I'm unable to upload a file using django. When I hit submit button I get "This webpage is not available. The webpage at http://127.0.0.1:8000/results might be temporarily down or it may have moved permanently to a new web address." error in chrome.
For the file upload HTTP query the corresponding webserver's log entry is:
[02/Jul/2010 17:36:06] "POST /results HTTP/1.1" 403 2313
This is the form:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">

<body>
<div><img src="site-content/images/logo.jpg" /> </div>
<form name="myform" action="results" method="POST" ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data>
<div align="center">
<br><br>
<input type="file" size="25" name="queryImage">
<br><input type="submit" value="Search"><br>
</div>
</form>
</body>
entry in urls.py:
(r'^results$',upload_and_search),
view that handles the file upload:
def upload_and_search(request):
if request.method != 'POST' or request.FILES is None:
output = 'Some thing wrong with file uploading'
handle_uploaded_file(request.FILES['queryImage'])
output = 'success'
return HttpResponse(output)
def handle_uploaded_file(f):
destination = open('queryImage', 'wb+')
for chunk in f.chunks():
destination.write(chunk)
destination.close()
EDIT:
I've also tried changing the destination line destination = open('queryImage', 'wb+') to destination = open(os.environ['TMP']+'\\'+filename, 'wb+'). Its still giving the same error. Also the file I'm trying to upload is less than 2.5MB.
EDIT 2:
I've added a print statement in the first line of upload_and_search.Its not printing anything. i.e.. its not not even entering the function. I also checked if something is wrong with my url mapping by directly accessing the url http:// 127.0.0.1:8000/results. Its working fine. I think there is some problem with server configuration. I've no clue how to configure this server or what to configure. I'm stuck! I've no clue about what to do.
