Pictures aren't uploading from Upload Folder

[Parli]

I went through the setup of the software and database to a tee. I received all messages saying everything was OK. I created folders for each week of the year and made subfolders for normal, thumbs, etc.

I have uploaded 20 pictures into the upload directory (Step 1)
I see them in the Upload Directory (step 2)
I select the size and where they are going (step 3)
I select the target exhibition (step 4)
I hit the upload button and....... nothing happens!

I see a green progress bar at the bottom but then the screen goes blank. When I check the appropriate folder there are no images uploaded.

My host doesn't have ImagMagick installed so I am using GD 2.

Do you have any suggestions on where I can start to try and troubleshoot this?

Thank you!

Sounds like a PHP script time-out to me. Try it with one image at a time first.

in step 2, are you actually selecting the images to upload into the database? you say that you see them but not that you select them ;)

Sorry, I didn't clarify. I've tried selecting all the pictures and just one picture and neither way works. They upload from my computer to the Upload folder with no problem. It's the second upload that times out.

Thanks!

ok, the first upload, if done thru EE, is done via html... the "second" upload is done via FTP so there has to be a working FTP server on the system(s) where you store the pictures and it has to have access to the EE folders...

you have completed the FTP server setup stuff, right?

Well, I think I know what the problem may be. I went back into the ftp setup and tried changing a bunch of settings. Everytime I test the ftp server it tries to connect with PASV but my host doesn't allow PASV connections. Any idea why the ftp does that even though I unchecked it? I have tried both PHP ftp and EE internal.
