Frontend Upload Error

Hello Again,

I recently did a joomla update (through godaddy) and I think it's the cause of some trouble I just started having with frontend upload. It starts uploading the sermon file, and a few minutes later it says:

Error
Warning: Failed to move file!
An error occured…!

Any ideas?

I think it's the update to Joomla 1.6.1 that's causing the problem

Nah, J1.6.1 shouldn't have any influence on this.
It's most likely that your file just is bigger than the allowed max filesize for fileuploads in your php.ini.

Check directives like "post_max_size" or "upload_max_filesize".

It can't be the file size...I even tried a 3 mb one right now and it didn't work. It's not uploading files that it used to do before.

Godaddy said something about doing the upgrade manually if I have plugins for my joomla. It might be something to do with that.

Any ideas?

Hmm, maybe check the write permissions on the directory then?
Do you know if it's a Joomla error message or a PHP warning?

I think the error occurs after the file is uploaded. Then PHP has to move the file from its temporary location to the final location. The temporary location is a PHP intern location, this one is fixed and shouldn't concern you. The final location is set in the SermonSpeaker parameters, based on the sermon path and the upload path. Check if it exists and has permissions to save a file. Maybe change it to 777 just to be sure.

Ok, I think I fixed it. Somehow, in the upgrade to the new version of Joomla, the max file upload went from 20mb to 2mb.

Weird...
