Hi everyone,
i just installed the mahara System on our Web Server and get the following problem: When a user tries to upload a Profile Image, the message : "Error, file isn't an image" is displayed. Any ideas what the reason could be?

Just trying to upload a jpg file to use as my nicon and error message says it needs to be jpg, png format - it is jpg

Same thing if I try and load it to a file - get error saying usupported format (or similar).

Sorry just added to the thread. It is this site (Mahara.org). I am using IE7. It works fine on our site (1.05)

Hi everyone,

may i continue with this thread. I am havin the same problem on my fresh m1.07 installation.

Image files are of all three permissible types, among the ones i tried the one i'm using here as my avatar. If the image is too large, this is detected, if it fits in size it is regarded as a wrong file type.

Browsers: Safari / OSX, Firefox 2.0 / OSX, Firefox 2.0  / Linux

mahara: 1.07

Server: PHP 5.2.0-etch13 (i.e. OS Debian etch), apc 3.0.15, nginx/fastcgi over ssl.

Database: postgres 8.1.11

Any hints where and how to start are welcome.

Thanks

 Beate

PS: is the current beta stable enough that i might consider starting from it?

PSS: a happy new year to everyone
