<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">And so the plot thickens…<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">On uploading some media on the bioset server and monitoring the network traffic in Chrome Dev Tools, you get this:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><img width="854" height="70" id="Picture_x0020_1" src="cid:image001.png@01CE8231.A9F558C0"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Notice the ‘302 – Found’ code. Now I wasn’t sure if that was right or not. 302-Found usually means “Yes the file is here so please submit again!!”. So I tried on my server and get this:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><img width="826" height="67" id="Picture_x0020_2" src="cid:image002.png@01CE8232.2BB522F0"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">So what I expected, a 200 OK code… The thing is, if I copy the bioset url that received the 302 code, …upload.php?path=USER-FILES/15-jjs-Nottingham/media/&BROWSER=safari&AUTH=xerte&PHPSESSID=sessid_removed<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Then YES, It does update the parameters.txt file so upload.php is being executed on the GET request but not on a POST request…<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Anyone know what could cause that on a Linux server?? I definitely think that this is a server issue and not the code but why??<o:p></o:p></span></p>

then it’s not that. Do you have full access to the server to try stuff on? That would help a lot if we can avoid having to bounce everything through the forum.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Decided to take this off the Forum… still not getting anywhere with it though…<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">So, I’ve patched the upload.php file to write out the $_GET parameter to see what’s being passed from the editor… the thing is that NOTHING is being passed, in fact upload.php doesn’t even look as if it’s being called…<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If you go here <a href="http://uol-bioset.com/xerte/modules/xerte/engine/upload.php?name=John">
http://uol-bioset.com/xerte/modules/xerte/engine/upload.php?name=John</a> then it writes to parameters.txt at
<a href="http://uol-bioset.com/xerte/modules/xerte/engine/parameters.txt">http://uol-bioset.com/xerte/modules/xerte/engine/parameters.txt</a>
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Now with this on my server, after uploading, parameters.txt looks like this:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#737373;background:white">array (</span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#737373"><br>
<span style="background:white">'path' => 'USER-FILES/2-john-Nottingham/media/',</span><br>
<span style="background:white">'BROWSER' => 'safari',</span><br>
<span style="background:white">'AUTH' => 'xerte',</span><br>
<span style="background:white">'PHPSESSID' => 'odF2q4By53rgwvYyJwcgo0',</span><br>
<span style="background:white">)</span></span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">However, even now that I have access to the server, and can login and upload stuff via the upload button, parameters.txt never changes… even calling
<a href="http://uol-bioset.com/xerte/modules/xerte/engine/upload.php">http://uol-bioset.com/xerte/modules/xerte/engine/upload.php</a> with no parameters set shout just write an empty array but nothing is written, the upload path looks right (same as mine anyway).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#737373;background:white">upload.php?path=</span><o:p></o:p></p>
