does someone know how to solve this?

thanks

Hi, marcink,

Sorry you're having problems. Are you on the latest SVN checkouts of both dataobject_manager and swfupload?

The best way to debug this is to activate SWFUploadConfig::debug() in your _config.php, and edit the function handleswfupload() in the FileDataObjectManager_Controller class. Add a die('hello'); to new lines of the function, starting at the top, and work your way down. If the function ran okay up until that point, you'll receive a "Server said 'hello'" message. If it didn't, you'll get the "There was a problem with your upload" message. Move it around until you pinpoint the exact line that is causing the error. It is almost always a PHP error that causes the problem.

Sorry it's such a pain. These errors used to happen all the time, but as more people use the module, we've been able to clean it up quite a bit. Report anything you find. Thanks.

On second look, a 406 error could be a little more difficult to troubleshoot. Looks like your server isn't accepting the headers being sent. Do you have any control over that? Is this a local installation?

no, it's a commercial host...
but i have a quiet good relationship with them... :)

i can also try to isolate swfupload, and run it on a subdomain without ss...

but i also try with the die() command.

thanks

i think, the error happens before the function handleswfupload() is called.
even if i put die("hello"); on the first line, i get the error.

I figured as much. You should ask your hosting provider to look at the error logs and find out why the headers are being rejected, and maybe have them add in an exception to get them allowed. I have to say, this is the first time I've heard of it, so whatever restriction needs to be lifted to allow the Flash headers can't be that big a security risk.

here the solution i got after asking the provider. maybe it helps someone as well.

i had to edit my .htaccess file and put:

SecFilterEngine Off

inside.

Perfect! Thank you for tracking that down. This is really good information to have.
