Hi,

after having image_fupload for a couple of days, I'm now getting the following error when trying to upload a couple of images:

Validation error, please try again. If this error persists, please contact the site administrator.

(I'm doing this as user #1)

The widget says: "20 images uploaded. Please wait until all images have been processed". Generating nodes from the images seems to fail during processing, at least no or just 2-3 nodes are created. "Processing" does not finish anymore.

Watchdog logs:

attepmting to authenticate session id [...], user from IP address [...]

"Severity: debug". This applies to Image FUpload 6.x-3.0-rc2; using "Image FUpload (CCK)"; "Image FUpload (image)" is disabled. Setting the priority to "critical" since uploads do not work anymore and no other modules were changed and/or updated recently.

Any ideas?

Thanks & greetings, -asb

Which module produces this error message?

attepmting to authenticate session id [...], user from IP address [...]

It seems that some security rules for a security module which I don't know, have been modified to be too strict. This would cause this error. This is not directly related to FUpload, I think.

Hi,

> Which module produces this error message?

The full watchdog message is, for example (IP addresses etc. replaced by [...]; emty field replaced by (empty)):

Type	image_fupload
Date	Saturday, October 10, 2009 - 05:47
User	[...]
Location	[...]/fupload/flash
Referrer	(empty)
Message	attepmting to authenticate session id [...], user from IP address [..]
Severity	debug
Hostname	[...]
Operations	(empty)

At least this seems to point to image_fupload.

I'm not sure what such a security module might be; I'm neither using access control modules (like "Nodeaccess"), nor access control extensions (like "Content Permissions" sub-module, provided by CCK). Also, I haven't installed new or updated existing modules recently.

Related to validation in general I made the following changes:

  • restricted a couple of views (e.g. the "tracker" views override) to a role (undone, all views are now "unrestricted" again; result: validation error remains)
  • made the CCK "image" field and one node reference field "required" on the image content type (undone, unchecked the "required" checkboxes in all occurrences I could find; result: validation error remains)

At this point I'm completely stuck. Please drop a line if there's anything else I can provide to help to debug this!

Thanks & greetings, -asb

Hi,

short addition: I re-checked all fields for "required" values, there's definitely nothing "required" anymore.

What else could be "valildated" when image_fupload is running?

Edit: Looking for alternatives...

Another thing, perhaps your problem is an "old problem" (yes, it's a bug of FUpload): You may not set a "cache minimum time", you have to set it to "0", also the cache should be set to "normal caching". Does this help?
