CoffeeCup - HTML Editor, Flash & Web Design Software

If someone tries to upload files and the forms stalls, this most likely is an Apache issue. You can determine this by looking in the access_logs and you will see something like this:

IPADDRESS--[25/Aug/2007:14:39:22 -0400] "POST /cc/coffee.php HTTP/1.1" 406 354 "-" "Adobe Flash Player 9"

(where IPADDRESS is the address the request came from)

The 406 error means your server is blocking it from uploading. It should say 200.

To fix this, create a .htaccess file containing the following code:

<IfModule mod_security.c>
SecFilterScanPOST Off
</IfModule>

You can create this file using Notepad (or any text editor) then select File > Save As. Choose "All Files (*.*)" for the "Files of Type" option, and name the file ".htaccess". If you already have a .htaccess file on the server, just add the above lines to the file. Once this has been uploaded to the folder containing your form files (swf, xml, php, html), refresh the page and all should work.

NOTE: Some ftp clients do not show files beginning with periods (.) or hidden files. Check your FTP Client's preferences to see if hidden files or files beginning with periods are displayed. Our DirectFTP and FreeFTP applications will automatically display these types of files.

Also, .htaccess has to be enabled on Apache. Most servers will have this enabled, but if not you will have to contact your provider.
