In WordPress, I'm uploading media and getting the message:
The uploaded file could not be moved to wp-content/uploads/2016/06.
Yet, the file is in that location, it uploads every time I try.
Along with the error message, the uploaded file doesn't appear in media selections - it's like WordPress can't read it and is giving me the wrong error message.
What could be going on here?
Try changing the permissions of both the 'wp-content' and 'uploads' folders to 777 (maybe currently they are set to chmod 775).
It is possible that at the moment you have permissions only for one of these folders and, because uploading an image to wordpress is a whole process, some part of it may encounter an error, but other may still be successful.
Every image can be seen in the database in the table 'wp_posts' with 'post_type' attachment, as well as in the 'wp_postmeta' table where two inserts are made with meta_keys '_wp_attached_file' and '_wp_attachment_metadata'. If, by any chance, wordpress cannot get the data needed to generate metadata for the image, this may be the cause for you not to be able to see the picture in the admin panel. So you can also check if everything is ok with the information in your database.
Solved! It was a server issue, my server was out of space. The files looked like they'd uploaded correctly, the filename was created, but the file wasn't actually there.

This is not a quick failure, I have spent a totally of 5 completely full days trying to figure this out. Initially I was limited by file size and then file type; in which I removed the Wordpress restrictions and am now "capable" of uploading my 177MB .glb file to Wordpress.
However when doing so, I receive the following error:
retriever.glb
Unexpected response from the server. The file may have been uploaded successfully. Check in the Media Library or reload the page.
I was on the phone with GoDaddy Specialists for 2.5 hours yesterday ensuring that this was not a Server issue or restriction on their side.. they confirmed that it was not. We pretty much ended the conversation that it is something I must figure out with me, myself, and I.
I went ahead and uploaded my .glb to the server through panel, everything worked fine. In fact I have a location for it here: https://www.tattiniboots.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/retriever.glb
However, this does not make the file discoverable to the 3D viewer plugins I have installed on the site through the media location.
I truly don't know where to go from here
I changed the name of the file to .png and attempted an upload and received the following error:
Post-processing of the image failed likely because the server is busy or does not have enough resources. Uploading a smaller image may help. Suggested maximum size is 2500 pixels.
I just tried to update a normal .mov file that is 150MB and received the following error; really making me think this is something to do with file size:
Unexpected response from the server. The file may have been uploaded successfully. Check in the Media Library or reload the page.
Yes, normal images are uploading just fine (2MB-ish)
I just attempted to deactivate all plugins with consideration that maybe "Smush" or another was imposing issues: I then received the issue that the file type is not supported (even with the allow all file types code in my wp-config)
Is this just the case that glb is not allowed at all?
This must be a server thing. probably a run time error
Whoever supported you just doesn't know it. GoGoDaddy. ;)
Nevertheless... you can Use a plugin that's called
media sync. Check it out and best of luck
I am experiencing a quite weird issue on my client's MyBB instance. Attachments upload works, but I can't see them when readin the thread after saving the modifications.
At first I thought it was a permission issue (chmod or htaccess), but the upload works. I can see uploaded attachments in the "/uploads/201503/" folder. I see one thumbnail file and another one with the ".attach" file extension, which is in fact my jpg image when renaming the ".attach" extension to ".jpg". So upload works.
Now looking at the database "attachments" table, I can see the uploaded attachment row. The "attachname" field shows "201503/post_2_1425271978_8162c40a2a603edc2b441bd78460f9a7.attach", which is exactly the my uploaded attachment. So, persistence to database works.
I tried removing all my htaccess files and putting chmod to 777... negative. It's not going anywhere.
Does anybody here already faced that issue?
I have searched the forum before posting.. some very old threads have showed up, but unfortunately the op did not post the solution.
I got no error/warning message whatsoever.
Many thanks for help.

Check that attachments size in db and real size are the same. If they are not, Content-length will be wrong and some browsers just fail.
Also, simply check that the permissions are such that guests can't view the attached image.
I have a site for media conversion where users can upload video, audio or image files and it is converted in to 3 popular formats. Conversion script works fine but I am having some issues with the tmp directory where the files get uploaded to. I have tried 2 scenarios I am fine with either but neither works and it seems to me to be permissions related but I can seem to fix the problem.
I am working locally right now while I work out the kinks.
Scenario 1:
File is uploaded to default local tmp directory (C:\WINDOWS\tmp) - works fine
Attempt to run conversion script using tmp file that was uploaded and it doesn't work - run from command line works perfectly fine though
Scenario 2:
File is uploaded to directory I have given IIS_IUSRS full control of (for testing) and file won't upload - yes the directory is spelt correctly (I changed the upload_tmp_dir value in php.ini)
Both the site the javascript that send the XMLHttpRequest to the PHP file, as well as the site the PHP file itself reside on are IIS sites so I assume the script is being run as IIS_IUSRS.
EDIT: Temp file is no longer being created at all for Scenario 1, can't figure out why I am assuming playing with permission messed something up because the code hasn't changed. I've given Modify to IIS_USRS and USERS to try and get it working again but no luck :( although the error log is still writing to the same folder...weird
NOTE: The "tmp_name" value of the $_FILES variable I am sending still has a value of "C:\WINDOWS\Temp\'filename'" but the file is not there
EDIT: Another new development, it appears it is NOT a permissions issue because I can create a temp file via $temp_file = tempnam(sys_get_temp_dir(), 'Test'); however it obviously does not contain the uploaded data so it does not solve my problem
PHP is ignoring the upload_tmp_dir because of one setting on APPLICATION POOLS.
It's not php-cgi.exe nor php.ini or a permissions issue.
Go to the application pool of the website experiencing the issue:
1. right click
2. select advanced settings
3. scroll to LOAD USER PROFILE and set it to FALSE.
that did the trick for me.
This is less of a problem solved and more of a workaround. The issue seems to be something with the
$_FILES['file']['tmp_name'];
When I echo the contents it looks as I expect however no file appears. So rather than taking advantage of that process that happens naturally, I have had to take a manual approach. What I have done is the following:
create a temp file
$temp_file = tempnam(ini_get('upload_tmp_dir'), 'php');
then add the content from the temp file created during the $_POST request. (which some how are in the $_FILES variable even though the file is not when I look in the directory)
file_put_contents($temp_file, file_get_contents($_FILES['file']['tmp_name']));
the I have my temporary file for processing.
I have recently installed Magento and am using it for the first time. I am trying to uplaod an image to a folder as the new logo in the heading. When I upload the image using FTP the file uploads successfully but I can’t see it in the folder listing in a browser or on the website or if I visit the url for the image. I get a 404 page instead. Everything is getting cached I believe. I have turned off caching in the back end and cleaned out var/cache folder. This is a new one to me as I wouldn’t ahve thoughts ftp uploading an image would or could be cached? I can’t even change the header image on my website.
Im using the hellowired them as a starting point.
Cheers
Check the permissions on the Images and the directory it is in.
Can you verify that it is in the folder that you have uploaded it too?
Can you view it on server browsing the directories?
Finally check that you have type it correctly as Linux box's are CAPS sensitive, this could be why you can't see it also.
Looks like my host migrated my accounts to another server and I was actually updating the old hosting. Thanks for your help.
I'm having a problem when I try to open files that were generated by my CMS on my windows machine. It has an upload function that saves the file on a given location (it is on my user folder, where I'm supposed to have all the write and read permissions).
All I can see in that folder is a generic thumbnail, the ones generated by windows for each image type, PNGs and JPEGs in this case. I tried to change de image permissions and set it to the current computer user but it doesn't work. And I'm unable to move these files to another location (upload them to the server via FTP).
I wonder if there is a way to change this behavior.
One thing I noticed is that if I copy and paste those files, I can see its contents normally. I know I can do that to each of them and rename, but there are dozens of images in that folder... don't wanna do the same thing everytime I upload a new image.
Update
This is happening only to the images that were moved (I'm using php's move_uploaded_file function, btw), not to the ones that where generated (croped, resized and so on).
It`s happening because Windows keep file permissions of TEMP folder (usually c:/windows/temp) when moving a file.
To prevent it you need to change "upload_tmp_dir" in "php.ini" to your server directory or set wide permissions to your windows temp folder.
You probably have an error in some php file which is preventing the image from being displayed correctly.
What i would do in order to detect the problem is to comment out the header() calls in the php file responsible for displaying the image and see if there is any output other than the image data.
Inspect the whole output, it only takes a character to break everything, so check if there are no blank lines at the top or bottom of the output. And in case you have an error log, consult that, it will help you trace the problem quickly.
When i have this problem, it's usually a notice or a warning showing up during the process of the image generation, and if you haven't disabled errors from being output to the screen, the notice text will be considered as part of the image data which makes the browser unable to interpret your image.
If you'd like i can take a look closely for you but i would need to see what you are doing in that php file to be able to tell you for sure.
