Enable Upload Progress Bar

[jayscot]

I have my board up and running on Dreamhost. vShare is installed and running. But users upload multiple copies of videos because they are not notified that the upload has begun. I am attempting to activate the progress bar. The 505/404 errors occur for me. I have rechecked all permissions and they are at 777. I am sure the problem is my upload and temp directory paths in the cgi folder.

Does anyone know for sure what they should look like for Dreamhost?

This is what the paths look like for what I see when using FTP.
/myroot/rootofmywebsite/allthevsharefiles/cgi-bin/uudefault_config.pm

Does the import folder path on my server help with the answer?
/home/.bobby/myusername/mywebsite.net/templates_c/import

Thanks

.pl files need 755 permission. If perl is working, you will see page like

http://video.bizhat.com/cgi-bin/uu_upload.pl

When you go to the uu_upload.pl on on your site.

Yes, I saw the same error on my site as I saw when I clicked your link. However I went through and checked all the permissions again. Found one not right. Changed and then I saw the upload progress bar.

OK, I thought everything was working fine but the file appears to upload and goes nowhere. So now I need to figure out where the upload is going. The paths look right but something is wrong. Turn off the progress bar in settings and uploads do work.

After an upload the upload page was loading again so now after a change the redirect url is 'http://www.mywebsite.net/index.php', Since this works I am not sure why the upload path does not work as it is identical except for video instead of index.php.

BTW, my import folder and import video feature do not work yet either.

Again, I am using Dreamhost as my provider.

More on my Progress Bar problems... Nobody has offered any help so I had to work on it myself...

I knew the problems were all path related, but because I am on Dreamhost I was not sure what to change. The solution really came from viewing the import folder path and this gave me the full path on Dreamhost's servers. So now my uudefault_config.pm file shows an upload dir of /home/.bobby/myusername/myvsharedir/video/
And the real goofy one is the redirect_url which is ../upload.php
Of course the path_to_upload has the full "http://www.mywebsite/video/"

Once all these paths were correct my other problem of an error because of uploading filenames with spaces was corrected! Users can now upload files with many spaces and they can have the progress bar and information displayed to them during the upload. There is a 3 or 4 second delay with a blank screen showing immediately after the upload but then they are given the standard confirmation screen. During this delay there is a massive processor surge as something like a java script puts a big load on the user's terminal.

So there is progress. I am still working on things such as importing videos through admin but that will come.

Hallo
I enable the bar but I receive this error

"Cannot find flenght file"

What is it?

Hallo

"Cannot find flenght file"

What is it?

This is mostly caused by wrong configuration or server block access to find file.

Use real path in the configuration files, not symlink.

http://uber-uploader.sourceforge.net/?section=flength

I added at the end

<IfModule mod_security.c>
SetEnvIfNoCase Content-Type \
"^multipart/form-data;" "MODSEC_NOPOSTBUFFERING=Do not buffer file uploads"
</IfModule>

<IfModule mod_gzip.c>
mod_gzip_on No
</IfModule>

I checked /incluedes/config.php and use real path

$config['basedir'] = "/home/CPANELNAME/public_html";
$config['baseurl'] = "http://www.MYSITE.com";

but still having this error.. What else can I check?
The host is hostonnet, and the other script I installed in another domain (2.4) works fine

Hello,

I'm using the upload meter and it works great for me. My problem is that I want to change a few very basic things.

I have a cookie set for 'company' and another for 'oos_number'.
I have updated the uu_default_config.pm file so perl reads these cookies so they can be used in the path for where to store the file and for re-directing after the upload completes.

When I use the script with the following changes below, the progress meter doesn't show up.... it does however upload the file to the correct folder and it also re-directs to the correct place.

I have tried uploading any size of file from 19k to 110MB. The file uploads but the progress meter doesn't show.

If I remove my customizations and revert to the original, the progress bar shows again.

Please take a look at me uu_default_config.pm file below and see if you have any idea on what is wrong here.... I've spent hours on it.

Thanks
Marcel.
