Rob is having Image upload issues

[ade]

Hi Paul,
Rob in Totnes is creating a blog post and is getting an error whilst trying to upload an image. Initially I thought it could have been a harddrive full issue, but we can see that we have drive room.
Sam and I have had a quick look to see if anything obvious, but we are now stumbling a bit. We can replicate the issue by trying to upload an image to a blog post, but cannot see where to find an event log to see if any logs are being generated that may aid in a diagnosis. Could you have a look and let us know your thoughts please? Rob is currently waiting to post a blog so is quite urgent.

Many thanks
Ade

Hi Ade,

Would you let me know what errors you're receiving or maybe post a screenshot ?

The database logs are disabled on the production site.

Can you reproduce the problem on my stage site?

Best, Paul

By the way, the Cc field simply needs the Trac username, in this case paul rather than a full email address, there is a list of usernames on the front page of this site to make it easy to find them, wiki:WikiStart#Tracusernames

Drupal logging (dblog) was switched from logging to the database to logging to the server syslog and then switched off entirely, if I remember correctly, on transitionnetwork.org some years ago, the reason might be found in a ticket somewhere or perhaps it was on the Ttech list, sorry I don't recall the exact reason for that decision, it wasn't mine.

Hi all.

Any progress on this one? Rob is keen to get a new post out and has asked me to check up on progress. I thought we had a workaround (embedding Flickr images temporarily, but actually that won't work because he needs a featured image, which we can't hotlink)

Chris can you confirm that no permissions changes/ maintenance has happened at server level recently that could have impacted image upload?

As an aside Ade & I enabled the dblog module & set it to log the last 100 records. Hopefully this won't break anything! If it does we'll turn it off again.

Thanks

Sam

Hi Chris

We had a look at the /files directory which has drwxrwsr -x Is that what you'd expect?

A Google turned this up: ​https://www.drupal.org/node/2177315

Not sure if it's relevant.

Thanks

Sam

Good to hear that the problem can be duplicated on the dev server, I'll have a play with uploading images on there and try to track down the issue.

[chris]

I also get "Upload failed" when uploading from this URL ​https://booker-stage-20141120.transitionnetwork.org/imce?app=tinymce|url%40src I don't know how to upload a featured image, the failed uploads I have tried are not logged but I can see that some Paul has tried are.

I can't see anything in the Nginx error log, I can't see anything in the HTTP headers when an upload is attempted:

Locating where the staging site is on the server:

./home/tn.ftp/.drush/booker-stage-20141120.transitionnetwork.org.alias.drushrc.php

Looking in /data/disk/tn/clients/tnusers/booker-stage-20141120.transitionnetwork.org/settings.php we have:

  $conf['file_directory_path'] = 'sites/booker-stage-20141120.transitionnetwork.org/files';
  $conf['file_directory_temp'] = 'sites/booker-stage-20141120.transitionnetwork.org/private/temp';

The files directory permissions:

drwxrwsr-x 977 tn www-data 236K Feb 19 11:44 files/

And the private/temp permissions:

drwxrwsr-x 2 tn www-data 4.0K Feb 19 13:34 temp/

These look OK to me, but making them more permissive for testing:

chmod o+w files
chmod o+w private/temp

Still get "Upload failed" so changing the permissions back:

chmod o-w files
chmod o-w private/temp

I don't know what to suggest I try next apart from looking at what BOA options there are...

[sam]

Just looking at this old thread: ​/trac/ticket/755

I see php.ini was implicated in that one. Is there a total file storage setting in php.ini we are exceeding? Or does it only set per-upload limits?

Groping in the darkness..

Cheers

Things that have changed since the last successful site update (13/02)

DNS has been moved from United to Google
Puffin and Penguin Debian security updates

looking at ​https://booker-

stage-20141120.transitionnetwork.org/imce?app=tinymce|url%40src has the tinymce|url%40src changed at all or could it have been effected by the DNS change?

Adding more wood to the trees...

The 100MB max upload is per POST, there are not PHP based file storage limits as far as I'm aware. I have increased the max files per user from 140MB to 250MB.

Email was moved from United to Google, the DNS servers have't changed, they are still with Gandi.

Puffin and Penguin Debian security updates

Perhaps, but BOA has it's own PHP, it doesn't use Debian PHP, I can't think of any update that could have had an impact on Drupal -- this issue does appear to be at an application level to me (Drupal) but it might be a php-fpm issue perhaps, I doubt it is an Nginx issue and the web server simply passes all PHP requests to php-fpm.

[chris]

Two things I can try are running the BOA updater, ​https://github.com/omega8cc/boa/blob/master/docs/UPGRADE.txt (thing might install a new PHP and will result in permissions checks etc being run) and perhaps rebooting the server, but these will result in some downtime, especially the reboot as the BOA firewall takes a long time to load, perhaps 10 mins and there might be an automatic filesystem check which could also take a while.

I'll run the BOA updater now.

So, we now have new versions of MySQL, Ngnix and PHP... I also applied the two fixes for Munin, wiki:PuffinServer#Muninconfigchanges and wiki:PuffinServer#nginxconfigchanges

And I have uploaded an image without an error, see the "restricted boots" image at the top of this article:

• ​https://booker-stage-20141120.transitionnetwork.org/news/2014-04-30/john-bell-bedfordshire-transition-groups-recent-get-together

So I'm none the wiser regarding the exact cause of this problem but it appears to be resolved on the dev site -- can someone test it on the live site please?

Many thanks for looking into this Chris, shame we didn't pinpoint the error, but that its back up and running is a massive bonus.

Many thanks to your self and Paul..(sorry for the holiday interruption Paul..)
