I've been tearing my hair out about this one. I couldn't get Node Images to work. Kept getting message "can't attach images to this node" so then I just tried uploading a txt document and I would get the upload bar animating....then nothing. No error message, no attachment, nothing.

I have user permissions set to allow authenticated users to upload default list of image and doc types.

uploads enabled for that node type.

permissions for File folder set at 666

is there anything I'm forgetting? What have people found in the past to have stopped Upload module working?

I would be interested in the responses as well. Meanwhile, what is your situation? Shared hosting? Shell access? I know 777 works but I would like to understand this fully.

I have shared Apache server. I will have to try 777 and see if it makes a difference.

I had exactly the same symptoms with a 4.7 installation.

I found this thread:
http://drupal.org/node/64298

..which suggested turning the 'favicon' back on - I had disabled it on my marvin theme - and hey presto! it all worked again.

Worth a try?

(P.S. I've just tried it on garland in 5.1 and I can confirm that I had the same problem. I turned off the favicon in the theme configuration, then tried to upload.

It all looked fine, but when I submitted the page the file was not attached.

Turned the favicon on again and it all worked fine!)

I've been having the same problem. Just clicked to use the default favicon and upload.module is now working again. what's that about!

interestingly, this didn't affect the use of imce.module within tinymce. i'm able to upload with that tool just fine, without the favicon selected.

i haven't tried this with other themes yet....
