Pascal Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Hi, On my Processwire installation file uploads just randomly stopped working. Half an hour ago I could just drag and drop files into their fields. Now, when I drop a file, it opens in the browser window. When I chose a file via the dialogue and save, nothing happens. I remember this happend already with Processwire 2.3 on another server but am not sure how or if it was solved. Thanks in advance for any hints, Pascal Edit: Seems ProcessWire doesn't like umlauts in file names. Two hours wasted, but at least I know what it was. And apart from that, ProcessWire is working like a charm. Thanks RJay for your suggestions! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanJ Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Check your folder permissions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pascal Posted March 26, 2014 Author Share Posted March 26, 2014 The assets folder is set to 777. Are there any other permissions I could check? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanJ Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 I think most are set to 755, but I do not see any reason why 777 should not work. It depends on your host setup. Also you may want to check your space limitations on your server. This sounds like an issue I had when I was uploading a large amount of photos. Come to find out, I was out of space and had to increase it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pascal Posted March 26, 2014 Author Share Posted March 26, 2014 Neither 777 nor 755 seems to work. I deleted some files on the server, but it still doesn't work… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanJ Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Are you working on a shared hosting environment? If so, you will need to log into your cpanel account and increase the space. If you are unable to increase your space, you should contact them. Simply deleting some files will not have immediate results as your host does not reflect those changes immediately. I am almost certain this is hosting issue and not a ProcessWire one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pascal Posted March 26, 2014 Author Share Posted March 26, 2014 The space should be 1GB, the installation with all uploads has 75MB. File upload via FTP does work. Edit: I contacted someone at the webhoster. He said that the working FTP transfer is an indicator that this is probably a CMS related problem, not a server problem. Any ideas? Edit 2: I just noticed that this happens only with the fields in one specific template. Edit 3: The problem were special characters in file names.
