[imp] Attachments fail, uploads don't (was: All but attachments)

[Joost De Cock]

Hi there,

I've haven't been able to get attachments to work.
I've been working on this for a while now, and I've checked everything Eric
told me to.

I've used the example scripts on the php site to create my own little upload
page, and I can upload any file (as long as it isn't too big) 

However, if I want to attach a file in IMP, I still receive that annoying
error message.

Is there a way to see the real error message, does anybody has an idea, and
where is the attachment functionality located in the source, maybe I can
check it out.


Anything is more than welcome, 'cause I'm running out of ideas

Joost

How so?  Check, and for some try changing, the values for:

max_execution_time
file_uploads
upload_tmp_dir
upload_max_filesize
post_max_size
memory_limit
safe_mode

Check the output of phpinfo() (from the /horde/test.php page) and see if
the reported values for file_uploads, upload_tmp_dir, and
upload_max_filesize
are what you expect or not.

Make sure the web server user can write to and delete from the directory
named in upload_tmp_dir.  Make sure the value of $conf['tmpdir'] in
horde/config/horde.php is what you want it to be and is specified correctly.

Then check all your log files for any clues.

Try uploading a file via IMP, and at the same time monitoring your 
upload_tmp_dir to see if anything goes there at all.

If none of that helps, then good luck!

"TAD (Technology Attachment Disorder) is an unshakable, impractical devotion
to a brand, platform, product line, or programming language. It's relatively
harmless among the rank and file, but when management is afflicted the
damage
can be measured in dollars. It's also contagious -- someone with sufficient
political clout can infect an entire organization."
