2.0 no browse image tab after upload

I am having the exact same problem. I’ve checked and rechecked all of the server permissions/settings but it simply will not work. I looked into the issue a little further and found that the wordpress database is not being written to during the upload. It is my understanding that the image file location and post info is written to the database as meta data. This is not happening, so i’m guessing that the browse tab is not available because it finds no record in the database associated with the image upload.

Bibo, can you verify that the image data is not being added to the database when you upload? I’ve been searching for an answer to this problem for months.

Hi!
First of all – nice to know that I’m not the only one on this planet with this behaviour of wordpress. ??

I just checked the mySQL-DB:
the only so far unused table that exists there is
wp_postmeta – no entries there.
I could not find any entry in any table that references any of the uploaded pictures or other files.

I would have expected a table with the links to my files, the added comments and titles I entered when uploading the files.

In which table are these infos normally entered in the mySQL-DB?

The image info should be entered into wp_postmeta

Likewise, no entries are in my postmeta table either. The reason i was able to track this down is because i have my own webserver (which is having the issue) as well as a hosted one which does not have the issue.

What are you running server wise? I am using Windows 2003, IIS 6.0, PHP5 and MySQL 5

Just hoping to compare information so that maybe someone who knows what they are doing can step in and tell us what is wrong! I am also happy to see i’m not alone with this problem, i feel like i’ve tried everything.

I wonder if this is related to GD – is it installed and configured on your server? I could be all wet, but I seem to recall that WP is looking for it as part of the upload process.

https://us3.php.net/gd

Yes, it is using the generic version that comes with php5 php_gd2.dll

Should i try installing gd from the gd homepage?

My web host is using PHP4 and an older MySQL, is there any known issue with using the latest versions of each?

Thanks for responding by the way. Also i think i forgot to mention that the files are being properly uploaded and the thumbnails created, just no entry into the postmeta table.

Not sure on latest versions — I know there had been issues both with PHP5 and MySQL 5 earlier in the year, but I *think* those were resolved with WP 2.0.2.

As you note, the thumbs are being created, so I suspect I AM all wet… unless GD is doing it’s thing, but not responding in a way WP expects. And now I’m totally grasping. /sigh/ wish I could be of more help.

Thanks for taking a look regardless. I wonder if i should try reverting to PHP 4 and MySQL 4.

You wouldnt happen to know the area in code to try to do some error checking on GD would you?

I’ve got MySQL in strict mode with no anonymous user, does that make a difference?

The problem is the Strict mode, I’ve your same configuration and I’ve tested the MySQL 5 without “Strict mode” right now, after read your post.

Now all works fine!
