Hi Nick,

First off - Thank you very much for taking the time to look at my issue. I'm trying to get this site launched, and it seems that this is the last hurdle to be overcome.

Second, great call checking the pHp Information tab. I would have completely overlooked checking any parameters there.

I thought that a quicker approach to solve this problem (before waiting for my host's reply), might be to create a directory named '/temp' (instead of '/tmp') and point mt Joomla settings there in the global config ->server. So I did this, changed the permissions on the new directory to 777, and still no luck.

I originally built this site in a test directory, on the same server. I have no issues like this on the test server. The profile images and the profile image gallery work perfectly. I went back to the pHp settings in the test site, and the parameters are exactly the same as the ones you describe below. This has me confused.

I even tried to point Joomla at the '/test/tmp' directory, simply because I know that it's working. Still no luck.

I have a ticket in with the host, but they haven't gotten back to me yet. Since the settings for the 'upload_tmp_dir' have no value on either rendition of this site, I'm baffled.

I appreciate the time you've spent looking at this issue already. I'd appreciate hearing from you if you have any other ideas on what might be causing this issue.

Thank You

I also have no idea why this shows as a double post, sorry if i did that inadvertantly.

Again
Thank You for your reply!

I seem to have stumbled upon the answer to this dilema. The solution doesn't seem to make any sense to me, since both sites are on the same server. The problem seems rectified nonetheless.

In the wee hours of the morning (literally), it struck me to look in the php.ini file. Interestingly enough there were only five lines of code in the file. No comments, just five simple lines.

I knew this was wrong, so I went to another site that I built. This file had 1065 lines of fully commented code, all with default settings.

I opened both of the files with Beyond Compare, copied the missing 1060 lines if code, saved and viola! Now I can upload images.

I know that doesn't make sense, since there is only one php.ini file on the server. The only thing I can think of revolves around a server glitch that happened last week.

In any event, I think this problem is solved, and I'd like to thank both of you; Nick and Kyle for being both helpful and responsive. I appreciate your time and attention to detail very, very much.

Again, many thanks!!
Will
