Stalled

#1 Postby azvisual » May 29, 2007 11:47 pm

Anyone experience "stalls" when submitting to CGI scripts? I've tried on 3 or 4 servers now and I still get this from time to time...

I'll hit submit, the progress bar shows up, nothing ever happens. It just sits. I see this more and more and wonder if this is a CGI thing that I can fix.

Thanks for any suggestions. (and I did all the htaccess stuff to no avail)

Are you testing on big files? Windows or Linux? Check for Javascript errors. Can you provide me with URL to your upload form?

Testing with smaller files, but it happens sporadically. Size of file doesn't seem to matter. Most of the time the script just goes, but maybe 1 out of 10 or 15 times it will just sit there after displaying the progress bar. It's a Linux server. Feel freed to submit the form with any size file you need. It's not live and all emails go to me.

Well....:) first of all it doesn't work at all...loading Settings JavaScript from wrong URL....looks you've made your own modifications in xupload.js

Remove your "../upload/" from this line:

Code: Select all

<script src="../upload/' + form_action

Ok, very confused. I don't recall putting that there (but it is not in the original so I had to have) and I don't know why I would have done that. Anyways, the form worked for me before the change, as well as after, so what is this change doing anyways?

Will this help with the stalling issue I was having?

Thanks for looking into this for me.

Now works fine. About stall problem....probably this happens on long uploads and maybe Apache close persistent connection somehow by timeout or something. You should try to enable AJAX update mode. Set ajax_mode to 1 in config. Should reallly help.

So a new issue has occurred. When I click stop to abort the upload I get a javascript error.

I get "jah error:undefined"

I have replaced xupload.js with a clean version from the archive and it still persists.

Any ideas? This is in Safari, haven't tried other browsers.

In xupload.js remove line

Code: Select all

alert("jah error:"+req.statusText);

I've removed the line from the xstatus.js (not xupload.js) and that fixes that problem.

Thanks
