MIME Error

[powerful_rogue]

Content visible to registered users only.

Ive checked the file size and its well below 500kb. Ive read through all the help sections on here but to no avail.

The photoplog/images section has been chmod to 777. Safe mode is switched off.

Only problem I can think of is that there was no tmp folder on the server - so i created one in the root and chmod it to 777.

Im running vb 3.6.7 - This is a fresh install.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Sounds like a problem with the /tmp directory. Check your php.ini file:
Content visible to registered users only.
Also check to see which groups can access the /tmp directory. If you need to change groups try chown and note that if /tmp is the system default, you don't need to edit the php.ini file, assuming you created a root /tmp directory.

Where is the php.ini file? Should that be in the /tmp folder? If so I havent got one as for some reason no tmp directory was located on the server.

I created a new folder called tmp and chmod it to 777.

Im all a bit lost when it comes to tmp! What groups do you mean when you say check if the can access them?

Sorry to be such a pain!

Run locate php.ini from the command line to find the php.ini file, and no, the php.ini file should not be in the /tmp directory. As for group information, run man chown from the command line to read more about it. The /tmp directory needs to be accessible and writable so that HTTP uploads can go there. You should really speak to your sysadmin to help you with this, so it is set up safely and correctly, as I don't work with server setup or maintenance.

Strange thing is, its working for everyone else, but I keep getting the same error regardless of the file size or type of file im trying to upload.

I have the same permissions as everyone else.
