Problems with Image Uploading

Hello,

I am having trouble uploading image files to attach to items. I was able to upload a few images without a problem but then all of a sudden I began to get the error message "Something went wrong with image creation. Please notify an administrator" whenever I tried to upload an image. This happens with both .jpeg and .gif files. When I try to upload an image, the file lands in the omeka/archive/files directory but no thumbnails or full size files are made. I do not have problems uploading .pdf or .txt files. I have looked at a number of forums, including the one below that seemed to outline a similar problem but couldn't find a resolution or solution that seemed to apply to this problem:

http://omeka.org/forums/topic/blank-screen-after-image-uploading?replies=6#post-2775.

Details:

Running Omeka 1.1

1) I have made sure all folders in the archives directory are rewritable by the server.

2) I have checked with the provider (servage.net) that the path to the imagemagick binary is valid.

3) debug.exceptions = true and display_errors 1 both are turned on, but give no extra info on that blank screen. However I do get the following when turning on error logging:

2010-04-15T22:43:33+00:00 DEBUG (7): Could not retrieve element text for the element named "IPTC Array"
2010-04-15T22:43:33+00:00 DEBUG (7): Could not retrieve element text for the element named "IPTC String"
2010-04-16T11:01:44+00:00 DEBUG (7): Could not retrieve any MIME type elements from the database.
2010-04-16T11:15:32+00:00 DEBUG (7): Could not retrieve any MIME type elements from the database.

However, it does not give me the error message every time I try and upload a file. It only prints an error message in the log sometimes.

Any assistance or ideas would be much appreciated!

Many thanks,
Elizabeth

Hi Elizabeth,

We added something in Omeka 1.2 that allows Omeka (and Zend) to check the file header for its MIME type. If you can, upgrade to the 1.2 release and see if that helps.

Best,
Jeremy

Ok, will give that a try! Thanks!
