XF 1.5 Flash uploader not working

Member
When uploading images using the flash uploader i get the following error:

"The following error occurred There was a problem uploading your file."

When i turn off the flash uploader it appears fine,

Can anyone point me in the right direction to find a fix for the flash uploader?
 
Which browser and OS?

Is it for any size file, or particularly large ones?

Does it work here on this site with the same browser, OS and file?
 
Yes its all members, i also have a couple of other strange things happening

- When editing posts - in wysiwyg mode when saving it appears to add bb code at the end of the post
upload_2016-4-7_17-13-16.webp

- When creating a new post - in Chrome only - i need to refresh the page to see the post box to write a new post.

Just upgraded to php 7, not sure if that has anything to do with it?
 
Im not getting any server errors in Xenforo,

but on on server i am getting the following error
attachments/do-upload.json" failed (2: No such file or directory),
"POST /xxxxx/attachments/do-upload.json?hash=5e0fb3c3de561e578d1e2ad01e92e289&content_type=post HTTP/1.1"
 
This is from Nginx error log:
2016/04/07 11:30:24 [error] 22142#0: *4354 open() "/var/www/html/overlandsphere/overland-forum/attachments/do-upload.json" failed (2: No such file or directory), client: 88.240.91.94, server: overlandsphere.com, request: "POST /overland-forum/attachments/do-upload.json?hash=5e0fb3c3de561e578d1e2ad01e92e289&content_type=post HTTP/1.1", host: "overlandsphere.com"
 
Is that error appearing every time, no matter the file?

That would seem to by implying that it's failing to open the connection to (presumably) your PHP-FPM server, which I presume you are connecting to using a socket. The "no such file or directory" message would likely be referring to the socket file.

If so, that's very bizarre and I have no idea why that would trigger for the Flash uploader. The error would be happening internal to Nginx, as PHP isn't even started then.
 
Honestly, I'm not sure. It's certainly not something I've seen before. (And we use Nginx without issue.)

Out of curiosity, what shows in the Nginx access log for the request? I'm curious what the response code is.

What version of Nginx are you using? What about PHP (in case this is some how related)? What's your PHP configuration in Nginx?
 
Hi Mike,

Thanks for helping with this,

I'm using:
PHP Version 7.0.5
Nginx 1.6.3

Attachments

A temporary fix appears to be to add the following rewrite rule:

location ~* /attachments/do-upload
{
try_files /overland-forum/index.php?attachments/do-upload.json?$args /overland-forum/index.php?$uri&$args;
}
 
It seems like that might imply that some rule is causing that URL to hit a different location block, since Nginx only triggers one per request. As a related example, I just noticed your RSS feeds don't work because this rule:
Code:
location ~* ^.+\.(ogg|ogv|svg|svgz|eot|otf|woff|mp4|ttf|rss|atom|jpg|jpeg|gif|png|ico|zip|tgz|gz|rar|bz2|doc|xls|exe|ppt|tar|mid|midi|wav|bmp|rtf)$ {
Which preempts this location block:
Code:
location /overland-forum/ {

I'm not seeing an obvious rule doing that in the zip you provided (which I only just noticed now), though I'm not sure if there are other config files being included (perhaps your local nginx.conf file, mentioned in default.conf).
