400 error after changing AVATAR settings

    Hey All,

    Having a real big issue here. I’m creating a blog for a site I’m working on and I was editing my Avatar Folder URL and System path to give the bloggers the ability to upload avatars. I needed to change the URL and System Path as it seemed their settings remained consistant with my development server I originally had the site on.

    Now, since I updated the settings I’ve been getting this error on every page of the back-end CMS and when I try to access my contol Panel:

    Error 400: Bad Request
    Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand.

    Probable reasons are:

    You sent a plain HTTP request to an SSL-enabled server port. Instead please use the HTTPS protocol to access this URL, like this: https://example.com:8443/
    You made a typo in the request, e.g., typed a comma instead of a colon. Please re-check the URL.
    Please contact your webmaster if you are not sure what goes wrong.

    I’m guessing that I put a typo in there somewhere when I made the edits but without being able to re-access the page to revise the error, I’m kinda at a loss.

    Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

    thx.

    Is there a way I can edit the source code file? Which file is this info written to?

    ThePigeonHold,

    Which page exactly did you edit?

    Was it the Member Preferences with the accordion menu that allowed you update paths and URLs for Avatar, Signature and Photos?

    When you login to your control panel do you use a https:// URL?

    If you open up system/expressionengine/config/config.php you can add the following to override what’s in your control panel. Update the values below

    $config['avatar_url'] = 'http://example.com/images/avatars/';
    $config['avatar_path'] = '/path/to/images/avatars/';

    Let us knwo if that helps?

    We’ve discovered the issue. It was a security issue that was resolved by my Website Host. Thanks for the reply though.
