File upload problems
Love this program. But when tryin to make th eupload program work I get a 500 error when the script runs. I have tried the html.pl mods and default.cfg with the original db.cgi and all runs but of course the field are messed up but when i bring the db.cgi into play i get a 500 error. The only thing I can guess is maybe my path is wrong. What should a path be? I have my web site at www.horsesearchplus.com and the images directory is listingimages and is in my main directory. I do run the script from another url since this web site uses a shopping cart and they tell me they disable cgi with the shopping cart in place. Everything worked great till the upload mod!! Any help is appreciated.

my files can be found at
http://www.allen-pinckard.com/cgidbman/dbcgi.txt
http://www.allen-pinckard.com/cgidbman/defaultcfg.txt
http://www.allen-pinckard.com/cgidbman/htmlpl.txt

and the images should be stored in
http://www.horsesearchplus.com/listingimages
and the scripts are called from
http://www.horsesearchplus.com



thank you

Somehow when you installed the mod, all of the new lines in sub delete_records ended up on one line. Below is the code you need to replace, keeping all of the individual lines.

Code:

($restricted = 1) if ($auth_modify_own and !$per_admin);

LINE: foreach $line (@lines) {
if ($line =~ /^$/) { next LINE; }
if ($line =~ /^#/) { $output .= $line; next LINE; }
chomp ($line);
@data = &split_decode($line);
($output .= "$line\n" and next LINE) if ($restricted and ($db_userid ne $data[$auth_user_field]));

if ($delete_list{$data[$db_key_pos]}) { # if this id is one we want to delete
$delete_list{$data[$db_key_pos]} = 0; # then mark it deleted and don't print it to the new database.
if ($db_upload) {
opendir (GRAPHIC, "$SAVE_DIRECTORY") or &cgierr("unable to open directory in delete records: $SAVE_DIRECTORY. Reason: $!");
@files = readdir(GRAPHIC);
closedir (GRAPHIC);
$file_test = $data[$db_key_pos];
foreach $file (@files) {
if ($file =~ /^$file_test\./) {
unlink ("$SAVE_DIRECTORY/$file");
}
}
}
}
else { $output .= $line . "\n"; }
}
foreach $key (keys % delete_list) {
(There's an extra space in the last line above between the % and delete_list. Either don't copy and paste that line or be sure to remove the space.)

Re: File upload problems In reply to
well the paths i think hve me now
The program works and is writing my files and changing them to 1.jpg etc....
But the thing wont work if I make my paths like the following all I get is a blank screen.
It says you found 5 records but it does not show any records. Think my path is wrong. listingimages is a sub directory under my root and the notes say do not use a url so should my path be /listingimages ???


$SAVE_DIRECTORY = "/listingimages";
# Full URL to directory for uploaded files. No trailing slash please.
$SAVE_DIRECTORY_URL = "http://www.allen-pinckard.com/listingimages";

Your directory should be the full path to the directory, not a relative one.

As for getting a blank screen, I have my doubts this is caused by problems with the upload mod. Go back and check your page. View the source code and see if there is anything there at all. If there is, you probably have missed a closing table tag somewhere.

Oh, yeah!! I know how hard it is to track things down sometimes.

I'm glad you were able to work it out.

Take care.
