Flashblocks Flash CMS Component
(Flash Content Management System)

I'm having problems with the file upload not working on a Verio server. Everything has been fine in development - on a different host - but once the site was transferred over to Verio the problems began.

I'm unable to upload any type of file using the file manager. This doesn't seem to be an OS issue as it's been tested on both a Mac (OSX 10.4.11) and a PC running XP, nor does it seem to be browser related as it's been tried with Safari, Firefox, IE and Opera.

I've implemented the alternative file upload script hoping that it may fix the problem, but without any success. The .htaccess fix hasn't worked either and caused a server error.

When attempting to upload a file I get the message:
"Missing a temporary folder.
Sorry, there was a problem uploading your file."

The folders exist on the server and I have tried creating a new one with the file manager before trying to upload files into it. No luck.

Having scoured the forum and looked at this:
http://markshu.ca/imm/flash/tutorial/fileReference.html
it looks like there's an issue with the temporary directory created by the browser before the file is sent to the server.

If I FTP files I can see them in the file manager and manage them no problem, but this isn't really an option for the client.

I'd welcome any help with this as I need to determine if it can be fixed or whether a new host is needed.

I would ask your hosting provider about this and the missing temp folder. I am sure you have already checked directory permissions and even tried setting to 777. Also, if you do find an upload script that does work it is rather simple to integrate it into Flashblocks using the technique found with the alternate upload script.
