Re: Witango-Talk: file upload [again!]
Re my corrupted image uploads: I'm on a new cable broadband connection that I think has a few Proxy-related problems. So last night I setup a dial-up connection, and guess what? Files uploaded OK...

Re: Witango-Talk: file upload [again!]
But Picture Viewer displays any properly saved jpeg doesn't it? And jpegs saved in a CMYK format show up in sepia with lines going horizontally down the image don't they? That doesn't sound like what Nicholas was describing. Can you open the supposedly corrupt images up in Photoshop Nicholas? And if so what format are they in and how are they saved?

Re: Witango-Talk: file upload [again!]
Thanks to Garth Penglase, and Robert Garcia's download site, I now have Tango 3.63 - and the good news is that uploads now complete The bad news is that all the uploads (JPEGS) are corrupted in some way! I have verified that the same files transferred to the server another way (Timbuktu) are OK. So it seems likely that the upload process is what's corrupting them It's typical JPEG corruption - IE will open the files and they have blocks of colour and shifted parts of the image. Pictureviewer won't display them The images were uploaded from Mac OS 9.2.2 via cable broadband to the Webstar 4 server (on OS 9.1) using Tango 3.63. Any ideas?

Re: Witango-Talk: file upload [again!]
Nicholas, Up until just recently I was using 3.52 as well so it does work. However, go to RObert Garcia's site http://public.bighead.net and download the 3.6 then the 3.6n upgrade, installing them in that order. 3.62 supports a couple of tags that 3.52 doesn't and is better from what I've been told. But 3.52 was the version that I was talking about, not 3.6 - my mistake. Garth At 12:31 2/10/02, you wrote: > > > try the ASP file upload on Ben's Goodie page.

Yes, I've tested my setup with 100k+ files and it works without a problem.

try the ASP file upload on Ben's Goodie page. It integrates nicely with Tango and Witango and is very reliable. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Wayne Irvine Sent: Tuesday, October 01, 2002 7:05 PM To: Multiple recipients of list witango-talk Subject: Re: Witango-Talk: file upload [again!] > The only clue I can give is that images less than > around 30K seem to work OK, despite resetting ItemBufferSize and restarting > Webstar I remember that the first versions of Tango 3 (that we bought for it's upload ability) couldn't upload files greater than 32K.

Re: Witango-Talk: file upload [again!]
I have a machine runing T3.6 with Webstar 1.32 on Mac OS 7.6.1 which ran an Aldi Superstores site created in Tango for over 2 years (until they recently centralised all their web in Germany). Each week 14 new images ranging in size up to 50k were loaded up via a Tango file upload mechanism which worked very reliably... Except when my clients started using IE on the Mac on an ADSL connection which proxied everything. I found that the pages coming from the server were being cached and eveytime they tried to upload they would suffer similar results as what you are experiencing. Eventually, because I didn't want to recode the app to create new pages with entirely new URLS each time accessed, I simply told them to use Netscape and turn off page caching - they never had this problem again. I did have a problem with the Tango server right in the beginning, but I solved that by increasing Webstar's (i am using the Tango plugin) app memory. A incresae of emeory size and a restart of the server and everything worked fine from then on. On my server it is set to a fairly short variable timeout of a couple of minutes, but the buffer size has been left at 64k I'm pretty sure - I'll check it.

Witango-Talk: file upload [again!]
Back to a well-worn topic: I'm doing file upload in Tango 3.6 with unpredicatable results Files are uploaded and named according to the advert they're attached to, but the upload fails repeatedly with files of zero K uploaded I looked through my Tango Talk archives, reset the ItemBufferSize up to 300,000, and the problem seemed to go away.. But now, instead of a file being uploaded of zero K, and a bad filename, I now get a good filename and a zero K file... The debug screen shows the raw JPEG code, but the file isn't uploaded and the filename created is OK The error message is: [Warning] Missing argument: image Any ideas what's going on? The only clue I can give is that images less than around 30K seem to work OK, despite resetting ItemBufferSize and restarting Webstar Tango 3.6, Webstar 4.x on Mac OS 9.1 The file name is a combination of a User variable and a file number suffix from a popup menu on the upload page: File Action: <@VAR WebRoot SCOPE=Domain>:<@VAR uploadpathname SCOPE=Domain>:<@VAR advertnumber SCOPE=User>.<@ARG imagenumber>.jpg The Upload page code is: First image Second image Third image Fourth image File to upload: TO UNSUBSCRIBE: send a plain text/US ASCII email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe witango-talk in the message body
