Images upload fine in non ssl but do not in ssl - why?

Problem:

When I turn on ssl mode in the software, I can no longer upload an image during ad/auction placement. What is wrong?

Solution:

Typically this is caused because the funtcion getimagesize within GDLibrary is not reporting any size. Your host can correct this by making the below change within the php.ini file.

open_basedir "/var/www/yoursite.com/httpdocs:/tmp:/var/tmp"
