When I ran through this problem, there were a couple of things I was doing wrong, none of which had to do with jpeg support.
Eventually, I found that my major problem was that my media directory (where the upload directory resides) was not set properly in Apache. It was not writeable. In my windows system's apache httpd.conf, I had to add this: Alias /media/ "C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/htdocs/django/media/" <Directory "C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/htdocs/django/media/"> Order allow,deny Options -Indexes Allow from all </Directory> On Mon, Oct 5, 2009 at 6:41 PM, tdelam <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hey, I keep receiving this message on the production server when I try > to upload an image through the admin interface: Upload a valid image. > The file you uploaded was either not an image or a corrupted image. > Does anyone have a suggestion as to why?
