macmanx: Terribly sorry about incorrect info above. The true filepath for my images is:
http://www.richardsilverstein.com/photos/uncategorized/…
Sorry for sending you on a wild goose chase by mistakenly adding ‘tikun_olam’ to the path. It’s my blog subdirectory, but it & my photos folder are both in the public_html folder.
I just deactivated every single plugin I have & the image upload still fails.
I’ve tried using IE & FF & both fail.
Tried loggin in & out & that didn’t work either.
Try uploading the image to a directory that is inside your blog directory, like:
/home/richard2/public_html/tikun_olam/photos/
(You will have to create the /photos/ directory.)
The reason I’m using this filepath is because when I was with Typepad for some reason it created the same file path (http//:www.richardsilverstein/photos/uncategorized/…). In order to preserve old link & image filename structures Carthik & I basically recreated the same filepaths in WP & uploaded new images there along with the old ones fr. my former blog. And the WP uploads worked fine using this path until about 2 wks. ago when they just stopped working–phhht!
I do also have an images folder in this filepath–
…/tikun_olam/images/…
and I could try to change my upload path to that & see if anything changes.
UPDATE: Just as I suspected…after changing the upload path to tikun_olam/images I receive the same basic error msg:
Couldn’t upload your file to /home/richard2/public_html/tikun_olam/images/FestivalofWoodenBoatsZanzibarwp.jpg
Hm, yuck. Have you tried contacting your hosting provider about this?
That’s my next call…Maybe they did something server wise globally that would’ve affected me or perhaps something in their software conflicts with me somehow.
I wish bluehost had a user forum like hostdime & other hosts do. Then I could specifically ask WP users who use bluehost whether they’re suffering the same problem as me.
Well, I can say that I did use Bluehost and never had an upload problem, but that was a long time ago. Good luck with their support dept …
I thought I’d check the error log for my host server to see what was happening when I tried to upload a jpg image. I was hoping that the error might help a fellow member narrow down where my upload problem might lie:
MAIN error_log: [Sun Jul 31 01:19:20 2005] [error] [client 66.196.91.171] File does not exist: /home/richard2/public_html/tikun_olam/folk_and_world_music/ [Sun Jul 31 01:22:08 2005] [error] [client 67.142.130.12] Invalid URI in request GET HTTP/1.1 [Sun Jul 31 01:22:08 2005] [error] [client 67.142.130.12] File does not exist: /usr/local/apache/htdocs/400.shtml

The first thing that looks wacky here is that I see “file does not exist” and it refers to my Folk & World Music category. I was using a blank post screen which had no category associated with it. So why this part of the error appears is a mystery.
i believe this happened because the spykidz issue. i am having this problem as well. any thoughts?
