lighttpd HTTP error when uploading PNG

[rain]

Hi there,

It's been months and I can't find why it doesn't work.

I'm using lighttpd (i know it's unsupported) and everything works fine until you try to upload a PNG file.

Upload is working (files are named "temp_DoYEwzpqLXycH2WU5lZvs8MI6xCNB0rmd4ahTQnbSG37jf9gKietFJOVRk.png"), but you get a HTTP Error on local upload and a "500 - Internal Server Error" on remote upload (typical "DOES NOT COMPUTE LOL" lighttpd error).

LOCAL : 
2012-04-16 20:04:46: (mod_fastcgi.c.2566) unexpected end-of-file (perhaps the fastcgi process died): pid: 53431 socket: unix:/var/spool/lighttpd/sockets/php-fastcgi-53425.socket-0 
2012-04-16 20:04:46: (mod_fastcgi.c.3352) response not received, request sent: 722466 on socket: unix:/var/spool/lighttpd/sockets/php-fastcgi-53425.socket-0 for /upload.php?, closing connection 

REMOTE :

Any idea why it would fail on lighttpd with PNG only ?

If it fails just on PNG files the problem is GD library.

I read that on another thread but it seems fine to me.

 

[Rodolfo]

try to re install the GD library. It will ever says "png wrong".

 

[rain]

I'll try this.

I'll try this.

Any news?

The problem was caused by a previous update (my guess) and after a fresh upgrade (reinstall of gd didnt work) of the system (php/mysql/gd...) everything works again.

We may switch to nginx pretty soon tho.

Case closed.
