TXP 4.2.0 File Upload no longer working
I’m afraid it’s that simple: it worked a few months ago, now it doesn’t.
First I checked the file size – it’s well within the 2MB default.
I double checked permissions – Publisher.
Tried a different browser – Chrome then IE9
Diagnostics – all good.
I can select a file (a 389kb .PDF) through “Browse.” I hit upload – Chrome shows percentage progress to 100%, IE9 just sits like a bump on a log for a few seconds, then BOTH clear the field where the file name was and there’s nothing added to the “Files.”
Client is desparate to have this promotion in place and I don’t understand what could be wrong.

Re: TXP 4.2.0 File Upload no longer working
Maybe not related to your problem, but you really should upgrade.
And who knows, maybe it helps :)

Re: TXP 4.2.0 File Upload no longer working
Can you post diagnostics here? Has your host upgraded or modified its server software such as PHP?

Re: TXP 4.2.0 File Upload no longer working
An interim solution:
FTP your file to the files folder. Then open Admin > Files, there you see a dropdown menu titled “Existing file”.

Re: TXP 4.2.0 File Upload no longer working
Are you using a plugin to upload with such as EBL_Upload? I don’t see a percentage progress indicator at all when using txp’s standard file upload.

Re: TXP 4.2.0 File Upload no longer working
I’m hunting for the FTP User and PW (most folks still in traffic right now).
I’m not using any Upload Plugin – it’s directly into Content > Files
Unsure if host has altered any settings.
I’ll upgrade ASAP once I get the FTP info UNLESS I can upgrade right from the backend.

Re: TXP 4.2.0 File Upload no longer working
Maybe its a stupid advice but have you checked that your file has no white space or dots in the name? If I remember correctly I had this same problem once and simply renaming the file solved it.

Re: TXP 4.2.0 File Upload no longer working
No, that wasn’t the answer, but it was good advice to remove spaces. I know that problem can happen, but I hadn’t thought to even try it, so thanks for reminding me!

Ok , it was a try ;)
Anyway, just to be sure, my advice was directed also towards accented words, apostrophes and any other non ascii charachter.

Does uploading images work?
If so, compare permissions on the files and images folder.

Re: TXP 4.2.0 File Upload no longer working
I had this same problem some week ago. Was the webserver’s manager that have modified some server configuration!

Re: TXP 4.2.0 File Upload no longer working
I’ve tried the Image upload as well as the File upload and neither work. After a long, frustrating time, I believe that the webserver modified some server config as well – I’ll be updating Textpattern to the latest.
Thank you for all your input and ideas – I was so ready to blame another person who briefly had permission to upload things – turns out it was just bad luck and timing, not a conspiracy.
