Uploading problem = weird warning (was: access denied problem.....)

Hi, I had a problem where my upload form was not working on our production server but was working on two other servers, after checking the phpinfo file i saw that the others had file_uploads set to ON ON and in the production server it was 1 1, So I successfully changed my file_uploads value from 1 to ON via a .htaccess file (php_value file_uploads ON), before it was giving me an access denied error even thought the directory was chmoded 777, but after i have made the "local" file_uploads to ON it is giving me this warning: Warning: getimagesize: Unable to open '' for reading. in /usr163/home/r/y/ryanknig/public_html/ads/ads_lib1.php on line 834 I have checked the path and it is perfect.....what do you think the problem is? This server is on FreeBSD 4.6-STABLE while the others are on linux. You can see the phpinfo files here if you want (first 2 are where the software is working) http://321go.biz/phpinfo.php http://bestwebhosters.com/phpinfo.php http://jumac.com/phpinfo.php The people i am hosting with are very nice and i'm pretty sure they will be willing to change my php.ini for me if needed, but i dont know what to ask them to change in the first place... Thanks, -Ryan
