I have PIL installed, however whenever I try to upload a .png file to an image field through the Django Admin for my model, I get this error:

“Upload a valid image. The file you uploaded was either not an image or a corrupted image.”

Other image types work fine. I have tried several different PNG files.

I have tried rebuilding PIL after installing pypng, libpng-dev, etc.. and am on ubuntu server.

    When you compile PIL it should say if it has been compiled with PNG support or not, but if you have problems installing it yourself, I would recommend that you use the version that comes with ubuntu. It’s strangely named but easily installed with:

    apt-get install python-imaging
