When I upload an image in a K2 item the page times out and gives the error:
"The connection was reset
The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading."

I can upload the same images via the media manager without any errors.

If I try to add the image to the K2 article direct from a pre-uploaded image in the media manager I get the same error.

I did not get this when first installed.

Can anyone suggest how I can rectify this problem?

Thanks.

Who also like to know why this is happening. It was working now just bombs out.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

I think it is due to the size of the image I was trying to upload.

Having reduced the size of the file it will work. This doesn't make a lot of sence though because I can upload the full size image using the Joomla image manager without any problem.

Could it be related to the amount resources the host uses to process the lager image in K2?

Hi. When you upload an image using the media manager you just perform the upload. When you add an image to K2 , beside the upload, the image needs to be scaled in 6 different dimensions. So probably you need to use reduced size images or tweak PHP settings like memory limit, max execution time etc.

php.ini settings are:

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
; Resource Limits ;
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

max_execution_time = 120 ; Maximum execution time of each script, in seconds
max_input_time = 180 ; Maximum amount of time each script may spend parsing request data
memory_limit = 128M ; Maximum amount of memory a script may consume (8MB)

Should I increase or decrease?

I am going to ask JoomlaRT for a solution as the site is running a template which they designed...

The 128M for memory limit is fine. But in case you are uploading very large (huge) images increasing it may help.

Hi Lefteris

Thank you for your prompt reply and suggestion, much appreciated! The size of the file I am trying to upload is 69 677 bytes (tiny)

I think this a JoomlaRT issue, unless I'm missing something...

I really do appreciate your valued feedback! It may help others on this forum.

Im now having this problem. On two different Macs running LAMP with mountain lion.
Ive checked the php.ini and all values should be good enough.

Anyone got any suggestions? Cheers

Any solutions to this topic?
I'm experiencing the same issue. Joomla v3.0.2 - K2 v2.6.2

Getting Apache error:
httpd(7650) malloc: *** error for object 0x7fff5fbfd990: pointer being freed was not allocated
*** set a breakpoint in malloc_error_break to debug
[Thu Nov 29 17:31:37 2012] [notice] child pid 7650 exit signal Abort trap (6)

I never had a repsonse to the problem. It's a hosting problem as far I can see, not allocating enough memory to the process causes it to fail.

I had to install an new lamp stack for the mac which solved the problem.

I just put MAMP and Joomla 2.5 and the newest K2 on my MAC with Mountain Lion and have the same issue - the connection gets reset on uploading images, even small images.

On Mountain Lion I can replicate this using MAMP set to php5.4, reverting to 5.2 and the error is gone, so temp fix may be to simply revert to older version of PHP. I haven;t tested 5.3 yet.

Im now successfully using php 5.4.6. Stumbled across this the other day. Makes setting up a web server on a mac a breeze.... php-osx.liip.ch/

Joomla 2.5 and k2 works fine when using this setup.

Hi, I too am having the same problem.
I am very new to Joomla and have also just installed K2 today (which I am already loving by the way, even though I have the same error)!
I am using Mac OS X 10.6.8 and have a local installation of Joomla 2.5 9. I'm using MAMP and PHP is 5.4.4.

Even without K2 installed I've been seeing lots of error messages when working in Joomla. After installing K2 I am still seeing the same kinds of errors. The list below was displayed after selecting an Item to edit:

Now, when I first installed the RocketTheme template, I quickly learned that I had to increase the memory in config.php to 128M. So, that's done.

So, now that I've installed K2, I've imported my existing content to K2. Now I'm trying to insert an image into an item. As soon as I hit save I receive the same error as everyone else in this thread:

The connection was reset

The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.

The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few
moments.
If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network
connection.
If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure
that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.

I hope that the error messages above will go some way with trying to solve this problem? I have error reporting set to maximum but I can't see any error specifically relating to the crash I'm receiving when inserting an image.

Apologies for the rather long message!

...and now that I have maximum error reporting set, the actual page on the site is showing the following error:

Strict Standards: Declaration of JParameter::loadSetupFile() should be compatible with JRegistry::loadSetupFile() in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/cerulean-rocketlauncher_j25/libraries/joomla/html/parameter.php on line 24

...if that's any help?!
