Question:

Upload ActiveX - upload to virtual server

Jan 19 '15 at 04:28

Hi there

I am using your Freeware Upload compoment. It works fine uploading to my production server (Apache/PHP) but I cannot get it work when I upload to a local virtual server (www.servername.com/~test)

Any ideas please

Thanks

Nigel

Answer

Hi Nigel,

Can you post a small snippet of code, and the contents of the LastErrorText property (in <pre></pre> tags) as they are returned immediately after the first failing call to the Upload component?

Also are you sure that www.servername.com/~test is pointing to the local virtual server and that calls from a local browser are successfully going to the local server?

Answer

Also, does the component work as expected if you try against the local server by IP address instead of host name?

Hi

Log below which was captured after calling BlockingUpLoad()

All other previous calls to the component give 

ChilkatLog:
--ChilkatLog

upload works if I use domain (www.myserver.com) or ip address (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx)

I have a virtual server www.myserver.com/~virtual but cannot upload to it

Code snip 

Dim upload As New ChilkatUpload
upload.hostname = "xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx"
Msgbox2 upload.LastErrorText
upload.Path = "/php/cs_fileupload.php"
Msgbox2 upload.LastErrorText
Dim f$


Dim Tot&
Count& = 0
Dim Success As Long


'Add one or more files to be uploaded.
   Call upload.AddFileReference("file1[]", mSYS.DirectoryData & "pvt1.sys")
   Msgbox2 upload.LastErrorText
'  Do the upload.  The method returns when the upload
'  is completed.
'  This component also includes asynchronous upload capability,
'  which is demonstrated in another example.


Success = upload.BlockingUpload()
If (Success <> 1) Then
    Msgbox2 upload.LastErrorText
Else
Dim x%
x = TOpenFile("c:ERRORV.TXT", "O", 1, 1)
Print #x, upload.LastErrorText
Close #x
    Msgbox2 upload.LastErrorText
    Msgbox2 upload.ResponseStatus


End If

Answer

Is the return code from BlockingUpload 0? or something else? I ask because the LastErrorText indicates Success as far as I can tell.

Also, I see you aren't using the latest version of the Chilkat library, can you try again with 9.5.0.46 and see if it works? It might be a bug that has already been fixed.

Answer

Hi

Return code is 1 whether I upload to www.mysever.com or www.myserver.com/~virtualhost

I will download and install the latest version Thanks

Answer

Hi

I have downloaded and registered the newer verion. One question...

I am currently using several chilkat components in my project and have all the relevant components ticked in references.

Do I need to remove them from my project and check the reference to the newly installed DLL (which is shown)

Thanks

Answer

I have installed the newer version I have deselected the Upload component from references I have selected the new all-in-one-dll

The problem still persists, I cannot upload to my virtual server's Upload folder (works fine for the actual domain)

Answer

Thanks for your help on this. I think the issue is with the configuration of sub domains / virtual servers on my server box.

I am moving the app to a hosted company, so should be able to check functionality once installed

thank you for your support
