swfupload failing in my django runserver

Question

Hi All,

I have copied and pasted the code from http://demo.swfupload.org/v220/simpledemo/ into a django template, but when I upload a photo, the demo says "Server (IO) Error" before it actually uploads the entire file. The runserver is getting the request and returning a 200. Is there something I am missing here? What steps should I take to debug?

Thanks, Collin Anderson

Answer 1

Make sure you have write permission to your server. In the folder you installed that thing. Check the user that is running runserver. If in windows - check folder is not readonly.

Answer 2

Found it. I was uploading to a dummy view, and for some reason if you don't actually access request.POST or request.FILES it gives that error message.
