Home Inventory pictures

[Rogerrally]

Hi

I am having an issue with the Home Inventory app.

I have entered several items into Home Inventory fine, but now i am trying to add images (.JPG).

I just get a message "Cannot upload file!"

This is the same for existing items and new items.

Any suggestions?

Many thanks

Roger

There was an issue with the initial install script that has since been fixed. If you've entered a bunch of items and don't want to reinstall I can explain how to fix it.

If you don't want to reinstall.

hmmm ... that's no good.

what do the error logs have to say?

probably in /var/hda/web-apps/homeinv/logs/error_log

Hi

Yes i would not mind attempting fixing, if i can avoid reinstalling the app.

There is nothing like a real issue for getting in under the hood and getting your hands dirty and learning.

I have checked the logs and this appears to be the relevant line

[Mon May 04 22:32:49 2009] [error] [client 192.168.1.40] PHP Warning: move_uploaded_file() [<a href='function.move-uploaded-file'>function.move-uploaded-file</a>]: Unable to move '/tmp/php7ZKmNN' to '/var/hda/web-apps/homeinv/html/htdocs/images/items/mig.JPG' in /var/hda/web-apps/homeinv/html/environment.php on line 134, referer: http://homeinv/editPicture.php?id=17

Many thanks

The file in question is environment.php . Assuming you are having the problem I believe you are having which is a path issue you will need to go to line 125.
You should see

Code: Select all

$dir_name = SITE_PATH . "htdocs/images/$sDest/";

The fix is to simply remove htdocs so the lines reads as follows

Code: Select all

$dir_name = SITE_PATH . "images/$sDest/";

If this doesn't fix the problem let us know.

That was the problem and that has fixed it.

Much quicker and easier than re installing the app.

Many thanks for a quick and working fix, and a great application that is Amahi Home Server.

For those that find this post looking to fix their own Homeinv app the file is located at
