Uploaded files from PHP app are dissapearing on new ubuntu server


Does any one know which log to look at on a ubuntu server of this type of problem. I edited the PHP.ini to allow files larger than 2M.

upload_max_filesize = 1024MB
upload_tmp_dir = no value
user_dir = no value
post_max_size = 1024MB

Before I made changes to php.ini I was getting a file not found errors. Now the PHP app seems to send the file but I cant find it any were on the server. I have set the /var/www/vault/vwdmo directory to 777
with chmod 777 vwdmo.

drwxrwxrwx 2 synchro synchro 4096 2009-03-27 14:30 vwdmo

I use PHPrunner4.2 to generate the code it work on Red Hat 4 but I need to get it to work on Ubuntu 5.2.6

Thanks for any help.

  • Explicitly set the upload temp directory (you can do this in php.ini or apache)
  • If you use open_basedir, make sure the upload temp directory is included.
  • Use PHP to echo information from the $_FILES array about the temporary path of the file -- confirm it is what you expect.

- And check Apache's error & access logs, and any PHP log that might be configured in php.ini.

Need more info

I made the chnge to php.ini. I set the temp dir to /var/tmp. I still have the same problem. The php application generate a "Record was added" message but never moves the file to any directory. It supose to go to the /var/www/valut/vwdmo directory. I am realy unclear on how to the system to generate an error I look. I could not find a log for php or apache. where are these log files?

// move files
if(!$error_happened)
{
foreach ($files_move as $file)
{
move_uploaded_file($file[0],$file[1]);
if(strtoupper(substr(PHP_OS,0,3))!="WIN")
@chmod($file[1],0777);
}
$message="<div class=message><<< "."Record was added"." >>></div>";
if($usermessage!="")
$message = $usermessage;

Exclamation

Read the first four links at http://us3.php.net/features.file-upload

Especially important is the second link, http://us3.php.net/manual/en/feature...oad.errors.php

To debug your code, you need to use the information from the $_FILES array

Until your code includes comparisons with at least the UPLOAD_ERR_OK constant, you're probably not dealing with the PHP file upload status.

When uploads fail in PHP, they won't necessarily generate warnings or errors, but do read about those file upload errors (examples are provided). Doing this should help provide more information about your problem.
