

These are the errors as seen in debug mode.

Thanks,

I really appreciate the help...

I am actually surprised how fast you are with your replies.

hyperion · « **Reply #13 on:** October 13, 2003, 08:39:16 pm »

@ccjong: Be sure to reboot Apache after making those changes. They won't take effect unless you do. Also try uploading the very small images. Let me know what happens. Don't worry about the temporary upload location yet. That would generate a different error.

@NormWinkel: Be sure to reboot Apache. The small image behavior is very interesting. If the problem persists after restarting Apache, could you post your HTML source for the upload page? The debug array you've posted confirms what the error message is saying, which is that no info is being passed to the script in the expected form.

Also, track-vars should be track_vars (my typing mistake), and it should be on by default in both of your PHP versions.

I hope it isn't a problem, but I am not running Apache.

I looked under the minimum requirements prior to doing the install and Apache was not a requirement.

I am later planning on integrating this into my Postnuke site though.

I am running KeyFocus Webserver.

I run Postnuke on it and I don't have any problems. The only drawback is I can't run code which requires mod-rewrite (an Apache feature).

I do have both GD2 and ImageMagick. Is there a prefered one to use for the settings?

Here is a link to my configuration in case you are interested. It might help you know what you are working with.

hyperion · « **Reply #16 on:** October 13, 2003, 09:34:59 pm »

No, Apache is not required.

Just make sure your turn your web server software off and then back on so that it can reload the new php.ini after you make any changes to it.

This problem is definitely a configuration issue, so I want you to try the following script:

Code: [Select]


<?php
if &#40;isset&#40;$_POST['action'&#93;&#41; && $_POST['action'&#93; == 'submitted'&#41; &#123;
    print '<pre>';
    print_r&#40;$_POST&#41;;
    print '<a href="'. $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'&#93; .'">Please try again</a>';

    print '</pre>';
&#125; else &#123;
?>
<form action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'&#93;; ?>" method="POST">
    Name:  <input type="text" name="personal[name]"><br>
    Email: <input type="text" name="personal[email]"><br>
    Beer: <br>
    <select multiple name="beer[]">
        <option value="warthog">Warthog</option>
        <option value="guinness">Guinness</option>
        <option value="stuttgarter">Stuttgarter Schwabenbräu</option>
    </select><br>
    <input type="hidden" name="action" value="submitted">
    <input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit me!">
</form>
<?php
&#125;
?>

Save it under whatever name you like, and run it. When you hit submit, the page will change to a printout if variables are being passed, otherwise, the form will appear with its default values.

Please let me know the outcome of the test.

afaik coppermine has never been tested with "KeyFocus Webserver" (in fact, I've never heard about it). If you manage to get coppermine fully up-and-running on your server, please report, so we can check this on our compability list
I did a quick search on the old board - seems like this error only occurs for people running their own server: I'd go for a wrong server configuration. Edit your php.ini and look for the parameter
Code: [Select]
file_uploads - should be turned "on".
If you have both GD and IM, I'd go for IM because it has slightly better quality and gif support

This is what I entered before clicking on Submit.

This is the output it gave me after clicking on Submit.

I hope it helps. :shock:

Okay, so we know that you can pass variables using PHP and your server.

Try uploading in Coppermine again.
