Forum OpenACS Q&A: File upload failure

Collapse
Posted by Harish Krishnan on
I have been having a strange problem. I am running aolserver3.3ad13 and an installation of oacs 4.6.2. WhenI try uploading a binary file like a gif/jpeg I get upload failure. The message is:

Error writing content: resource temporarily unavailable
    while executing
"ns_conncptofp $fp"

I have used netscape 7.1,opera 6.0 and Konqueror to do the upload and each time it fails. This is not the case with text files.Here is something stranger. Only one machine in my office is able to do it with Netscape 7.1 and opera 7.11 beta 2 but it fails for konqueror.
Finally opera 7.11 consistently uploads all types of files.

I _then_ tried tinkering with the gifs I had tried uploading and removed the zero bytes and voila it gets uploaded.

Can anybody throw light on whats happenning?
