MG 1.1 Uploads work on Mobile but, not Desktop browsers

[John71]

Hi, I'm just starting to use my installation and I can upload images via my Smartphone (Google Chrome) browser (non-flash uploader). On my Desktop I'm using the fancy flash uploader and it shows the image uploading (with the percent) but, when it goes to 100% and appears it is finished, it says sends message window "Error: Their was a problem uploading your image" with the filename below.

I saw checked several messages but, still not sure what the fix or issue may be?

Is your forum currently behind password protection? Flash has issues with that in some scenarios.

 

[John71]

I am not sure. How would I know this or find out?

 

[Chris D]

If it's for the site assigned to your license, then it isn't password protected, so don't worry about that.

Does the error happen on all images uploaded via a desktop browser? Even ones that are small, in size?

After the error happens, bring up the browser console (In Chrome this is F12, then clicking on the Console tab). Are there any errors shown here? If so, what are they?

 

[John71]

Hi Chris, I tried recreating the error in Chrome and it worked fine. Then uploaded it in FireFox and the error occurred again.

You can use the FF console tab to check for errors.
It's F12 to activate it.

I believe that implies it's returning a 406 error, which is "not acceptable". I believe that will be related to mod_security. Your host should have logs that will identify the rule that was triggered. They can add the necessarily whitelist for this. (We have seen this a couple times before, though not for some time.)

Solved. Thank you for the great support. Made this allot easier to deal with.
