Cannot upload files - nothing happens
« on: May 02, 2010, 12:28:14 pm »

Coppermine version: cpg1.5.3
Testbed URL: http://hildebrandt.no/sven/albums/
Server OS: Linux ?
Web Server: Apache ?
PHP Version: 4.4.9
Image library used: GD2
Bridging: none
Themes tested: Various
Client OS: Windows 7 Ultimate English
Client Browser: IE8, Opera 10.53 and FF3.6.3
Install type: Upgrade from 1.4.18
Source: ?
Browser language: English

What happened (potential bug): Cannot upload any files. In many themes the 'browse button' is simply missing. It does show up in the curve-theme, but I get error 500 on uploading
How to replicate (what I did when the problem showed up): Simply log in as admin and try to upload a picture to any album

Please provide a test account with upload privileges.

I get error 500 on uploading
That's a matter of webserver setup and not a potential bug.

In many themes the 'browse button' is simply missing.
I just tested this on my testbed with all themes that come with the package. The browse button is there and visible in all themes I tested. I strongly doubt that you are right in this aspect.

Imo this is not a valid bug report, but a straightforward support request. Read up http://documentation.coppermine-gallery.net/en/upload_troubleshooting.htm#upload_support and do as suggested there. A moderator will then move this thread accordingly.

Hi, I will check out the section. I'm sorry for maybe posting in the wrong forum. I couldn't find the 1.5 support forums at first, but now I see it's there.

With regards to the 500 error on upload: I find it extremely strange that this is a webserver setup. I've used CPG for YEARS and never had an issue with it before. And seconds after upgrading to 1.5.3 it's suddenly a webserver issue?

Is your testbed an upgrade from 1.4.18 ? I tell you the browse button is not there. However, it might not be CPGs 'fault'. It can be due to the upgrade or other issues.

Yes yes  ;)



Username: upload
Pass: test123

Now the SIMPLE upload worked (after creating a test album and a test account) which is some improvement. However, the flash upload does not work. It only returns a 500 error for every image.

Please test, and let me know what additional permissions to give

I can confirm that simple upload works and flash upload returns 500 on sven's gallery.

Coppermine META seems to be missing with your default theme.

I advise to anyone trying to help here to use a standard cpg 1.5.x theme. Otherwise you will see too many errors.

Flash debug returns this:

An ActionScript error has occured

Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent:. text=Error #2038: File I/O Error.

That's a matter of webserver setup
So the solution has to be found by you or your web hosting provider.

Aha, but can you give me a hint of why a simple upload works, and not a flash upload? What are the technical difference? Does it need another type of permission?

Is it possible to EDIT the posts in this forum? I couldn't find it, so another post here:

Can you also give me a hint of what might be the limit when it comes to the webserver setup? Have I forgotten to enable the 'Allow flash upload to Coppermine Photo Gallery' option in Apache? You get the idea

Although I can not say for sure, if I was at your keyboard I would start with.....

1) See what the server's error logs show
2) Ask the host if they have any restrictions on your account - explain to them the problem is specific to your account and has not been seen elsewhere
3) Fix your default theme by returning the token {META} to the <head> of file template.html

No. That feature has been disabled deliberately to keep users from doing what you wanted to do. We don't want you to edit your postings, no.

Joe Carver: I wish you were at my keyboard and could press the correct keys, hehe

OK, thanks for hints. This is a hosted webserver so I have to ask my host about #1.

I'm not sure if I understand #3, but you say the META tag is missing? Funny, I didn't know I'd edited anything. But I've used CPG since 2001 (Am I wrong? Did it exist then?) so it's possible that I've done something in the past that I don't remember now. Forgetfulness, the weakness of human nature.

I will look into this and give a feedback. We will get this solved.

I also have another small problem which is DEFINITELY a bug, but I will get back to that problem when this problem is solved

You could do a fresh install of cpg1.5.x to check if it happens there, too.

Please start a new thread in the appropriate board.

It will most likely not happen with a fresh install. But I will not install it from scratch. I will not lose all my data, all viewcounts and so on.

Yes, I will start another thread for the other problem

You shouldn't delete your data, but install a second gallery for testing.
