[Forum] No file uploaded and no local file found when importing local XML style file

[Mr Baldman]

When i try to upload a new style xml file located on my machine i get the following message...

No file uploaded and no local file found

I thought safe mode upload may need enabling so gave IUSR_MachineName modify/read/write access to a subdirectory in my forum called /uploadTmp and specified this in the safe mode upload directory setting box.

This didnt change anything, i got the same error.

So i ran upload diagnostics and it reports...

file_uploads: On
open_basedir: None
safe_mode: Off
upload_tmp_dir: C:\WINDOWS\Temp
upload_max_filesize: 2.00 MB

Results
No errors occurred while opening the uploaded file for reading.
You should be able to turn off the "Upload In Safe Mode?" option without any adverse effects.

So i turn safe mode off but i still get the message: No file uploaded and no local file found

The upload diagnostics reports...

file_uploads: On
open_basedir: None
safe_mode: Off
upload_tmp_dir: C:\WINDOWS\Temp
upload_max_filesize: 2.00 MB

Results
No errors occurred while opening the uploaded file for reading.

The file is under 2mb so why am i getting this error?

I have found this to be a browser issue for me in the past. (Meaning, I had to try multiple times to try and get the file uploaded....)

Which browser are you using to try this?

[Mr Baldman]

have tried opera and firefox.

i will test IE and Safari too but it seems to me like it cant find the file once its uploaded it to the temporary remote location, hence meaning it would be a server upload/directory permission issue?

[ENF]

It's possible; but when I saw this error message previously, I didn't change anything but the browser.

I'll check my notes since we are mostly an IIS shop as well.

[Mr Baldman]

All Browsers give the same error.

IE, Firefox, Safari, Chrome and Opera.

Hi there,

I checked our settings under IIS6:

file_upload: On
safe_mode: Off
upload_tmp_dir: E:\PROD\ENT\tmpup
upload_max_filesize: 10.00 MB

IUSR_MachineName = R,W,M,W

Works under all current releases of major browsers.

Interestingly enough, we don't have this command set: (it's commented out right now, or is that what you mean by 'none'?)

open_basedir: None

Not sure what else it could be....

[Mr Baldman]

thanks for the info.

it actually says 'open_basedir: None'

i will check the directory permissions on our windows temp directory as this could be the issue, however avatar, profile picture and post attachments all work fine so i dont think its related to that.

Ah! Change that line to read just like this:

;open_basedir =

That may be your problem!

[Mr Baldman]

it was actually set like you have it in php.ini, but in the diagnostics screen it shows as 'none'

[TheHideoutGuy]

Are you making changes to the correct php.ini? Is PHP reading the correct php.ini? Usually when "none" is displayed as the value to a setting in phpinfo() output, it means that that setting was not set in the active php.ini.

Does your phpinfo() output show that the active php.ini is the same one as you're editing?

Excellent point. My phpinfo shows "No Value" as mine is commented out.

[Mr Baldman]

Are you making changes to the correct php.ini?

yes, im editing the one listed below, which is "C:\Program Files\PHP\php.ini " and the line in the file shows this....

; open_basedir, if set, limits all file operations to the defined directory
; and below. This directive makes most sense if used in a per-directory
; or per-virtualhost web server configuration file. This directive is
; *NOT* affected by whether Safe Mode is turned On or Off.
;open_basedir =

so basically its commented out. should i remove the comment character?

here is part of my phpinfo() as output by vbulletin adminCP...
