This is on a clean install, no multisite stuff.

I click Media/Add media, fill in a title, browse to a small gif, and click preview. I get the same form again, and it tells me the file doesn't exist. There's no file in ../media or files/media or files/media/temp. Below the upload field it says: A file already exists, uploading another will replace it.

If I choose Save, I get the message: Media file media/1/transfer doesn't exist
(I have created a derivative, that crops and scales an icon.)

I'm pretty sure I fixed that problem (error within the form preview). If you have trouble after downloading the updated CVS, please let me know.

Sorry, but the problem persits - and it's not limited to preview. I can't get "Add Media" to work at all.
This is on the php 4.3.9 installation.

Clicking "Add Media", browsing an image (tried both gif and jpg), and previewing yields:
"Media file media/transfer doesn't exist"
If instead I click save, I get:
"Media file media/2/transfer doesn't exist"

Now, if I click "Media folders", I see:

Folder: generic

    * My image name

      Media file media/1/transfer doesn't exist
    * My other image

      Media file media/2/transfer doesn't exist
    * My test image

      Media file media/3/transfer doesn't exist

...and so on.

Browsing $DRUPAL/files/temp shows all image files I have previewed or saved. Browsing ../media shows all images I have saved (in a folder each, named wih a hash value).

Browsing $DRUPAL/files/media shows nothing.

I created a folder named $DRUPAL/files/media/transfer and gave apache write-perms - but no go.
I removed my derivative, but still no go.
I significantly increased post-size and the timeout value in php.ini, didn't help either.

The only thing I haven't tried is a clean install on php5. I'll try that too, since I suppose this could be a php4-only bug.

I misread an error message.

When I attempt to prevew in add media - the message is:

Media file media//transfer doesn't exist

IOW - the number is missing, and there are two slashes in a row.

Still, the number is there if I attempt to save - and it still doesn't work.

Well, investigating over and over again - I'm now unable to reproduce the bug with a clean install and no other modules added. I don't quite know what went wrong this morning - but AFAICT it must have been I who goofed. <:)
