Server (IO) Error

[yahwho]

Hi,

Just installed your plugin. File access to folder it is uploading to is 777. All I get is “Server (IO) Error” when I try to upload a file.

Joomla 1.6

Linux Server

PHP Version 5.3.3

🙁

Edit: forget this, I worked it out. Forgot to enable FTP on Joomla global congif! Doh!

[yahwho]

OK maybe that wasn’t the solution. I have not changed anything since, and I’m getting this Server (IO) Error. Any ideas?

@yahwho. Thanks for posting to the support site. Ok. To help you out, you need to give us more information than what you have now. For example, you need to list what you placed in the article. For example, {easyflashuploader destination=’whatever/folder/you/used’|filesize=’4055′}. So, you have to tell us what you wrote. Also, let us know what changes, if any, you made to the original code. Thirdly, it would be very useful to know what type of file you uploader, including the file’s size. Lastly, let us know what settings you specified in the Plugins Manager.

It may seem like I am asking a lot, but in reality this is the bare minimum that someone would need to get an idea of what you are doing, so that we can see what needs to be fixed.

Hope to hear from you soon.

Hi Michael, thank you for replying.

1. The article it is in is currently blank with the following code in it

{easyflashuploader}

I specified the Default upload folder in Basic Options within the Plugin Manager. (doc_lib)

2. No changes have been made to any of your code.

3. I have tried to upload small png, jpg, and gif files all < 300KB.

4. I have not changed any settings within the Plugins Manager. i.e.

Default Permitted file types (separate by semi-colon. no spaces between).

– *.gif;*.jpg;*.png;*.pdf

Permitted MIME types (separate by semi-colon. spaces between allowed).

– application/octet-stream;image/gif;image/jpeg;image/pjpeg;image/png;application/pdf;application/msword;application/zip;application/x-compressed;application/x-zip-compressed;multipart/x-zip;application/excel;application/vnd.ms-excel;application/x-excel;application/x-msexcel

5. I am using Firefox 4.0.1, Latest Flash Plugin (think it’s 10. something). I do however have in Firefox the Java(TM) Platform SE 6 U15 6.0.150.3 disabled for security reasons. But this shouldnt effect Javascripts just Java Apps.

Cheers,

@yahwho. Thanks for taking the time to provide all that information. So far, the settings look good. The next thing I want you to do is to open the easyflashuploader.php file in a next editor, and go to line 401, and change:

debug: false,

to

debug: true,

It should place a textarea at the bottom of the page. Then make another attempt at uploading the file. After then, copy the results, and either post it here, or send it to me in an email (for privacy). Whichever you prefer.

For the record, I believe the issue is something related to your php.ini settings. I don’t know what, but showing the debugging information wold give us a clue as to what Server IO Error we are dealing with.

Thanks, I’ve got the log ready, what email address would you like me to send it to?

[Michael Gilkes]

@yahwho. I got the log. Thanks. From the debugging log, it says,

SWF DEBUG: Event: uploadProgress (OPEN): File ID: SWFUpload_0_0<br /> SWF DEBUG: Event: uploadError : IO Error : File ID: SWFUpload_0_0. IO Error: Error #2038<br /> SWF DEBUG: Event: uploadComplete : Upload cycle complete.<br /> Error Code: IO Error, File name: 10.jpg, Message: Error #2038

Doing a search on google for SWFUpload Error #2038, I have found two useful links to possible solutions:

• http://www.swfupload.org/forum/generaldiscussion/92?page=1
• http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1789863/swfupload-on-https-not-working

Apparently, other users of SWFUpload-based uploaders have experienced this error, but for various reasons. Please check them out, and see what solution relates to your error. When you find the solution, please share it with the rest of us.

With what I understand at this point, it could be an issue with https and swfupload. Or it could be a server/php setting.
