CGI.pm File Upload doesn't work (blocks) on my Server (but workson my Desktop)
Hello,
my script handles file uploads (using CGI.pm) fine on my Windows Desktop (with Apache 1.3.28), but it seems to hang on my Linux Server (debian, Apache 1.3.26). I think it is actually never called, as I don't get any logging output, either. What coud be wrong? I've checked that /temp can be written to by anyone, but other than that, I have no idea. Other scripts in the same directory and with the same permissions work fine. Many thanks in advance for any ideas!

I'll try to create a simple script that reproduces my problem and that I can post. Bjoern -- Let's not weep for their evil deeds, but for their lack of imagination (Nick Cave) |

Posting code would be a good start. OK, made a short version now, and it seems as if CGI.pm is not at fault. I don't think the script is even ever called, as even if I point the upload form to a non-existant script, it still blocks forever. So you'll probably tell me to go away.

If you think that you don't primarily have a Perl language problem here, you're probably right. If you think that you'd get a better answer to your HTML authoring and/or web server configuration problems on a more appropriate group, you'd probably be right. If you think that we don't care whether you succeed or not, you're probably wrong. We _do_ like to see folks getting good results, but we're happier when we see them going about it in the right way.

The regulars hate that. It's demeaning for a human being to be asked to do the job of a machine. I don't see anything obvious that leaps out at me. What you've omitted to tell us is what you observed when you tried it. Take a look at those guidelines - use strict and warnings - in this context I'd also recommend making use of CGI::Carp to get any diagnostics back to the browser while testing (take it out again before opening the web site to the public - no need to expose internal details to hackers...) good luck |

[...] OK, the problem cause is really embarrassing: apparently my desktop computers firewall (Kerio) was blocking the file uploads. I still don't know why, because it let's other http requests pass, but at least I can test my script by temporarily disabling the firewall. So it wasn't perl-related after all. But for completeness sake I wanted to post the solution here anyway, in case somebody with a similiar problem is searching the archives.

I was asked to post code, and in the guidelines I just found: "First make a short (less than 20-30 lines) and complete program that illustrates the problem you are having. People should be able to run your program by copy/pasting the code from your article.". Or is it that the #!/usr/bin/perl doesn't belong into the script? Just trying to understand? Sorry I didn't read the guidelines beforehand, but it isn't obvious to look for 'guidelines', I only searched for the faq. Thanks for all the helpful replies!
