Can't upload files

[coreysh]

I can't upload any file to OMP. When I try to modify appearance of the website (Management --> Settings --> Website --> Appearance tab). It indicates that the file was uploaded but when I click on OJ button, I get the following error message: "No file uploaded or invalid file type"

I check the folder permission.

Hi Coreysh,

How does the interface indicate that the file was uploaded? Did you Click the Start Upload button, and did it give you an indication that the file uploaded entirely? Are you running into problems uploading files elsewhere?

Cheers,

Yes, I did click on the Start Upload button and it said it's been uploaded but when I clicked on the OK button, I got an error message. However, I was able to upload a file to to a different location: Publication --> Submission Documents.

Here are the screenshots where the error occurs:

Any suggestions? Anyone?

Hi coreysh,

Apologies in the delay in getting back to you. I suspect that this is a filetype/mimetype issue -- that your server isn't establishing the correct file type (in this case, .png) for the uploaded file. That image upload area where you are having problems is one of the few places that OMP checks file types -- it doesn't check in Publication -> Submission Documents, for example. You may find this FAQ entry to be of help. Let us know if you have any further questions.

Cheers,
James

Hi everyone,
I get the same error message when trying to upload images at the management submenus.When i tried to track the source of the error message i got this :

omp has produced an error Message: WARNING: assert(): Assertion failed In file: /var/www/omp-1.0b/lib/pkp/classes/core/PKPRequest.inc.php At line: 772 Stacktrace: Server info: OS: Linux PHP Version: 5.3.10-1ubuntu3.4 Apache Version: Apache/2.2.22 (Ubuntu) DB Driver: mysql DB server version: 5.5.28-0ubuntu0.12.04.3
##installer.installFilesDirError##

Any suggestions on what is going on?
Thanks in advance for any advice.

Hi Thanasis,

Are you able to upload files e.g. in the submission process? There are two likely causes: permissions problems in the public/ subdirectory, and MIME type identification problems. If your file permissions on public/ (and everything it contains) are sufficient, then you can check for potential MIME issues by uploading the image to a submission and checking what MIME type is identified by looking in the file_type column of the monograph_files table. (I don't think the error message you included is related -- it looks like that is from a previous install attempt.)

Hi all,

It was a permissions issue with the public folder after all.I had changed its permissions and forgot about it.It works fine now.
Thanks for the help Alec.

Hi chenbing,

Can you double-check the file permissions in the "public" subdirectory of your OMP installation and any subdirectories you see there? PHP scripts need to be able to create/modify that directory and its contents.

I have set the priviledge. add "everyone" and "users" on the file folders, then grant all the rights to them, but can't resolve the problem.
I suggest use the OJS's image upLoad code replace.
I hope OMP team can write detailed install setp and related configuration.
Thank you!~

This problem is caused by the function mime_content_type($filename) { } in file \omp\lib\pkp\classes\core\String.inc.php
if you're using Windows and your php version >=5.3
1. you should edit your php.ini as follow:
replace
;extension=php_fileinfo.dll
by
extension=php_fileinfo.dll
Please don't forget to restart your phpwind or wamp!
If it works then you don't need to do anything anymore. Otherwise proceed to step 2.
2. edit your omp\lib\pkp\classes\core\String.inc.php as follow:
replace
$fi = finfo_open(FILEINFO_MIME, Config::getVar('finfo', 'mime_database_path'));
by
$fi = finfo_open(FILEINFO_MIME, null);

I had a similar issue on my dev server. Folder permission is usually the suspect for the uploading error but if you have verified the permission setting is correct then try reinstalling PHP again. I reinstalled PHP to 5.3 and everything was working again. Hope this helps.

Hi, I've updated OMP to 1.0. (OPM 1.0b was working fine). The problem is: I can upload a file but it's not possible to continue. In the apache log file I get a DB error: Unknown column 'sales_type' in 'field list'.
I have (temporarily) changed the directory files in /public to 777 but no differences.
I have a Linux based server and PHP 5.3.6
Any suggestions?
Kind regards, Marion
