Hello,

Please, check if the Action property contains the valid URL to your upload processing script.

Hello,

Sorry for the long delay. You should set the ShowDebugWindow property value to true.

i get both of those errors; i have the showdebug as true, yet it still doesn't give me a debug window for those two errors. it does give me a debug window for other ASP related errors.

i am only running into these errors when i am attempting to upload files 500 megs or larger

please help

Most likely you have a server-side limitation for a maximum POST request length. Here you can find some information how to configure it:

http://www.aurigma.com/d...u/SamplesbyPlatforms.htm

BTW, when you debug some problem which occurs both in ActiveX and Java, it is better to do it with Java. At my opinion it is easier to do because it often writes a lot of useful information to Java console.

Hello,

If you are having problems with large files, one more possible reason is server timeout expiration. Also there should be enough disk space on the server to store your files. Try to upload your files to the server with both versions of Image Uploader. If it faild in both cases, then the reason of the problem is on the server side.
Sincerely yours,

Thanks for the reply.

It's a small image file. I guess I don't have right setting for uploader for my rails app. Do you have any idea why?

Is it because it can't find the folder called gallery? (whatever I named to the upload folder)

Or Is there some kind of configuration that I am missing?

Thanks much

I am getting the "The server or proxy not found" error again with rails 2.1.0 version.

I had to disable the "protect_from_forgery" from rails app.

I still get this error and on top of that i get this error .
"No route matches "/uploads/gallery/BasicDemo/upload.rb" with {:method=>:post}"

any ideas guys?

I wonder if someone has simple demo of updated ruby on rails app using your product.

thanks

Hello,

It seems you have not set up routing in Rails. The article Routing the Rails Way gives good outlook what routing is and how to set up it.

(back to this problem...)

No sir, there is no maximum post request length. can upload full 2 gig file on super fast connection [internal network], no problem. Problem happens at more realistic speeds like DSL, and Cable.

Timeout: Correct me if I am wrong, but the Timeout would only apply in the actual SAVE portion of the upload, yes? in my most recent upload attempt (using Mac/firefox image uploader 4.x) I am getting this error at differnt points in the upload itself (actual file size: 800megs, bombed out at; 35megs, 745kg, 22megs, 107 megs). Since the file has not as yet actually been touched by a server side script, how can timeout apply?

Oh - Before anyone mentions upgrading, Version 5 came out not long after we bought the product, since we haven't managed to get version 4 to work reliably, i am convinced that the product should do what it was advertised to do with the version we have and if it takes an upgrade to do what it is supposed to do in the first place, then that upgrade should be free.

Thank you.

It gives the idea that the problem is related to server timeout. Look, if you upload all huge files mentioned above in one package via DSL connection, request execution timeout can exceed and you get timeout on the server-side. Please, do the two things: try to increase timeout for request on your server, and send files in different requests.

Thank you for your reply -

My server Timeout for the saving page is (and has been for a year) 16 hours. I am pretty sure that that should be long enough. But if it is not long enough, how can that be the issue when sometimes (as stated before) the upload failes after only a couple 100 kbs and sometimes after 100 megs? there is no consistency there.

If it got to the same general point in the upload and failed each time, i would agree with you. but it does not.

As to uploading seperatly - i can't. it's all one file. we deal with real size super large graphics - e.g. the types used on Fleet Trucks. these things are bloody huge and can actually reach 2gig in one file. there is no choice to "send them seperately"

however, I do have FilesPerOnePackageCount = 1 which should in effect be the same isn't it?

Thank you
Scott

Hello Scott,

Thank you for your response.

The problem "server or proxy is not found" means that Image Uploader stops getting responses from a server. If your server is configured correctly (timeout and maxmium request length have appropriate values), this problem is definetely related to connection issues. It can be router issues (e.g. session timeout is exceeded on a router and it drops the connection), provider issues, or what else.

It would be greate if you install some traffic sniffer on both your workstation and server, and check what is happenning with HTTP connection during upload.

BTW, what server platform do you use (ASP.NET, PHP, etc.)?

Dmitry -

Yes, i've doen alot of looking into this in the last couple of days and found that what you say here is correct though, the error message is unique to Aurigma which made it very hard to troubleshoot. - you may want to consider putting more information in the error or adding it to your help file... actually an error section in general would be nice with your help documentation.

As it turns out, the uploader is losing connection with the server and then the backend script which does the saving of the file throws an error on the first attempt to read from the form. Now the problem is figuring out how to get the server to play nice with the connection.

the test machine is using an aircard - but we've had this same problem with DSL and Cable too. I am using IIS and ASP Classic (i've noticed that Microsoft specifically says that files over 100 megs really shouldn't be sent by way of HTTP - and makes a strong point of this for ASP.NET.

Can anyone suggest which failSave program is the best? i've tried ASPForm, ASPUpload, ABCUpload... and all of them fail in the same way. :\

Also, would it be worth setting up a PHP catcher page? if so, would apache be less inclined to fail?

Thanks

Good morning Scott,

I am not sure that PHP catcher will help you. First of all you need to figure out what causes this problem: server side or connection issues.

Traffic sniffer will help you to debug connection issues, you just log all TCP/IP packets and then check whether transmission completes successfully.
Sincerely yours,
Dmitry Sevostyanov
