There was also an error when uploading an avatar

422 Unprocessable Content：

The avatar failed to upload.

What is the hosting environment like? Not having a tmp folder usually means php cannot access a system temporary folder, which should always be configured.

it's ok now ,tks luceos

Setting PHP tmp dir - PHP upload not working
The problem described here was solved by me quite a long time ago but I don't really remember what was the main reason that uploads weren't working. There were multiple things that needed fixing so the upload could work. I have created checklist that might help others having similar problems and I will edit it to make it as helpful as possible. As I said before on chat, I was working on embedded system, so some points may be skipped on non-embedded systems.

Check upload_tmp_dir in php.ini. This is directory where PHP stores temporary files while uploading.

Check open_basedir in php.ini. If defined it limits PHP read/write rights to specified path and its subdirectories. Ensure that upload_tmp_dir is inside this path.

Check post_max_size in php.ini. If you want to upload 20 Mbyte files, try something a little bigger, like post_max_size = 21M. This defines largest size of POST message which you are probably using during upload.

Check upload_max_filesize in php.ini. This specifies biggest file that can be uploaded.

Check memory_limit in php.ini. That's the maximum amount of memory a script may consume. It's quite obvious that it can't be lower than upload size (to be honest I'm not quite sure about it-PHP is probably buffering while copying temporary files).

Ensure that you're checking the right php.ini file that is one used by PHP on your webserver. The best solution is to execute script with directive described here http://php.net/manual/en/function.php-ini-loaded-file.php (php_ini_loaded_file function)
