No file uploaded and no local file found. The test cannot continue

[keyuramin]

My forum is new and I just got someone to register. They registered successfully but aren't able to upload the avatar.

Upon checking and uploading the image in Maintenance > Diagnostics > Upload ------ I get the following results.

Pertinent PHP Settings
file_uploads:	On
open_basedir:	None
upload_tmp_dir:	None
upload_max_filesize:	20.00 MB

Results

No file uploaded and no local file found. The test cannot continue.

Upon checking the Settings > Options > Server Settings & Optimization Options

I've open_basedir Upload Enabled set to YES

open_basedir Temporary Directory set to /tmp

Although there wasn't any tmp directory which I created in the /home/mysite/public_html/ and gave it the permission of 777

Edited the php.ini which is present in /home/mysite/public_html/ and added the following lines:
open_basedir = "/home/mysite/:/usr/lib/php:/home/mysite/public_html/tmp/"
upload_tmp_dir = "/home/mysite/public_html/tmp"

No idea if I did the last step correctly or not because in PHPmyinfo file, open_basedir still shows as None.

Could someone please help me resolve this avatar uploading problem which is getting originated through any of the above settings.

I need to know how to correctly set the path for open_basedir and any other settings that is required to be done and followed.

Really need desperate help.

I believe when you edit php.ini you have to restart the web server.

I have edited PHP.ini file and have restarted the Apache web server multiple times after that. But still no success.

Go to admincp/avatars/picture storage type
make sure the directories are chmod 777
altough i prefer to set the storage type to database never had any errors this way

Thanks for the suggestions guys. I have finally got this working.

I did the following:
Unticked open_basedir Upload Enabled in Settings > Options > Server Settings and Optimization Options
Changed the open_basedir path to /home/mysite/public_html/tmp

And now it works perfectly fine.
