 * I worked with a crew to get this site up and going, and we used WP-Cycle for 
   a section of the header. On the demo site it worked, now bringing it over to 
   a test server to show my client, it’s not. When I try to upload an image I get
   this error….
 * _Warning: getimagesize() [function.getimagesize]: Filename cannot be empty in/
   home/jkherman/www/www/infinity/wp-content/plugins/wp-cycle/wp-cycle.php on line
   109_
 * Warning: unlink() [function.unlink]: No such file or directory in /home/jkherman/
   www/www/infinity/wp-content/plugins/wp-cycle/wp-cycle.php on line 113
 * Sorry, but the file you uploaded does not seem to be a valid image. Please try
   again.
 * Any idea what this could be?!? Very frustrated.
 * Thank you!!!

 * **Solution ::: Uploads path was incorrect, and changed permissions to my .htaccess
   file.

 * [@ggthomasgg](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ggthomasgg/):
 * I had the same problem. When running wordpress in a local xampp environment, 
   everything went smoothly. But when i tried to upload an image to my server (parallel
   plesk environment) i always got the message
 * “Sorry, but the file you uploaded does not seem to be a valid image. Please try
   again.”
 * I solved this issue after doing 3 steps:
 * 1. look if php safe_mode is enabled and if yes, deactivate it (doesn’t matter
   if php-safe_mode is blocking upload, but with safe_mode “on”, you cannot do automatic
   updates or plugin installations from dashboard after all)
 * 2. i created a .htaccess-file (also necessary for using “pretty” permalinks) 
   and gave it the chmod 744
 * 3. i gave my wp-content/uploads folder the chmod 777, after doing this wp-cycle
   uploaded the images. i don’t know if this is security-relevant, but i came to
   this after reading this article where it says the following:
 * _Some plugins require the /wp-content/ folder be made writeable, but in such 
   cases they will let you know during installation. In some cases, this may require
   assigning 755 permissions or higher (e.g. 777 on some hosts). The same is true
   for /wp-content/cache/ and maybe /wp-content/uploads/_
