Flash Upload error 404

scoles15 · June 4th, 2009, 10:44 AM

I'm not sure this is a bug in the interface to swfupload, but what ever is going on, I am sure it is something obvious and I am missing something obvious. Any help would be appreciated.

Running the latest release. Once I have select the photos, it seems to upload but then I error 404. Taking the advise i found at the swfupload, I examined the Apache access log and found that the file not found was "upload.php" I 've triple checked and the file is there in the proper path'

Here is the applicable area of the access log.

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

See the last 2 lines.

Any help and suggestions would be appreciated.

Did you upload the upload.php file to your photopost directory?

scoles15 · June 4th, 2009, 11:50 AM

yes, i did. That's what's driving me crazy. If you do a http://www.ncwoodworker.net/pp/upload.php you see that the file is there. Of it doesn't do anything as a GET

There should be no issue with a POST

What does SWFupload say about a 404 error or your results?

This is the only code that stops upload.php that we have

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

If there is no flash session or file then we stop.

The upload.php code is not being excecuted, becuase Apache is returning the 404. At least in theory. I've semi verified that by adding trace code to the beginning of upload.php

SWFUpload are the people that told me to look at the access log to find what generating the 404

upload.php is a very simple file process in general basically its only task is to read the SESSION info and move the actual file uploaded by flash to the users uploads directory.

Your telling me the file exists. This is the java that loads the flash

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

I would wonder is your session being created? Is there a PHPSESSION cookie in your browser when uploading.

Sorry, How coud I tell that?

Chuck S · June 4th, 2009, 03:50 PM

well this all depends on your browser I guess,

I use firefox and I can go to TOOLS => OPTIONS => PRIVACY => SHOW COOKIES.

Also another thing how big is this file your trying to upload?

You can place a url here and a test login for us to try uploading.

I'll PM you a login and URL. I've tried all different sizes.

I've put SWFUpload into debug mode and am trying to understand what it is really telling me. When you try, you'll see it at the bottom of the page

You can use the contact us link in our site header.

scoles15 · June 5th, 2009, 07:04 AM

Just did, thanks.

Chuck S · June 5th, 2009, 07:32 AM

Okay we will respond from there then via email

Chuck S · June 5th, 2009, 07:37 AM

I am not sure your email had the right info here. I get a blank email here with the words ppdebug and a link to this thread nothing more. None of the information asked for. Please resend an email with ftp access and admin login as well as url to photopost install.

Ok I just sent it again.

scoles15 · June 5th, 2009, 12:34 PM

Just wanted to check if you got the info

Chuck S · June 5th, 2009, 02:33 PM

Yes I got it I really dont have any more info. There is a limit on what I can say about the flash uploader or its errors because we did not write that code. Our only involvement with the flash uploader is to tell it where to upload a file. Other than that any errors put out are returned by there code and SWFUPLOAD people would have better ideas that I do.

There is a problem with Apache mod_security and swfupload. I don't know who is at fault. Just that mod_security does not like the POST that is being issued and rejects it. Why a 404, I don't know.

But by disabling mod_security in the .htaccess file at the root of my PP directory, the problem has gone away

Chuck S · June 10th, 2009, 12:32 PM

Well mod_security can disable alot of things in software depending on the actions being performed.
