Cannot Upload PDF file

[spoors]

I have received the following message when the system could not upload a PDF file from my PC:

* JFile::read: Unable to open file: ''
* Warning! - Failed to move file
* Error. Unable to upload file
* JFile::read: Unable to open file: ''
* Warning! - Failed to move file
* Error. Unable to upload file

As I am only uploading PDFs or Excel files this is a significant handicap. Does anyone have any clues? I have set the max upload size to unlimited and PDFs are an allowed file type. Tom

Hi, check your permissions and ownership of files and folder, try to enable ftp layer, see:

Jan, Thank you again for your advice. I have been uploading PDF files and have found that below a certain size (currently 100K) there is no problem. So permissions are not the problem! I will now check if there is a size limit (although I have set unlimited on my system) or whether the audio/visual content of the PDF is somehow causing an issue (unlikely, but you never know). Tom

Hi

This may help others. I had the same error and it turned out to be the upload_max_filesize in the php.ini file.

For the record ftp layer did not need to be activated, but I only tested the back-end upload.

You can find out what yours is set to by going to HELP>System info in the back-end.

thank you for this info. Jan
