 |

I am the web librarian for a public library and we have had a Coldfusion/IIS setup for our web page until recently when we had to migrate to Apache for our library catalog. I was excited for Apache as IIS does have it's limitations. We've had everything up and working great for a while now but this week, I need to set up a form so our patrons can upload an image for a contest.
With IIS/Coldfusion, I used enctype="multipart/form-data" on the form page and on the action page I used cffile action="upload" to a folder not under the document root.
This set up isn't working under Apache. All I get when I try to upload an image is a blank screen. There is no error. The error log shows no error and the regular log has a 500 error for the page. When I remove the enctype and the cffile the rest of my form posts to the database just fine so I'm thinking that Apache isn't allowing the file upload.
At this point I am totally frustrated, I've looked at the web-dav module and adding that module doesn't seem to make a difference (maybe I haven't set it up correctly). What am I missing here?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
I am running Apache 2.2, Coldfusion 9 on a Windows 2008 server.
Thanks for your help |

Well a short upload tester
| Code: |
Here is a simple example (with absolutely no error handling). You will just
need to change the directory/datasource/tablename values.
<!---- page 1 --->
<form action="yourActionPage.cfm" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="file" name="userFile">
<input type="submit">
</form>
<!---- yourActionPage.cfm --->
<!--- change the directory to your path --->
<cffile action="upload" filefield="form.userFile"
destination="c:\yourFileDirectory">
<!--- change datasource, table names etc...--->
<cfquery name="storeFileName" datasource="#yourDSN#">
INSERT INTO yourTable (FileName)
VALUES ('#CFFILE.serverFileName#')
</cfquery>
<!--- display results --->
<cfoutput>
<b>File uploaded!: </b> #CFFILE.serverFileName#
</cfoutput>

Thanks for the code snippet. I get the same result using this snippet. All I get is a blank screen. If I remove "enctype="multipart/form-data"" the action page process with an error.
I think the problem is with Apache and the enctype. It doesn't seem to go any further than that.
Thanks again. |

| What if you have the enctype, but not the input type file? |
