CGI Errors since upgrading to 5.1 when uploading

MattUK · May 27th, 2005, 09:31 AM

I've just upgraded from 4.7 to 5.1 without any problems, but when anyone goes to upload a file now, when they click to upload, it sits there for a minute or so then

CGI Error
The specified CGI application misbehaved by not returning a complete set of HTTP headers.

I have seen posts elsewhere saying "its not our software" etc etc, but nothing else has changed except your software, so perhaps a bit of guidance would be helpful.

Thanks.

sounds like a server problem to me, since photopost uses php and not cgi, would think a call to your host should help!!

MattUK · May 27th, 2005, 10:01 AM

Well its my server, so thats easily sorted, but NOTHING has changed.. only Photopost.

umm is your server trying to run php as a CGI for some reason?

you could check that php5isapi.dll is in instead of php.exe in the IIS configuration?

MattUK · May 27th, 2005, 10:07 AM

I shouldnt need to check anything on the server. I run a whole load of stuff under PHP, Ubbthreads etc, and 4.7 worked perfectly before I made the upgrade.

MattUK · May 27th, 2005, 10:13 AM

I'm going to have to back the upgrade out

If anyone has any ideas, please let me know.

i had the exact same problem a while back for some reason the server had developed some sort of glitch all other programs were fine apart from one, just changed the config php5isapi.dll and reset iis and all was working again, hope you get it sorted!

Well 5.1 should be alot faster sleeker and mean

I would ensure you download the build again and reupload all files. I mean you can theoritically here to make sure you properly overwrite the files delete everything except uploads data directories and any header footer and config files.

If you have some old and new files you could get this error but usually this is server related totally. Your server error logs can give you a better indication of the exact nature of the error that is happening.

Hi Omegatron

Yeah! Thats why I want it

)

I did overwrite everything before, but ill give it another bash and let you know soon. I've just backed it out and uploads etc all work fine again.

MattUK · May 27th, 2005, 10:23 AM

Is there anything in the config file that I need to ensure is there.. im going from 4.7j?

MattUK · May 27th, 2005, 10:30 AM

I spotted that you can now have your images outside of the web path so people cannot view them without being local (which i love) is it easy to move these (assuming i get it working!)

MattUK · May 27th, 2005, 10:34 AM

The only errors I get during the upgrade are below, but I think this is just failing to delete files?

Warning: unlink(/adm-userg.php): No such file or directory in G:\webs\www.bm3w.co.uk\public_html\ug\upgrade.php on line 2077

Warning: unlink(/adm-approve.php): No such file or directory in G:\webs\www.bm3w.co.uk\public_html\ug\upgrade.php on line 2078

Ok upgrade complete, and the CGI errors have returned on uploading only. Repeatable every time.

Chuck S · May 27th, 2005, 11:23 AM

what do your server logs say about the error? Its your php throwing the error so server error log would give better idea of what the nature of your issue is.

MattUK · May 27th, 2005, 11:33 AM

Win2003 server event logs show nothing at all...

MattUK · May 27th, 2005, 11:37 AM

Let me check the IIS logs

MattUK · May 27th, 2005, 11:43 AM

Nothing in there either.

MattUK · May 27th, 2005, 11:44 AM

Do you recall last time I did an upgrade you did some work with the integration mod for UBBT, I seem to recall we had some similar issues then.

Smells like a possible timeout. Maybe this link will help.

Thanks.

Timeout is already set very high, and this happens with anything, no matter what the size of the file.

On bulk uploads where it can access the files instantly it happens immediately.
