CFFILE - Upload on Unix/Solaris not working..

[DaveF67]

after removing MODE and ACCEPT This still does not work:

<CFFILE ACTION="UPLOAD" FILEFIELD="Form.FiletoUpload"^M
DESTINATION="#variable.v_UPLOADdir#/site/#FORM.SITEID#/upload"^M
NAMECONFLICT="#nameConflict#"^M

>^M

The debugging code reads as follows:

but when I check in that directory, there are no files :(

What version of Coldfusion?

I have cffile action=upload working fine with CFMX 6.1 on Solaris 8.

Also, remove the form. in your filefield="" name and add a trailing slash to
your DESTINATION:

<CFFILE ACTION="UPLOAD" FILEFIELD="FiletoUpload"
DESTINATION="#variable.v_UPLOADdir#/site/#FORM.SITEID#/upload/"
NAMECONFLICT="#nameConflict#"

>

See the example in the docs. There is no FORM. in their examples:
[url]http://livedocs.macromedia.com/coldfusion/6.1/htmldocs/tags-p35.htm#wp3540091[/url]

Does the user that coldfusion is running as have write permissions to the
DESTINATION directory?

I got CFFile working once in 6.1.... but I am using MX7

your DESTINATION:

<CFFILE ACTION="UPLOAD" FILEFIELD="FiletoUpload"
DESTINATION="#variable.v_UPLOADdir#/site/#FORM.SITEID#/upload/"

**** Nice Catch! **** I changed it to "#FORM.FiletoUpload#"

I will need to chech on this...


Aftter changing to "#FORM.FiletoUpload#" I now get:


The form field

"/opt/coldfusionmx7/runtime/servers/coldfusion/SERVER-INF/temp/wwwroot-tmp/neotm
p27424.tmp"
did not contain a file.

[Kronin555]

The form field

"/opt/coldfusionmx7/runtime/servers/coldfusion/SERVER-INF/temp/wwwroot-tmp/neotm
p27424.tmp"
did not contain a file.

OK, are you sure you have the enctype on your form set correctly?

<form enctype="multipart/form-data">

[DaveF67]

the enctype is ok...

when I use "FileToUpload" I get NO ERRORS, but the debugging code reads the
same as the first post. i.e. filesize = 0 (size of the uploaded file),
fileWasSaved=No etc.

When I use "#FileToUpload#" I get this ERROR:

Error Occurred While Processing Request
The form field
"/opt/coldfusionmx7/runtime/servers/coldfusion/SERVER-INF/temp/wwwroot-tmp/neotm
p27444.tmp" did not contain a file.

The error occurred in *** EDITED ****

Dave,

I will say it again. Do not, I repeat do not, place the filefield name in
##'s. It should simply be:
filefield="FileToUpload"

Some more troubleshooting:
Make sure that this directory:
/usr/local/apache2/htdocs/infoweb3/site/1/upload
exists on the server. Also, ensure that it is writable by the user that
Coldfusion is running as.

Check the coldfusion log files to see if there's any further debugging
information in there. Specifically Application.log and Server.log

[DaveF67]

a chmod 777 to this dir
/usr/local/apache2/htdocs/infoweb3/site/1/upload
seems to have fixed the problem.
THANKS!
