Issues With Upload Directory, Invoice Logo

[s0urce]

I've been trying to add a logo to my invoices. To do so requires the upload path to be writable.

 

Initially I tried setting a path up outside of the blesta install: /home/myuser/uploads (Chmod 777) with No luck!

 

I managed to get it working in a dirty format by creating an upload folder in /var/www/html/mysite/ but again Chmod 777 was the only way blesta found it to be writable.

 

After successfully uploading a logo for invoices it went to the correct dir: /var/www/html/mysite/upload/1/invoices where the inv_logo.png file is present

 

However, a new error is experienced when I tick the box to display a logo on the invoice, and then try to view a customer invoice

 

Call to undefined function imagecreatefrompng() on line 5395 in /var/www/html/mysite.com/vendors/tcpdf/tcpdf.php

 

HELP!

Still not sure why I can't use an upload directory outside of my doc root when permissions are at 777...so bizarre

 

do you have suPHP?

Fixed by installing php-gd. Derp

Glad you managed to solve it.

Chances are good that your web server doesn't allow files to be written above its document root for security reasons. This could be a feature of Cloud Linux, or something else.

do you have suPHP?

 

No I dont, should I install it?

I should add that I'm running a VPS with CentOS 6.5

I do recommend it and it should fix your issue.
