Files not uploading in 4.0.10 (but with no errors)

[mark.picker]

Hi,

The file upload in 4.0.10 is causing us a heap of grief.  Main issue
is after clicking "Save" the file never uploads to the server, yet
there are no error messages (even in the coldfusion logs).  After it
saves the record if you open the object again, there is nothing listed
for the filename nor is there any entry in the database field.  The
file is also not on the server.

This happens with both the Flash and HTML widgets (we changed the
default from Flash to HTML)

With the flash widget, if you click the upload button it would say it
was 100% uploaded and give file size details, but never change to the
second message of "Don't forget to click save" or whatever the wording
is.

One of our sites was having this problem but after stuffing around
with it, it suddenly started working.  Problem is I don't know what
made it start working.  I didn't change any code, I was just going
through things like Admin -> Config and clicking Save without changing
anything and also updating app scope every time.  I've tried that
with
our second site, but it still isn't working.

This problem started the moment we upgraded to 4.0.10.

Has anyone seen this problem before?

Cheers
Mark

Random thoughts...

It might be a CF permissions issue.  You can get weird things when you
don't have a CF_temp directory created or have weird permissions on
said directory (this is where CF temporarily stores the file on upload
before moving tot he designated location).  Could be the location you
are moving the file to is not created or has odd permissions.

Try setting the entire CF install and project install directory
branches to full control for the CF service and see if that makes a
difference.  Then you can go aboiut locking down the directories until
it fails again.

Thanks for the quick reply Geoff.....this turned out to be something
dumb on my behalf.

In file.cfc:

core/packages/formtools/file.cfc

I have changed line 28 so it defaults to html rather than flash, but
missed the same option on line 161.  The second one is where the file
is actually uploaded and checked (I assume the flash widget is doing
this in it's own functions).  As soon as I changed the second default
to html, the problem went away.

So much time wasted by missing one line....:(

I guess if I had just extended dmFile and set the default there, the
problem would have been fixed but I didn't want to do this for every
project.

Again, thanks for replying so quickly.

Cheers
Mark
