Re: File upload fail on live server

Thanks Kenneth. I tried your recommendation, the file is not uploaded at all. I'm stumped by this, as the folder is writable by apache. I will post on here when I do implement a fix. On Thu, Dec 9, 2010 at 1:46 PM, Kenneth Gonsalves wrote: > On Thu, 2010-12-09 at 13:42 +0200,

Thanks Kenneth, am trying to figure out how to set the MEDIA_ROOT to the folder outside the project. On Thu, Dec 9, 2010 at 12:58 PM, Kenneth Gonsalves wrote: > On Thu, 2010-12-09 at 12:47 +0200, Sithembewena Lloyd Dube wrote: > > Is it proper/ feasible to save media to and

Re: File upload fail on live server

Issue isolated. The uploads are going into the MEDIA_ROOT, which is the 'media' folder in my app. The MEDIA_URL is pointing to a location outside of the project. Is it proper/ feasible to save media to and serve it from, a media folder outside of the project? On Thu, Dec 9, 2010 at 12:01 PM,

Re: File upload fail on live server

Hi Kenneth, The FileField is optional indeed. Surely it should be populated where a file is provided though? Update: turns out I have not installed the PIL on my staging server. Am doing so now and retesting. this may well turn out to be a PEBKAC :) Thanks. On Thu, Dec 9, 2010 at 11:46 AM,

Re: File upload fail on live server

File upload fail on live server

Hi guys, I have a form where I use a FileField to upload a file to the server and this works fine on my local machine. However, my live application fails to upload the file (ie the FileField is empty in the database after uploading, and the file is not uploaded). I know this is a pot shot, but
