Problems uploading?


Recommended Posts

Perhaps there is a simple solution to this I'm not seeing. I am trying to upload 2 files to the 'fuge challenge' thread.

They are:

PaulPCm (26.5Kb)

and

PaulDmTheme (151bytes only)

I included the file names in case there is an issue with them and the upload. They are both midi files.

I've used a total of 166.1 kb on uploaded files.

Every time I try to upload I get an "upload failed" message.

I can't reproduce this behaviour. I'm able to upload a MIDI file using the Upload facility, then when I post my reply it is downloadable from within the post. Everything seems to work fine.

Perhaps you have already uploaded the file you are trying to upload and it's "in progress", thus you need to delete the old version? Go to edit attachments and check the list for anything whose date is listed as "In Progress". Delete them and try again (though be careful you don't delete anything you later regret).

Further, it would be useful if you provided a more detailed explanation of what the error message you are receiving actually says.

umm, okay, i just had the same problem, with a jpg AND an nwc file. please fix this?

Can't fix it if you don't know what the problem is.

My guess would be server related issues. It shouldn't be a permission problem, and it isn't completely broken because Mike can use it.

Well, exactly, I'm not psychic. And everything (on the surface at least) seems to be set up correctly, so there's no solving this through intuition.

I'll call in vB support, they should locate the source of the problem.

Checked. No duplicate file names. No "in progress". The midi files are within the allowed limit, they are small, and they aren't already listed. Tried changing the file names.

Further, it would be useful if you provided a more detailed explanation of what the error message you are receiving actually says.

Here is the exact message:

PaulPCmFuge.mid:

Upload of file failed.

Edit: I've tried again 12 hours later(this post), in case it was a server issue that was time sensitive.

vB support have yet to figure out the problem. I would imagine the issue will be resolved some time tomorrow after they've had some time to bang ideas together.

Obviously, this is pretty disastrous given how crucial the attachment feature is to us here at YC. Apologies to everyone affected.

I am having a similar problem when I upload is says "failed". when I try to play it I get this message:

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Forbidden

You don't have permission to access /uploads/Phantomflutist/ on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
