Hi Tom, Thomas,

I've now updated the server to the latest install and I'm still not seeing the issue:

[cid:image001.jpg at 01CED19B.63A5CF30]

I've also tracked the upload.php url parameters and get the correct URL (which is why the upload happens)

POST /modules/xerte/engine/upload.php?path=USER-FILES/1-pat-Nottingham/media/&BROWSER=firefox&AUTH=xerte&PHPSESSID=**mysession** HTTP/1.1

SO I'm not sure why you are seeing &null instead of BROWSER=firefox&AUTH=xerte&PHPSESSID=**mysession** HTTP/1.1

That is definitely the cause of the issue on your machine. The session cannot be restarted in upload.php because it doesn't have the correct information. I assume you have cleared the cache since upgrade although the code to pass the correct info to upload.php hasn't changed for a while...

Thinking about it too, we I updated the wizard to use file_exists.php but that message you got is perhaps as confusing... perhaps we should leave the file_exists.php and create a new file which can give some better feedback on whether it is a session issue, a permissions issue, etc etc.

Hi,

I've just checked, the files are there, in the import folder, all neatly unzipped, so it's not a permissions problem with the file system.

I don't know enough about the way the code works the delve much deeper, but my next thoughts are that if it's not the file system properties, it could be something to do with the SQL, or the way it transfers the date to the USER_FILES.

I've done a manual transfer to the USER_FILES (creating a stub in the editor, then uploading the media and template.xwd into the directory created, and copying the latter to 'data' after deleting the 'data' file that was there) and that works just fine. I'm not sure if I need to overwrite the 'data' file or not, but it seems to work.

Kindest Regards,
Thomas

Oh right ok, I'll give it a try - that server is relatively up to date (not latest though) but I wasn't aware of any code changes to the upload path (other than the moov stuff being removed)...

Let me update and try again...

Hmm..

Tom, are you using windows 8.1?

I just tried in Windows 7 with Firefox 24 and it worked fine for me... Can anyone else with Windows 8 or 8.1 confirm whether it works for them?

Hmmm, they look decidedly strange to me:

192.168.50.11 - - [25/Oct/2013:11:39:01 +0200] "POST /~tom/xotdev/modules/xerte/engine/upload.php?path=USER-FILES/1-tom-Nottingham/media/&null HTTP/1.1" 200 - "-" "Shockwave Flash"
192.168.50.11 - - [25/Oct/2013:11:39:05 +0200] "POST /~tom/xotdev/modules/xerte/engine/file_exists.php HTTP/1.1" 200 39 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:24.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/24.0"

i.e. I would have expected some indication of firefox on the first line as well.

Hi Tom,

It is most likely the flash cookie bug. Can you see what the useragent string presents as for the new Firefox? I've seen issues on the mediaelements Github site that IE11 has a different useragent string or something...

Issue 1:

The space needed by the buttons in the Dutch translation is too large:

[cid:image010.png at 01CED198.46D03F10]

This only happens in (some) installations of firefox, i.e. I have problems on my PC, but Inge does not on hers (Both Win7Pro 64bit).
Does anyone mind if I set the margins of .file_mgt_area_middle to 10px i.s.o. 15px?

[cid:image011.png at 01CED198.46D03F10]

Issue 2, upload of media, so far only encountered in firefox:

I can't upload media. Tested with video and images.
