Actually, there is one further thing you could do... in the /administrator/components/com_k2/models/item.php file, search for //image, and then find the line that says:

$handle = new upload($image);

add a line under this as follows:

echo $handle->log; exit;

Now go and try to add an image to a K2 page. You should see the output of the log file that class.upload.php creates. Hopefully this might give you another clue.

Remember to remove that line once you've seen the log and whether it contains any errors.

This is the log I got when uploading an image.

Hmmm, that seems to show that the upload is going through ok. 
I know it's a silly question, but when you gave the /media/k2 folder 777 permissions, did you also choose to give all folders IN that folder the same 777 permissions? :)Pieter Willemsen said:This is the log I got when uploading an image.

I can give you the login codes if you have time?

Hi Pieter, did you make any progress? I sent you an email last night, let me know if you didn't receive it.

Hi,

I've got a similar problem uploading images anywhere around K2 and getting a blank screen. I've seen half a dozen other threads and posted two of my own and they get the same reply and then the thread dies.

If you guys find a solution (and I hope you do otherwise I have to stop using K2) then hopfeully it will sort out my problems as well. Just as a bit of a background I'm now using a clean install with minimal other components (just JCE and Akeeba) and I can't get an error message despite having all error reporting on. I'm not very PHP savvy like you gentleman but I'll follow this with interest.

Hi Peter,

Have you tried any of the suggestions I mentioned above? The first being to edit the class.upload.php file and change the MIME check variables to false.

If that doesn't work, I'd be adding in the line that displays the log file.

I've helped Pieter resolve his problem, it turns out his php.ini file was setting the maximum file upload size to 0MB, meaning nothing would upload. Adding the bit of code that displays the log file as I mentioned in an earlier message would hopefully show whether the problem lies in the uploading.

If you'd like a hand trying to resolve it, please send me a private message with your email address and we can go from there.

hello!

 

Is this solved?

i´m newbie in joomla and have the same problem. I'm not able to upload images from the image tab, and cannot select an image from the server, which was uploaded by ftp. In either cases, i recived a navigator blank screen when push apply or save button.

In my page information about K2, all the permissions directory are "writable". Also the directory "cache" and subdirectories. In image GD library is set to bundled (2.0.34 compatible).


Web Server
Apache

Version PHP
5.2.17

Version MySQL
5.0.68

Libreria imagen GD
bundled (2.0.34 compatible)

Multibyte string support
Habilitado

Limit upload
16M

Limite memory
64M

Abrir archivos remotos (permitir url fopen)
Yes

There are a couple of things it can be related to, so the best thing to do is to display the log created by the upload class, and go from there:

 

in the /administrator/components/com_k2/models/item.php file, search for //image, and then find the line that says:

$handle = new upload($image);add a line under this as follows:echo $handle->log; exit;Now go and try to add an image to a K2 page. You should see the output of the log file that class.upload.php creates. Hopefully this might give you another clue, but post it here if you aren't sure.Remember to remove that line once you've seen the log and whether it contains any errors.

Hey,

 

I didn't actually solve that, a web designer and web host solved it for me.  Christiaan from Spiders Web Design determined that it was a problem with my server.  I could have contacted my host to change the server appropriately (or he would have done it for me) but I opted for a much easier option, I transferred my hosting package over to him and the problem was solved straight away.

 

It was a good choice.  I've got my hands so full of just trying to learn how to design websites (doing great though I think) that I really didn't want to start learning about the various server problems I might come across.

 

Cheers.

Pete
