Could be a number a reasons... anything in the error_log? Was it previously working and just up and broke? What are the current PHP settings?

[system32]

Yes it was working before. Where can I check my error_log and PHP settings?

[Viz0n]

look for the file error_log under public_html or where your forum root it. (different hosts have different ways of storing error logs.

(Not necessary, but can help depending on the situation)
Create phpinfo.php and add:
<?php phpinfo(); ?>

If you can find an error_log, what are the permissions of the directories that store the uploaded files?

[system32]

I found the error_log file but its 65MB. Downloading now, but where do I find permissions of the directories that store uploaded files?

Also, what would you like to know from the phpinfo file?

[Viz0n]

Folders should be chmod 744 for uploads or 777(depends on server setup).

Post the last couple of lines in the error_log

safe mode enabled ?
then create a temp folder in public_html directory and give to 744 or 777 permissions ..
and then select safe mode upload in vBulletin admin cp options

[system32]

Ok. I have added the temp folder and CHMOD it to 777 permissions. I can upload avatars fine now from my computer, but can not from Enter the URL of the image. I keep getting this message:

Upload failed due to failure writing temporary file

Edit: Here is the last few lines from the error_log:

Nothing in the error log points to a problem with getting the image via url... Try this for me. Delete error_log so that there is nothing in it, then attempt to upload images via url from a couple of different sources, then post the error_log.

[system32]

Will anything happen if I delete the error_log? Must I create a new one or will one be created automatically?
