Problems uploading user-images

Hi, maybe it's just me, but...

I saw a couple of forum posts concerning problems uploading user-images. Here is mine:

I managed to activate the upload function for every user (yay!), but everytime someone tries to upload an avatar, he/she gets a message in the following form (as a flash on pressing the submit-button):

File copy failed: source file does not exist.
Failed to upload the picture image; the avatars directory doesn't exist.

That confuses me a bit, so i looked in my log, there is a message detailing that issue:

Type	file
Date	Thursday, April 13, 2006 - 09:06
User	DangerMouse
Location	/?q=user/1/edit
Message	For /tmp/phphEk8s5 the system thinks its MIME type is while the user has given image/png for MIME type

So can anybody figure out what this is about?
My thoughts about that are as follows:

  • It says, that the source file does not exist, maybe it can't be uploaded to the server, so i checked the permissions of the tmp-directory: writeable by the webserver.
  • It says the destination folder does not exist, so i checked its permission: writeable by the webserver.
  • Maybe drupal can not find the paths i gave it in the configuration, so i checke them too: my picture image path inside the files-directory is avatars, this directory exists and is writeable by the webserver, the file system path for the files is 'files', and since i wish to use the public download method, i gave the proper permissions to it and put the relative path (just 'files') in the configuration. The temporary path is also relative and it is named 'tmp' and has also the proper permissions.

file uploads change extensions

I'm having a small problem with my site. When a user upload a file with a .SCX extention, the site automatically adds a 'TXT to the end of it. example.scx.txt is what it ends up as. Is there a way I can change this?

News Posts in forums

Hi, I'm new in Drupal and there's something I've been trying to do but I haven't found how.
I want a new forum post created for each story node I publish on the main page (or make the forum show the story nodes as they were forum post, that should work too).
Like here on drupal.org, where you see that in the "News and Announcements" forums are the same the news on the front page as forum posts.
Does anyone know how to do this?

Thanks in advanvce!

PS: Sorry for my bad english :/

CSS works for Firefox, but not for IE / modified FriendsElectric Theme

Hi everyone --- tough day today... I think I might be about to switch to a fixed width format. This theming stuff is driving me batty.

So, I'm doing some custom theming of Friends Electric to get -- basically a third column -- and it works in Firefox, but not IE6.

If anyone could take a look at the following two pages in Firefox and IE6 and share any thoughts about what the issue might be, I'd love to hear your advice.

How do I turn off Sesson IDs?

I have it set in the config options, but I see in my who's online that sesson URLS are still showing.. I even turned on caching because it said it would turn off sessonids and there are still sesson ids!

I think this is why Google is not indexing my pages after two months..

warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in

When I try to import any Amazon content I get the following error

warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in
/home/...../modules/taxonomy.module on line 744.

If I import 3 items I get this error 3 times.

NONE of my Items are imported. I dont know if this issue is with Amazon module or with taxonomy module.

I get the same warning for upload.module for all other content types but the content is posted.
