New Comic Not Showing

That was very observant. But that file is pointing to that wonky filename, where no image should be.

Hey, Poisondusk. You aren't signed up to beta test the new AutoKeen system, are you? If so, maybe you found a coding conflict of some sort.

No, I'm not.

Edit: It's getting a quite late here in the UK, so I probably won't be able to respond to any other suggestions until tomorrow.

Hopefully, an admin will see it and know just what's up! (Sorry I disappeared.. school let out here and I had to do mom stuff.)

Has anyone else got any ideas on what the problem is?

Your current index.html file (as genned from your indextemplate.html file) is using this code to display your current image:

Code: Select all

<img alt="" border="0" src="http://poisondusk.comicgenesis.com/comics/20061127.jpg" width="0" height="0" />

It is no longer using whatever that poisondusk_files folder was. It is however, showing a 0 width and 0 height file, as someone else pointed out.

That leads to two possibilities:

1) The file is corrupt. This does not appear to be the case, because we can link to the file directly.

2) There is a permissions issue with the file, such that autokeen cannot read the file to determine it's file size, which might result in it giving a 0 width and 0 height as if it were corrupt.

I am pretty sure, given you said there was a permissions issue when you uploaded the file, that it's #2.

What I don't know is, is the issue with the FILE, or have you somehow gotten the permissions on your DIRECTORY screwed up.

Here's how we test:

Please delete the current file from public_html/comics and from public_html/d (you're looking for the html file for that date).

Then, go to Siteadmin. Upload the current image THROUGH SITEADMIN. Not through your own ftp program. Then do a regular update.

If the problem persists after the update, I would be willing to bet you have a permissions issue with the directories of your account that an administrator (probably Kisai) would have to look at.

If the problem goes away, then you have some funky problem with your ftp program.

Let us know?

I've done as you said, and the problem is still there, so it looks like the FTP program didn't cause the problem.

Then I think at this point, you need to have your account looked at by an administrator - either Kisai or StrRedWolf.

Is there a way of contacting them, or do I have to wait until this thread gets spotted by one of the administrators?

Send one of them a PM on this board. Sending e-mails usually means getting lost in the spam.

the log file says otherwise:
TODAY: 20061127
This is not a JPEG!

That's strange. I saved the page in the same way as I did for all of my other comics.

I've just taken the original Photoshop file and exported it as a jpeg again, and the page shows up now, so something must have happened to the original image.

Thanks for the help!
