I am unable to upload.  When I try I get the following error:

"No picture was uploaded. If you have really selected a picture to upload, check that the server allows file uploads..."

I checked the faq, and my /etc/php.ini file was setup correctly.  However the default upload tmp directory was not defined.  I am wondering if the default it is using is somehow disabled in apache or if there is some kind of .htaccess issue.

If it helps I am running the latest apache from the 1.3 tree, php 4.(latest as of January), and MySQL 4.(what ever is the latest).   Php and Mysql are functioning correctly for sure, I am running a site built on drupal.  Uploading is the only error I have come across, this is the 3rd (and coolest) image gallery package I have tried, so it must be a HTTP upload error.  

Please advise.  Thank you.

P.S.  would it matter that the path to cpg is "http:/site/dev/cpg" rather than "http:/site/cgp"?

I did turn on debug mode and this is the error I get.  I looked at the file, and don't know what to edit, or what the problem is that is causing the error.

No picture was uploaded !

If you have really selected a picture to upload, check that the server allows file uploads...

File: /www/htdocs/drupal/dev/cpg/db_input.php - Line: 216


Notice: Undefined index: userpicture in /www/htdocs/drupal/dev/cpg/db_input.php on line 216
------------------------------------------------------

Here is that section from the file:
------------------------------------------------------
 // Test if the filename of the temporary uploaded picture is empty
        if ($HTTP_POST_FILES['userpicture']['tmp_name'] == '') cpg_die(ERROR, $lang_db_input_php['no_pic_uploaded'], __FILE__, __LINE__);

Apparently you have to know php well to use this software
Thanks for the help.

well, the big question is: does your server allow http uploads. To find out, test-run a small script that does http uploads, or ask your webhost. If you're with a budget webhost (or even on free webhosting), it's possible that they disabled http uploads.
In fact, this is not a problem of coppermine (or php), but usually a matter of server setup.
