Upload Error: 403

You should use 6.x-1.1-beta3 version. Are there the same problems?

Important

You also have to give the user the permissions to "mass upload images", otherwise 403 is sent. But it could also be a session problem. Try to log off and login again.

Please let me more know about your used browser, Flash version, OS (operating system) and the server configuration. Otherwise, it's difficult to give a concrete response.

This should work fine, have you enabled "clean urls"? If not, try to configure it so that it works. It's possible that Flash Player has problems with a construct of "?q=fupload/flash". But I'm not sure.

I get the same error. Clean URLS enabled. I am using Firefox, latest 9... flash, MAC OS X. I am on PHP5 and MYSQL4 and apache. It shows the progress bar on the first upload and give the 403 error. Then I add other files to upload and it doesn't show the upload bar again.

Mac OS X now? Why not Win XP with Clean URLs, Firefox, latest Flash 9, PHP5, MySQL 4/5? Does this work? It should.

But try to create a new user, give him the permission to "mass upload images" & to "edit captions" and then, login, try to upload images.

P.S.: Please give me the source code of the page "node/add/image". So it's easier to find the problem.

It didn't work, here is the file you requested. It is on a sandbox site if you want to take a closer look.

Ah, I suspected the problem, but you should not use devel version yet:

post_params: {"PHPSESSID" : "" , "nodetype" : "image", "fieldname" : "images"},

PHP Session ID keeps empty, that's the problem. But nobody else has this problem.
Normally, $user->sid should contain the sessionid.

Try to create a block which allows to execute PHP and insert the following lines:

<?php
global $user;
print_r($user);
?>

What is returned?

If you use dev, you should now clear the whole cache and disable & enable again image_fupload module that it works.

same problem here,

after installation of 6.x.1.1-rc1 the module worked fine.
Then I had installed the Photos Module (http://drupal.org/project/photos) which uses the swfupload module too....
Maybe there is the reason for the 403 Error? (Clash of two different swfupload installations)
Someone else with the same history?

@grantcat
O.T. How can I enable the PHP filter in blocks? There are only the filters TEXT and HTML but I miss the PHP filter (which I always had in Drupal 5.x) ??? :-(

Yes, you're right, my module conflicts with album module at the moment. I will have to work out why this happens. You got the reason for the problem, thanks. I will work on it =)

Oh god, album modules has a very "nice" PHP coding style which overwrites the $user variable and voilà, session id will be deleted => 403 error. I will create an issue for album module ;-)

Viel Glück :-)

OK, I wrote now a little workaround for that, so that it will work, not depending on photo module (or also other modules) being enabled or not.
Fixed in CVS HEAD. Should be in devel version tomorrow ;)

Ich werde es schaffen =)

Gruss zurück,
Stefan

Has this fixed the problem for others? I see this is an old ticket, but I am having the same issue trying to use it with Album.

Don't reopen such old issues. Your problem doesn't affect this issue exactly.

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.

#20 worked for me too, thanks a lot!

well, this is surprising. I found my .htaccess modified today:

########## Attempt to solve 'Global Configuration' save issue, FTP layer issue, Media Upload issue
# File modified on Mon Feb 15 14:04:37 2010 by server
# SecFilterEngine is not a supported htaccess directive
# SecFilterEngine Off
# File modified on Mon Feb 15 14:04:45 2010 by server
# SecFilterScanPOST is not a supported htaccess directive
# SecFilterScanPOST Off
########## End - Attempt to solve 'Global Configuration' save issue, FTP layer issue, Media Upload issue

Any help will be most welcome, I just don't know what to do

Please contact your provider. It seems that either mod_sec isn't installed or they don't like that it will be deactivated.

thanks grandcat,
it seems mod_sec is not installed on my shared host, do I have any chance of succeeding without it?

It's better if it isn't installed. Nevertheless, you should contact your hoster. Probably, there's another thing which blocks the connection.
You should also check your Drupal settings and set your site online.

If you are unable to turn off mod_security, download the 'persistent login' module and then when logging in, check off the 'remember me' button. This will drop a cookie and then instead of getting a 403 (access denied) persistent login's cookie keeps you logged in and the images upload.

#20 worked for me too :)

Many Thanks

#20 worked for me with a small modification

SecFilterEngine Off
SecFilterScanPOST Off
