I can't upload images to posts. Get error code 500: no file descriptors available. I am using the app: Summit. Can someone tell me if this is on Lemmy.worlds end or Summit?

  Works for me.

  LW may still limit some actions if you’re on a VPN. If you are on a VPN, try with a direct connection.

    I am not well versed with VPNs. But I am on my mom’s wifi and she has a VPN on. Does that effect this? My phone has no VPN installed but my mom’s PC has one on. Do VPNs effect all devices connected to the same wifi?

      If it’s for work, it’s nearly certainly on only her work machine and does not affect the rest of the network.

      Part of the purpose of a work VPN is to only allow work machines in, and your personal devices don’t qualify.

  This doesn’t sound like the sort of size errors I run into, but there are definitely image size limits (not quite sure if its dimensions or sheer file size) in Lemmy - have you tested with some small images?

    Idk what it was but it fixed hours later an I was able to post an image. Must’ve been on the server side. Never had the problem before and always posted png’s.

      Well, I’m glad it’s working now, even if knowing the cause might have been useful.

  A 500 error is generally a server side error. If you have tried multiple images and aren’t using some oddball format (use the Linux “file” command to validate the image format). Then I’d reach out to the server admin.
