Bad Type - File is of the Wrong MIME Type

[Taco John]

Hello,

I'm running into this error:

Bad Type - File is of the Wrong MIME Type

I don't quite understand why. I seem to be able to load images via the vBulletin Upload feature just fine. The file size seems to be ok. I can't even get it to work on the smallest of images. Any idea what I might be doing wrong?


Here is my PhotoPlog:
http://www.orangemane.com/photoplog


Here is my main board:
http://www.orangemane.com/BB/index.php
(note, photoplog is not linked here yet)


Any assistance you can give is appreciated.

PhotoPlog isn't able to check the file, probably because PhotoPlog cannot access the file, either from the /tmp or /images directory. Check permissions for both the /tmp and /images directories to see whether PhotoPlog is allowed access.

Hmmm... My /tmp file, which is outside of my /httpdocs file (where my site resides) is set to 776, and it says "operation not permitted" when I try to change it. Is there a way I can create a new /tmp folder inside my /httpdocs folder and direct the code to use it instead?

My /images folder inside the /photoplog directory is set at 777.

There is an upload_tmp_dir (http://www.php.net/manual/en/ini.core.php#ini.upload-tmp-dir) option in the php.ini file that'll allow you to change the temporary directory.

I just don't have the skills to even do that. Once someone says that I need to start jerking with the php.ini file, I know I have to find a different solution. I've looked and I can't even find my php.ini file.

Thanks anyway.

If you have access to *nix hell, type locate php.ini and it should tell you where the file is located.

I did that, and it says that it's in the /etc folder.

The only problem is, when I get to that folder, and type ll, it's not listed there. When I FTP to that folder, the only programs listed there are "Group" "passwd" and "termcap."

What happens when you cd /etc and then ls in the /etc directory?
