IO error in flash uploader

[literakl]

Hi, we have upgraded to 2009 release this week. I tried flash uploader, but it failed with IO error (no details). Classical uploader works. What can be wrong?

[literakl]

Does it work for everybody? Has anybody idea, what is wrong and how to fix it?

[literakl]

Ok, different question: does it work for anybody?

Works for me. Did you upgrade it manually on your 8.08 release? You have to revert that if you upgraded...

I see a similar problem on our installation. It is a fresh installation (MindTouch Core v.9.02.2) on a debian host. The flash uploader never uploads any of the selected files. But I can't see any error message.

Cheers, Walter

@waltera: Do uploads with the standard uploader work?

[waltera]

Hi crb, yes, the standard uploader works for a file at a time. Same as for literakl. Could it be a problem of flash on Linux? Firefox 3.5, Shockwave flash 9.0 r159. Thanks for you efforts.

I did some more testing with different Linuxes (Ubuntu 9.0, Opensuse 10.3 and 11.1) different Firefoxes (3.01 and 3.5) and different flash versions: same problem with the flash uploader. Then I fired up an XP virtualbox I have lying around and it worked properly. So my conclusion is that it is a Linux + flash problem. Most of our users (students) use Linux, so it is a real problem here. Have to use the less powerfull classic uploader. Cheers!

waltera, perhaps you could file a bug for this issue? Thanks!

[literakl]

I think that this is either related to flash version or server instance. We experienced this issue on both windows and linux clients, mindtouch is installed on linux server.
