XFileSharing Free - Some startup issues

[helgerossvoll]

Couple of things,
1) How does sendmail need to be configured for this to work? Never used sendmail to send e-mail outside the box as I usually have the option to enter e-mail server IP user/pass (for smtp auth).

2) When I use the demo on sibsoft.net (standard edition) I get a progress bar with speed of transfer etc and download link etc when file is complete. None of these show here.

3) After sending a file I get only Transfer complete, but there is no files showing in admin interface nor on the uploads/temp folder on server


Any tips to get these 3 issues fixed?

Seems I got to the rootcause of problem 2 and 3, mod_security2 logs shows a lot of errors:

Sp problemd changed to, how to get Xfiletransfer to work properly with mod_security2 and also part 1) of my previous e-mail is still an open issue

[PilgrimX182]

There should be mod_security config file in same folder where apache httpd.conf file is. I don't remember exact option for max upload size there, but I think you will find it easily.

Sendmail is usually configured fine by default. Do you have any problems with sending e-mail. Anyway, if you wish to configure it, contact your server administrator.

[helgerossvoll]

I changed the max body size which got rid of the first error, then error changed to:

Code: Select all

[Mon Jun 02 13:37:38 2008] [error] [client 81.167.*.*] ModSecurity: Error reading request body: Connection reset by peer [hostname "filetransfer.*.*"] [uri "/cgi-bin/upload.cgi?upload_id=958828516446&js_on=1"]

Maybe someone have gotten around this one?

I am the one that have put up this server, but my skills is far from perfect yet.. Will try to google more for sendmail options..

[PilgrimX182]

We actually have directives in .htaccess inside cgi-bin to disable mod_security for this folder. Make sure .htaccess enabled in cgi-bin folder.

Once again: in 95% cases you don't need to extra configure sendmail manually.

[helgerossvoll]

Yeah, got that mod_security issue fixed.. Used the .htaccess file from htdocs on both places, had to copy the .htaccess file manually.. Checked the one in the cgi-bin dir and saw the differences, so thats all solved..

Any plans to add the options:

smtp_server: smtp.company.com
smtp_user: [email protected]
smtp_pass: SecretPass

?

[PilgrimX182]

Yes. Will put this to my TODO list.
