when I first set up Drupal and the image module it worked really well. I was able to upload without a problem. However, I have been adding modules and fiddling around, and now it doesn't work. When I submit an image node, it churns away for a bit and then pops back an error saying
"The selected file /hermes/web05/b650/pow.hongpong/drupal-test/htdocs/files could not be copied.". Oddly, it creates a zero-length file named either 'file', 'file_1' file_2 etc in the proper ultimate image destination folder each time i try, sequentially. i've tried clearing these but they come back.
At the moment I have these modules active:
aggregator, blog, collapsiblock, comment, devel, devel_node_access, embedfilter, help, image, image_attach, image_gallery, img_assist, jstools, menu, page, panels, path, poll, profile, service_links, statistics, story, tagadelic, taxonomy, throttle, upload, video, video_customfields, video_image, video_multidownload, video_optmetadata, video_params, video_upload, views, views_theme_wizard, and views_ui .
I have hosting on PowWeb (shared box), and I suspect this might be a problem with permissions, but I made sure that /files has 777 and /files/images, /files/images/temp as well. I thought maybe there was some htaccess URL rewrite glitch since I activated that (with standard file) after I got image upload working, but i can't find anything related to that in htaccess. Possibly i should try changing the group owner to the web server, but 777 ought not to make that a problem. It is running on a subdomain.
