PHP upload...

jlasman

I suppose I should first apologize for posting again when this seems to have been covered twice in the last two days.

However, I'm NOT a php programmer; only an admin, and I can't figure out from the previous posts what to tell our client (except to look here).

We're moving sites from a Cobalt RaQ4 to a Red Hat Linux 7.3 / Plesk 5.0.5-based server, and we're having a problem with PHP refusing to do file uploads. Any help will be appreciated...

The programmer has set up two tests... the working one is at "http://www.provincetown.com/test/upload_test.php" and the nonworking one is at "http://provincetown.nobaloney.net/test/upload_test.php".

You may view the upload_test.php file as test/upload_test.php.txt (it's the same on both machines).

PHP information for each machine may be found for the working machine at "http://www.provincetown.com/test/phpinfo.php" and for the nonworking machine at "http://provincetown.nobaloney.net/test/phpinfo.php".

Copies of the php.ini files are also available to look at, for the working system at "http://www.provincetown.com/test/php.ini.txt" and for the nonworking system at "http://provincetown.nobaloney.net/test/php.ini.txt.

Thanks for any help you can give me in making this work.

I can't get to the source code. It seems your server is still parsing it as PHP code. Can you make it a .phps, so it'll be source, rather than a .txt?

It sounds like a register_globals issue, but both servers have register_globals on. If I can see the source, I might be more able to diagnose the problem.

I had trouble trying .phps; it also parsed as code rather than source.

So I decided to cut and paste it into a reply. In doing that I had to change the line endings.

It turned out the programmer had copied it into the system with M (whaterver that is... it shows up in my text editor as an underlined capital "M") instead of carriage returns.

So I reformatted it with carriage returns instead (using "joe", my linux editor of choice).

Now it works fine.

The improperly formatted file worked fine on a Cobalt RaQ, but the Plesk server required a properly formatted file.

Thanks for the help; even though you didn't come up with the answer, I might never have found it if you didn't have problems reading the source 🙂 .
