Hi
I’m communicating with my web host about this problem, but it doesn’t look promising thus far.
I’ve been using a Flash Upload form to allow clients to upload their files onto my site.
Its been working for months, with only minor problems cropping up. (mostly clients not seeing the file size limit posted above)
Anyway, now no matter how big, small, or what type of file you select to upload, the file goes through the motions of uploading it (progress status etc…) and just when its supposed to indicate a successful upload, I get this error “HTTP Error #500”
This error doesn’t show up in my web host control panels Error logs, only on the form.
I’m confident that I haven’t added anything of note (an image or two, and altered xml file thats it) within the last couple months. And I know I didn’t touch the upload form and its scripts since its been last confirmed as working. And I haven’t played with my My web host options either.
So I think my web host has done something, I just need proof. And hopefully a solution.
At any rate, I contacted them about them problem, they tested the form and say they didn’t get any error. I immediately checked the upload directory using FTP, and their file did upload properly. I then tried it, and got the error, and the file vanishes (never ends up in the upload directory)
Thinking it was perhaps some browser specific error, I tried it on multiple computers.
Mac Safari, Mac Firefox, PC Internet Explorer. All get the same error. (btw I should point out that the Flash form itself displays the error in its dynamic text field. The Web page doesn’t change)
I just threw together a dead simple html upload form and pointed it to the same PHP script that the Flash form points to (not a copy, the exact same one, in the same location etc…) and the test file uploaded.
So… It looks like whatever the problem is, its tied to Flash.
Did anything happen to Flash that could be responsible for this?
Could my web host, in its constant efforts to keep updating and improving their web hosting service, have enabled something that may now be conflicting with Flash?
I’m not sure what else to try, and I’m not looking forward to rebuilding the Flash form, especially if its Flash in general, and not this particular forms fault.
I need Flash to upload multiple files for me, activate multiple php scripts (notification and so on) and more things that I found difficult to find in more conventional scripts. All with an interface that matched well with the site.)
Well I hope that wasn’t too much of a long winded post.
But I just didn’t want to leave you with half information.
Thanks for your help.
