UTF8 conversion issue on upgrade

[Jamie_Beatson]

Hi there,

Trying to run the upgrade to IPS4, which, only my 3.4.x install, requires a conversion to UTF8.

So I pressed the button to start the convertor and got this message:

Error: include(/uploads/profile/photo-7130.jpg): failed to open stream: No such file or directory File: /home/weareper/public_html/wapforum/conf_global.php(191) : runtime-created function Line: 1

The file, photo-7130.jpg, exists in the /uploads/profile/ folder. Initally it was CHMOD 644. It was the only file with those permissions in that directory, so I changed to 777 as the rest were. That didn't help. I tried to view said image in Firefox, but it said the file couldn't load. I then deleted it entirely, that also didn't help - and neither did replacing it in the directory with a blank .jpg file of the same filename.

Any ideas on how to get past this?
