The previous file could not be placed.

You have successfully placed all the files.
***********************************************

I'm getting that error on RH9/Apache2/PHP4.3.9

I'm also getting it on Win2k/IIS/PHP4.3.7

Permissions on the albums, include, edit, and userpics folders are 777 on both systems.  The database(s) are fine.

The files actually DO get put into userpics.  When I get to the screen to add comments, it shows as a broken .jpg, and hitting continue will throw the error at the top of this message.

What did I miss?

Are you using GD or ImageMagick?  Have you tried the other solutions regarding this problem?

Please post a link to your site and create a normal user and post the name/password here also.

I chmod to 777 by giving everyone full access to the directory's in question, I thought that would be the same.  I also added the two IUSER user's just for good measure.  I'll add a user and post it shortly.  TIA.  Oh...ImageMagick.

All I was missing  was a trailling / in the path to ImageMagick for both.  Any idea why the batch add page asks me to specifiy a directory to batch, but there's no place to specify it?

TIA

In the documentation that comes with Coppermine (in the docs directory) the batch add process is explained.  In a nutshell, if you create directories in the albums directory, those directories will show up when you batch add.  NEVER upload files into the userpics directory.  Please review the documentation for the complete details.

I consider your original problem solved.
