Photo not uploading to change avatar. [Solved] | Forum

Hello Forum,


I've just installed Oxwall. I can't get a photo to upload to create my avatar.

After clicking upload, I only see placeholders, but the activity stream shows I updated my avatar, but again, only shows a placehoder.


There is an entry in the database table 'ow_avatar' and three image files in the avatars directory (see attachments).


Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you,


Lee.

No avatars, which might be explained by this server error log: /ow_userfiles/.htaccess: Option All not allowed here


What should be contained in the .htaccess file?


Thanks,


Lee.

Thank you very much. The images are working after changing the .htaccess


All the best,

I have tried several different changes to my .htaccess file, but still no help.  Let me post mine here:

RewriteEngine OnOptions -IndexesAddEncoding gzip .gzAddEncoding gzip .gzip<FilesMatch "\.(js.gz|js.gzip)$">  ForceType text/javascript</FilesMatch><FilesMatch "\.(css.gz|css.gzip)$">  ForceType text/css</FilesMatch>

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/index\.phpRewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/ow_updates/index\.phpRewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/ow_updates/RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/ow_userfiles/RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/ow_cron/run\.phpRewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/e500\.phpRewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (/|\.php|\.html|\.htm|\.xml|\.feed|robots\.txt|\.raw|/[^.]*)$  [NC]RewriteRule (.*) index.php


Any ideas what to add?
