Failed image upload in Joomla 1.5

If we encounter error 403 while uploading images in Joomla 1.5, try adding these 2 lines in .htaccess:

SecFilterEngine Off
SecFilterScanPOST Off

The fix works for me.

    Hi,

    I also got the problem, but;

    SecFilterEngine Off
    SecFilterScanPOST Off

    simply didn’t work for me

    After looking at the error log. I notice the problem lies with the “temp” folder”

    The “temp” folder located in the root of joomla is cmod to 755 which is 100% but some servers clash or something. Just cmod it to 777 and it should solve your problems.

    If the problem still keep going. cmod your image and image sub folders to 777.

    Later
