xupload install problem

#1 Postby barnsz » Oct 11, 2006 11:11 am

hi sisoft

i need help for installing xupload.

i'm a graphics guy and very new to php & sql

i guess i got all the permissions right - since i'm able to call upload_status.cgi but it only returns "transfer complete!" instantly - no matter how large the file is. i dont get the progressbar and nothing gets uploaded.

http://www.oopsdigital.com/upload_form.html

i use:
xupload 2.5 free
Perl version 5.8.3

my dir structure is like this:

/cgi-bin/xupload/*.cgi (for the xupload.cgi files)
/uploads (in the root dir)
/temp (in the root dir)
/uploadform.html (in the root dir)

my config file looks like this

--------------- cut here --------------------------

package XUploadConfig;

BEGIN
{
use Exporter;
@XUploadConfig::ISA = qw( Exporter );
@XUploadConfig::EXPORT = qw( $c );
}

our $c=
{
# Directory for temporary using files
temp_dir => '/temp',

# Directory for uploaded files
target_dir => '/uploads',

# Path to the template using for upload status window
templates_dir => '/cgi-bin/xupload/Templates',

# Allowed file extensions delimited with '|'
ext_allowed => 'jpg|jpeg|gif|png|rar|zip|mp3|avi|txt|csv',

# URL to send all input values from upload page
# This setting can be submitted from HTML form, then it will have priority
url_post => '/cgi-bin/xupload/post.cgi',

# The link to redirect after complete upload
# This setting can be submitted from HTML form, then it will have priority
redirect_link => 'http://www.oopsdigital.com/',

# Max length of uploaded filenames(without ext). Longer filenames will be cuted.
max_name_length => 64,

# Type of behavior when uploaded file already exist on disc. Available 3 modes: Rewrite/Rename/Warn
copy_mode => 'Rename',

# Maximum total upload size in Kbytes
max_upload_size => 700000000,

# Time to keep temp upload files on server, sec (24 hours = 86400 seconds)
temp_files_lifetime => 86400,

# CSS names
styles => { 'black' => 'black.css',
'hitech' => 'hi_tech.css',
'aqua' => 'aqua.css',
'tiny' => 'tiny.css',
'contrast'=> 'contrast.css',
},

# Template names
templates => { 'simple' => 'simple.html',
'hitech' => 'hitech.html',
'nice' => 'nice.html',
},
};

1;

#2 Postby barnsz » Oct 11, 2006 12:54 pm

seams i got the upload working :)

changed temp_dir & target_dir to "/home/oops...."

seams that has fixed it.

but i still dont get the progressbar - still jumps to "transfer complete" instantly.

any ideas?

I hade similar problems. You need to change also templates_dir.

My PM config looks like this:

Code: Select all

our $c=
{
 # Directory for temporary using files
 temp_dir        => '/var/www/web55/html/cgi-bin/uploadtemp',

 # Directory for uploaded files
 target_dir      => '/var/www/web55/html/cgi-bin/uploadfinish',

 # Path to the template using for upload status window
 templates_dir   => '/var/www/web55/html/cgi-bin/upload/Templates',

Maybe an idea for the XUpload Developers. It is nowhere mentioned to use the absolute path here. I think it would help the users to add sample path in comments. :)

This has been in a few posts on this forum and is probably caused by your server buffering the uploads.

I added a .htaccess file to the folder my XUpload cgi scripts are in as follows:

SetEnvIfNoCase Content-Type "^multipart/form-data;" "MODSEC_NOPOSTBUFFERING=Do not buffer file uploads"

This did the trick for me.

Yup that .htaccess file did it :)

i cost me about 2 days now - but now i' feel relieved.

i'm sorry - l looked through the other posts - but it wasnt obvious to me - it seams.

Thanks for all the answers.
