"Upload Error: 404" when using Flash-driven uploader

[Jon F]

Hi folks,

I've been battling this problem for days now. I've tried different MySQL versions, erased and uploaded, started from scratch - everything I could do in my best knowledge. I've read the documents and my error doesn't appear to be listed, so I'm using this forum as a last result. Here is the problem -

Whenever I use the flash uploader, I get a "Upload Error: 404" despite the file sizes - however, if I use the simple uploader, everything works as planned. I've checked permissions according to the installation document, and I've tried multiple computers in my network.

Here's the account information -

Here's the link to the gallery -

I've attached a picture for you to reference.

Thanks again,
Jon

Hm. That's strange. Do you have access to the tmp_upload folder of your web server? Or can you please check the content of the albums/ dir, if the files are there, regardless of the error message?

Hello Αndré, I appreciate your assistance.

Do you have access to the tmp_upload folder of your web server?

This is a shared hosting account, so I'm assuming no.

Or can you please check the content of the albums/ dir, if the files are there, regardless of the error message?

Files uploaded using the Flash uploaded do not appear in the directory though those that are uploaded using the classic uploader are.

Thanks again,
Jon

Sorry, but I cannot help you any further. I never had that issue, but it comes somehow from your web server. I assume there's an issue with the configuration of your web server. But I'm no expert in this field.

[Jon F]

Oh boy, well, thanks for your attempt.

I'm really not sure what to do at this point. Your software was easily the most usable in terms of what I had been looking for.

Thanks again though.

You can try to use the JUpload plugin as an alternative batch upload interface for your users. You, as admin, can always use the FTP + batch add feature.

Hi Andre,

I'll guess I'll try that as an alternative. For what it's worth, I had a feeling that the main website (which is running Drupal) had an affect with its .htaccess file during uploads. I removed the file and got a 403 error instead.

Sorry to post again, but should I mark this as resolved? I've found an alternative but I'm still open to any solution.

Do you have any htaccess files in your Coppermine directory or sub-directories? Maybe that's the culprit.

should I mark this as resolved? I've found an alternative

Please describe your alternative to help others with the same issue. Then you can mark it as solved. Maybe someone will post here later who has a real solution for that issue.

Hi Andre,

No .htaccess file in my gallery directory.

Please describe your alternative to help others with the same issue.

I was actually referring to your batch suggestion which I'll try in a few minutes. If someone needs help with that, I think there's a support document for that.

I'm facing the same problem.
I already take a look onto my /album folder and there is no problem there.
this is the message that appears to me:

HTTP Status: 406.

That's not the same issue. Please start a new thread.
