This is one of the most needed modules ever - uploading pics one at a time is awful. That said, I can't seem to get it to work. I *think* it is because swfupload is not working properly. Are there any tricks to getting that module to work properly? Thanks!

Can you be more specific? There aren't really any tricks to it. Are you getting any errors? Are you able to get the SWFUpload form to show up on regular node uploads? If not, then yeah, it's a problem with SWFUpload.

Well, everything seems like it will work until after you select the multiple files and it prints the the upload status to the screen. As each image "uploads", the status bar turns red and reports "Server Error!" and the files do not really upload. The log indicates "Access Denied". I checked permissions and admin does have them for swfupload. I don't see any for IMCE separately.

Are you able to upload images using the plain SWFUpload on the node add forms under Uploads?

With IMCE SWFUpload disabled, I try to add multiple file attachments to a blog post and get essentially the very same error. Problem is definitely in SWFUpload, but I've not gotten any responses to the ticket I subscribed to over a month ago...was hoping it was something obvious :) Thanks for your help! Appreciate anything you think I should try.

Hmm, without being able to reproduce I'm afraid I can't help much. Maybe temporarily chmod the entire files directly to 777 is all I can think of.

Sites/default/files is/was already 777 :/

If you think of anything else, please let me know! Thanks!

I get the error:

The selected file 2din3md.jpg could not be uploaded. Only files with the following extensions are allowed: .

I don't know where to set that. I changed the swfupload settings and imce settings and even the swfupload code itself to allow more file types.

I don't even see where the error message is being generated. It's not in this or the swfupload module.

dugh: The error is coming from Drupal's forms system since the modules just hook into that to require certain file types. That said, I have no idea why you might be getting that error and I unfortunately don't have the resources to spend any time on it in the next couple weeks.

Let me know if you can figure it out :-/

I just faced the same problem with SWFupload module where it was working properly on one server and doing exactly opposite on other one. I was getting 403 error as 'server error'.
I searched on google and I found this code to put in .HTACCESS file.
Here is the code:

########## Attempt to solve 'Global Configuration' save issue, FTP layer issue, Media Upload issue
SecFilterEngine Off
SecFilterScanPOST Off
########## End - Attempt to solve 'Global Configuration' save issue, FTP layer issue, Media Upload issue

I got this code from this url:
http://forum.joomla.org/viewtopic.php?f=431&t=265427&p=1216787

After updating my .HTACCESS file with the above code , My problem resolved.

I have the same symptoms described in this post (red upload status bar). I'm not getting any server error (that I know of) and nothing is entered into the log.

Dugh: I'm receiving the exact same error message as you, regarding the file type list of "." - did you come across a solution to this problem?

I would be really appreciative of any advice, really want to get this module working.

Same issue. But only for certain roles. (Role 1 actually works.)

I was wondering if there had been any developments on the symptoms described by Dugh, mintsauce and myself. I've been searching for months now and haven't been able to get this feature working.
