ScottyToledo Posted September 22, 2006 Posted September 22, 2006 I invited some of my Moderators to the test board to help me test things out. Well, one of them is having trouble uploading. I have the permissions set to unlimited upload space, and yet, when he tries to upload, it times out. I have no trouble uploading though. Are there any more settings, besides the obvious ones, that I should be looking for?
Elemental Crisis Posted September 22, 2006 Posted September 22, 2006 Yeah, how big is the file he is trying to upload and what is his internet connection and is it wired or wireless.
ScottyToledo Posted September 22, 2006 Posted September 22, 2006 Yeah, how big is the file he is trying to upload and what is his internet connection and is it wired or wireless.It's just a small banner. And I know he's on broadband. The upload limit for my hosting service is 7MBs per upload, and the file is way under that. And yes, I have plenty of free space on my hosting service, over 20GBs worth. So that shouldnt be a problem.
ScottyToledo Posted September 23, 2006 Posted September 23, 2006 So is there anything I can do to fix this? Could it be a bug, a server issue or am I just screwed? My forum relies heavily on uploads. And if I cant get this figured out, I may as well forget about installing the upgrade.
phinsup Posted October 4, 2006 Posted October 4, 2006 I have an issue as well with one of the people testing my install, I have had no issues, however he gets no error message, it just says uploading and hangs there.
Luke Posted October 4, 2006 Posted October 4, 2006 Hmmmm.... Netscape hasn't been used in ages. Have him try IE, and if that works recommend FireFox.(Well it hasnt has very much popularity... Back in the day it was the "FireFox" of the times until Microsoft killed it. Still around, but not as widely used).
phinsup Posted October 4, 2006 Posted October 4, 2006 IE 6 worked fine. Go figure there is a browser crappier then IE :D
Luke Posted October 4, 2006 Posted October 4, 2006 IE 6 worked fine. Go figure there is a browser crappier then IE :DI think it has more to do with Netscape is very much out of date and barely managed anymore. In-fact (just checked) there is an 8.x version of it now. And as far as I know the "good developers" that were working on Netscape when Netscape was popular moved to the Mozilla FireFox project. It has been a while... but I don't think IE was built into windows at the time and you could get it separately... After IE was built into windows it was all over... I think there was a huge legal battle about this several years back.
Uwe Posted October 4, 2006 Posted October 4, 2006 Hi, I have the same prob with IE6.0.29 and FF1.0.7 in 2.2B1 and 2.2B2think its caused by some local settings, but I havent found out the reason yet.In FF its just "hanging" after pressing the upload button. Somehow its not really hanging since I still can go back...In IE its a little bit strange: the file goes into the attachment-list after upload, but when putting it into the post the whole domain is blocked for about 5 minutes in IE and FF (over domains still work). If I just wait this 5 minutes - before putting it into the post - it works.Updated already to SunJava 1.5.0_06-b05. Still not working.Tried without firewall. Also not working.Maybe anyone has an idea what other kind of setting may can cause thisUwe
Uwe Posted October 5, 2006 Posted October 5, 2006 Check your AV software.tried with av-guard switched off. Didnt help. AV-updates and scans are running daily. Any more suggestions? Wouldnt really like to rebuilt the whole system. There didnt come out any other problem with any other website yet...Uwe
Brock T Posted October 5, 2006 Posted October 5, 2006 I'm sure it's posted above and I just don't see it, but make sure the user has cleared his/her browsing cache. Might be something left in there conflicting.
