File Upload isn't successful

How?

Having the same problem.

matt0ne, tnx for taking the trouble to update us that you sorted it out... ;-)

Still hopefully waiting to be shared with the solution...

I have the same problem. Can anybody tell me how to solve it, please?

what size is the file ?

did you check max_file_upload in php.ini ?
did you check post_max in php.ini ?

both of the above may have to be increased depending on the size of the file and the settings in php.ini.

note that post_max includes everything in a post, therefor you will need to make post_max larger than max_file upload.

it would also behoove those in this thread to test against the -dev to see if problem persists.

I did change them last week, and it worked. That was the cause.

in that case marking closed.

In our case, changing these values di not help.

there isn't much for anyone to go on with regards to tryinig to track this down. Some debugging is needed I think. You can also try the -dev of this module to see if the problem may have already been fixed by patches submitted between the 1.0 release and the date of the last archive of -dev.

no updates in a long time. closing. please re-open (with reasons) if needed

Hi all,

I will post this message in a couple of help request in drupal.org, in order to be sure everybody finds them.

I got mad for a whole week with Drupal 6.5 on a Mac OS X with XAMPP. I started wuth a clean drupal installation, no added modules, then I tried to make a blog post attacching a file and I was not able to upload it. Nada.

What it happened was that in the blog edit form, using the file upload "attach" button", nothing was attached and nothing was uploaded in the Drupal "tmp" dir.

I read a lot of post about:
- setting safe mode off in php.ini or be sure that ownership of tmp dir was the same of Drupal
- checking permitted file types and sizes in the "file uploads" configuration of Drupal
- checking 777 rights on the sites/default/... Drupal directory

Nothing worked until I did this:
- I EXPLICITELY SET the upload tmp dir in php.ini to be THE SAME of the tmp dir I set up in the file upload config in Drupal; forr instance:
upload_tmp_dir = /tmp
(just remember you must use full path in php.ini)

then suddenly all worked very fine.. the "attach button" attached my files and they showed in my blog posts!

I suspect many people getting mad at file upload here are using a plain xampp setup and their upload_tmp_dir is not set!

Thank for for posting solutions like this! It's so helpful :)
