Not able to up-load in Workshop

Ztex

Ken,

I was trying to load some photos today and after I navigate to find my pics and click OK, everything under the Upload Queue shows like this....

Server (IO) Error

...and then then they all disappear and nothing is in the Manage Photos side...

Tried a couple of times today.

Thanks,

Zane

Zane, I just tried to upload 4 separate sets of photos through the workshop and I didn't recieve an error.

: I did have a problem sending some an acknowledgement for a profile I corrected a couple days back, but it was my computer that was corrupt. I haven't had a problem with "Upload"

Was the file size correct?

Walt,

Yeah, all was as normal. Same size as always. I tried one and then several, all had the same reaction. I was able to manually load a photo with the New Aircraft Photo button with no problems.

I have seen a few Unable to connect to server screens in the past few days but those were short lived...a few minutes at most.

I will try on another machine and see what happens.

Thanks

I have recently been getting the same Error Message-Cannot connect to server-try again later-when attempting to edit some older photo captions; but edit function works fine on new uploads.

I checked Zane's upload folder, it looks fine.

Doug, is the problem you were experiencing repeatable? If it is , please send me a photo ID which cause this problem.

Ken

Well I tried uploading from a different computer and it works.

What would cause one machine to do this all of the sudden..I have up loaded many many from that machine...and wham...no worky.... : : computers...

Ken,

If it happens again on an older photo edit-I will send you the photo ID. Multiple tries (even later) give same resulting message.

Hello Ken

I'm trying to add new airframe data. I key in all the info including the confirmation code press continue to step 2 and the get the response "Server had a temporary error, please try again later." I had the same response yesterday.

I have never has a problem before.

"Server had a temporary error, please try again later."

I encountered this problem a few days ago, I just closed the tab and tried again with no problems

This message shows up when the database server experience an error while executing a statement. Sometime it's caused by the server itself, sometime the info user has entered, For example, in a few cases, single quote (') may cause an issue.

Thanks chaps.

Seems like the problem, which Ken highlighted, was caused by the apostrophe in the manufacturer's name i.e. O'Sullivan.

Here's a screen shot of an example of what's happening to me...

It's just on the one machine...so...who knows.

DougRobertson

Ken, I have confirmed the Server Error I noted above is caused by an apostrophe in the caption that fails to upload the photo and data ONLY on a RE-EDIT of an older photo. New uploads with an apostrophe in the caption upload OK for me. Strange?

Sounds like a failure to sanitize the string before doing the SQL UPDATE -- that's exploitable by script kiddies and should be fixed ASAP.

Doug, I suspect if you input two single quotes, you'll get the desired result.

Exactly. I will fix it.

Can you provide the info you entered while you edit the photo? I checked the code and everything looks fine. Apostrophes in photographer name and photo description are properly handled.

Zane, are you using same image file or different ones? Does the error happen right after you click "upload" or after a while?

Ken

Ztex

Ken,

It has happened on different files. Single files or multiple. I have tried from an external HD and from the desktop. I've tried edited files and unedited files. It happens immediately after I hit the Upload Photos button. The screen looks like my screen capture for 5-6 seconds ans the the file name and error notice disappear.

But only on this machine....I have tried it on two other machines and all is ok...so I'm guessing it's a local problem...but I can't imagine what it is...

It might be caused by the flash software on that computer. The upload tool is based on flash, javascript and HTML. Try update related software (Adboe Flash Player). Or you might want to try a different browser. Just a wild guess but worth a shot.
