Problem uploading files in Alf 3.2

[gvillaran]

Hi, i just installed Alf 3.2 community edition in a Windows 2003 Server box, installation was fine and i can access the share site,
but i cant upload any file, im new to this program and i dont know where to look, i was looking at alfresco.log but it doesnt show anything when
i try to upload a file, is just the screen that says "fail" when i try to upload a file.

anyone could help me out to resolve this?

thanks in advance

Are you accessing the server by https?

Are you accessing the server by https?

I have a similar problem and I am using https. http is disabled on the server.
Is there a way to solve the problem except from enabling http again?

Hi,
please refine, what you mean by "I cant upload". One known issue in the past was, that with certain constellations of Firefox, Windows XP and Alfresco, the ajax components in the documentlibraries where not displayed (the contents, the buttons "upload" & "create folder".

Several people had this problem, but the solution for this is unknown to me, just that it has disappeared by now. maybe due to a plugin-update on my side, maybe something else. You can check out the online trial community. I could reproduce this behaviour there as well, meaning it is a client problem, not one on alfresco-installation side.

I'm not really sure that this addresses your problems, but you might want to give it a try:

There's a problem with self-signed certificates and using the flash upload function in Firefox. The problem is that Firefox stores certificates in a repository of its own, but Flash looks in a system-wide location for certificates.

This means that even if you accept the certificate in Firefox, Flash will only see that the certificate is self-signed, but not that it has been accepted by the user and therefore the upload will fail. The simple workaround to this is to open the website in IE (or Safari in OS X) to get the certificate stored where Flash will find it.
