Weird issue uploading image file

Posted by El Bandito on December 8, 2012 at 7:18pm

I had an image field attached to a content type. Uploaded loads of images to lots of content no problems. I then added the same image field to another content type. However for some reason uploads to the second content type fail.

In Firefox I see the message "An unrecoverable error occurred. The uploaded file likely exceeded the maximum file size (64 MB) that this server supports." and Firebugs console reports "NetworkError: 403 Forbidden - http://mydomain.co.uk/file/ajax/field_sidebar_images/und/form-a0BA8npdHBpnyUpXs45pjrkPtDlu6iBefs5l6nusmv0".

In IE the Ajax throbber just throbs forever.

I know the problem isn't the image itself, or its size as the field settings are the same in both places the field is used, and I've tried uploading the same file to both content types.

I'm stumped. Any ideas ?

Thanks

Is the field configured to save the files in different directories for both content types? Do you have permissions to write files to this directory?

Thanks but nope, all the field settings are exactly the same. I am logged in as the same user ( 1 ).

The interesting thing is that the problematic content type has a bunch of rich text fields ( about 10 or so ) each of which is rendered as editable by CKEditor. I have just disabled Javascript i n Firefox and tried again and without the CKEditor loading for those fields the image upload was successful.

Not sure what this tells me ?
