File upload failed
« on: April 20, 2009, 09:38:06 AM »
Hi everybody

I have a roblem when trying to upload a file as an attachment, size doesn't matter. I can Select the file and in the moment i click "upload" a red status bar on the top appears and tells: "File upload failed".

I have the temp dir configured as temp/ and it is writable. It even creates a file in the temp dir, but this file is only "touched" and remains 0KB.

I can not find anything in the logs.. does someone have an idea?

cheers

Which OS? Windows? Official RoundCube releases need full path for windows (C:/temp).

cat index.php | grep Version

after trying to upload a file, my temp dir looks like that:

ls -lah temp
total 12K
drwxrwxr--  2 www-data vu2005   4.0K 2009-04-20 16:21 .

-rw-------  1 www-data www-data    0 2009-04-20 16:21 rcmAttmntrhpc26


cat config/main.inc.php | grep temp/
$rcmail_config['temp_dir'] = 'temp/';


any ideas?

thanks :)

If I check the wiki, the minimum requirement for PHP is version 5.2.1 and not 5.2.0. But the install info just speaks of v5.2. Maybe here is a problem.

Okay, it was a PHP misconfiguration:

upload_tmp_dir = /tmp/ was not set in php.ini, then the system took the system default, wich is /tmp (without trailing slash). And then:

[Mon Apr 20 16:21:06 2009] [error] [client X] PHP Warning:  Unknown: open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/tmp) is not within the allowed path(s): (/var/www/virtual/foo.ch/webmail/:/usr/share/php/:/tmp/) in Unknown on line 0, referer: http://webmail.foo.ch/?_task=mail&_id=62217413149ec84c9d7fb2&_action=compose
[Mon Apr 20 16:21:06 2009] [error] [client X] PHP Warning:  File upload error - unable to create a temporary file in Unknown on line 0, referer: http://webmail.foo.ch/?_task=mail&_id=62217413149ec84c9d7fb2&_action=compose

And open_basedir was not defined in php.ini.

It works now, but i still wonder why PHP tries to safe stuff in /tmp/, although i configured temp/ in the roundcube config..??

Thanks a lot & happy uploading, Simon

Because the actual upload is a php-action, which uses the setting for temporary files in the PHP.ini and saves it in the location defined in the RoundCube config. Each of these temp locations has it's own purpose.
