Issue solved. Found that after running RSFirewall I couldn't upload any new images (not a valid image). Then after disabling the php.ini it worked again.

How does one dissable php.ini

Hello,

You can disable the php.ini file by renaming/deleting the file from your Joomla! root folder.

as I have enabled upload images in joomla, working with the php.ini?

Can you explain what I should add to the phpini file to allow uploading of images please. This would be great as I cant figure out what i should add in the ini file.

thanks

Hello,

A description of how you can set the php.ini file and of the function that you should set in the file can be found in the Step by Step guide of RSFirewall!:

Hello Lamster:

How did you get along with your fix.

I also had problems with the php.ini.
After transfering tmp; logs; and configuration.php out of public_html I checked with RSFirewall and the PHP check showed “allow_url_fopen”; “disable_functions”; and “open_basedir” were incorrect. To fix this I included this code in the first line of .htaccess:

# To set your custom php.ini, add the following line to this file:
suphp_configpath /home/xxxxxx/public_html/php.ini

xxxxxxx= my username to get into cPanel

Everything works fine, I even got my RSFirewall rating up to 81% (leaving me as only issues to update RSFirewall and Joomla), except for uploading images (neither by frontend or backend): "Failed to upload image"

I disabled php.ini to phpNO.ini, and now I'm able to upload images (as you discovered). But, RSFirewall drops my rating to 77% because “allow_url_fopen”; “disable_functions”; and “open_basedir” aren't working.
So I tell RSFirewall to fix the problem clicking on the button and it creates a new php.ini and my rating goes up to 81% again. But now I can't upload images. I could go on and on.

So I go back to my original .htaccess (without the suphp_configpath....), that brings my rating down to 77% as RSF doesn't recognize the php.ini, but I can upload images.

I would very much appreciate some help here. Thanks.

Hi Lamster

Did you get this sorted as I have exactly the same problem?

Many thanks

I think maybe you need to include the temp folder to allow image uploads.

Try adding to the php.ini to allow image uploads

For Linux: open_basedir=/path/to/your/root_folder:/path/to/your/temp_folder:/tmp

Let me know if it works ok.
