[Xerte-dev] Re: Problems uploading Media

[Smith, John]

I have full access as user and admin...

Not to the filesystem...

But as far as I can ascertain, upload.php is never being called. The very first line is now:

file_put_contents('parameters.txt', var_export($_GET, true), true);

and when you try to upload the media it says successful but the parameters.txt file hasn't changed... at first I thought we had changed /modules/xerte/engine/upload.php and the site one was being called but that doesn't appear to be the case either...

The other weird thing was media and quota didn't work, and then suddenly did. That made me think liveware was to blame, but I don't think it is in this case, and if you have access and can replicate, 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.

No, I'm stumped. It's not really my area - thanks for your persistence. Can you prove whether upload.php is being called or not?

Hi,

Decided to take this off the Forum... still not getting anywhere with it though...

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...

If you go here http://uol-bioset.com/xerte/modules/xerte/engine/upload.php?name=John then it writes to parameters.txt at http://uol-bioset.com/xerte/modules/xerte/engine/parameters.txt

Now with this on my server, after uploading, parameters.txt looks like this:

array (
'path' => 'USER-FILES/2-john-Nottingham/media/',
'BROWSER' => 'safari',
'AUTH' => 'xerte',
'PHPSESSID' => 'odF2q4By53rgwvYyJwcgo0',
)

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 http://uol-bioset.com/xerte/modules/xerte/engine/upload.php with no parameters set shout just write an empty array but nothing is written, the upload path looks right (same as mine anyway).

upload.php?path=

Anyone have any ideas?
