Hi All,I cannot upload content to a documentLibrary in a site. It fails but does not give me any error message in the logs. I am using 32 community on windows XP after doing a full alfresco install. Running java version 1.6.0_11. If I use alfresco explorer app it has no problem uploading content

Do you have OpenOffice, pdf2swf and ImageMagick installed and configured correctly on the server? Look for warnings during the startup sequence.

Thanks,
Mike

I had the same problem the moment I switched to HTTPS. Is your site reachable with http or https? If you use a selfsigned http-certificate, it seems, that you have to import them into the Windows Certificate-Store.

This was a weird one, I found I can upload content if I use firefox. IE 6 is still giving me the problem though.

Very weird indeed.

I couldn't upload with FF3.5+ but with IE8… 😉

It's a known bug in Flash - it's doesn't support https sessions except in IE. It's not something Adobe seem willing to fix. There have been some workarounds posted on these forums, including manually adding the certificate to the trusted root store (I forget the exact details).

The plugin doesn't support UNTRUSTED https Certificates. https sessions with trusted certificates are no problem.
A very good howto can be found on http://wiki.cacert.org/BrowserClients.

Works for me…

I have had problems with some of my users who have tried to upload content in Opera (most recently, 9.64)
The problem seems to depend on the file they are trying to upload, as it's intermittent but consistent for any particular file.
Nothing appears in the log, it just fails with an orange "failure" message. I'm guessing the request is rejected before it gets near the repository.
