File Upload works but only for empty file

Good Day,

I can upload a file as long as it is empty (thanks Hendri Kurniawan).
I do not know where to look.

Can someone help me understand what I need to do to upload a small image.

Here is some more info http://chops.novatrope.com/info.php

Thanks,

upload_tmp_dir no value

It should take the systems default if nothing is set, but maybe there's
something wrong with it. Try to make a tmp dir, chmod 0766, set it as
upload_tmp_dir, and try again. If that doesn't work, maybe try 0777.

The rest of the values all seem OK.

UPLOAD_ERR_PARTIAL
Value: 3; The uploaded file was only partially uploaded.

So it indeed seems a write issue on the server side.

Oh, and if that doesn't work, please share the code with us. I can browse
http://chops.novatrope.com/game/test/, but I cannot see the code :-).

re: File Upload works but only for empty file

Thanks Rik,
I will tell you what I did but it does not seemed to have helped. I added
upload_tmp_dir = "/usr/tmp";
to my php.ini file
Then I restarted apache and tried to upload
and when I try to upload I get the infamous: Error: 3

Any more ideas I am all ears and eyes!

Thanks,
Arthur

Is /usr/tmp writable? What permissions do you have exactly?
Does the 'empty' file get uploaded to that location now?

And why does you php_info() still say "upload_tmp_dir no value no value"?
Have you edited /usr/local/etc/php.ini or another .ini file?

If that's all OK, what happens if you try to make a file with php itself in
/usr/tmp? Any errors?

And last but not least: what's the code you use?

I see now the permissions did not change, sorry, let me try again and I
will get back to you pronto:

echo '<pre>';
if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'], $uploadfile)) {

} else {

print "</pre>";

Sorry this is beyond me a little. I know var/tmp is not usr/tmp, but I
thought that "Stored in" may have been the temporary place where the
computer made the temporary file.

I have a tmp folder in root that has a file created today. I think
that is where the uploads are going but I am not sure.

Sorry I wish I was more help but all your help is appreciated!

Happy days are here again....
Good Day,

In case you run into this problem again have the person make sure their
var/log dir is not full. Mine was overflowing, and that was the whole
problem (my fault-no excuse). I want to thank you guys and gals for
your patience and help!

serene at last,
~arthur


We were getting close to the problem it had to do with the log files on
the server. On 2007-01-16 17:38:21 -0800, Arthur Jacobs
