Summary16341: Admin file upload does not work
Description

Uploading files to a survey do not work.

Files are left to upload/surveys/ with filenames like 123456foobar.jpg where 123456 is the number of the survey and foobar.jpg is the name of the file. I suppose that somehow a directory separator is dropped.

Additional Information

A user noticed this in RHEL8-based version 4.2.4 and I suppose it is was working in previous version we used.

To test I installed clean 4.2.5 to an Ubuntu machine without SELinux and just said chmod a+rwx limesurvey, and tested as superadmin. Same result.

TagsNo tags attached.

The filename is your only problem? Does it work to download the files through the admin interface?

Sorry for being unclear (again). The problem is exactly when uploading files as admin of survey. From a survey admin viewpoint a file just vanishes without any warning or error message.

Which type of file?

I tested this with jpg, png and pdf, and so suppose that the file type is not an issue here.

As this is quite important to our users, I would like to see any kind of workaround, temporary solution etc.

I can only recommend to use LimeSurvey 3.

Nearly impossible to use LS 3 for surveys that are already almost done. :( Too much manual work to remove LS4-only -features from .lsq or .lss.

I think you can export surveys as tab-separated files and import them in LS3. But yes, for running surveys it will be hard.

16352 is a duplicate of this with a patch. (And, maybe, another error seen after adding the patch.)

Not fixed. I just downloaded 4.2.8+200608 and did a clean install. I tested on Ubuntu with permissions a+rwx, and just creating one survey and clicking resources gives "An error has happened and no files could be located".

If I manuall create a directory upload/surveys/NNNNNN, then the file manager flashes for a half of second and then disappears.

Ah, well, we'll release 4.4 today (or this week), and we've reverted the file manager to LS3 in this version, which should resolve your issue.

I have opened the ticket once more - we decided not to revert now in 4.3, but we will do it in 4.4 (that will be released in ~8 weeks). There are some issues that need to be ironed out.

In my test this now works in private browsing -- i.e. the user must clear cookies or browser cache or something. Also this works in a LS 4.3.0 updated with ComfortUpdate from older version.

@Jmantysalo , is the behaviour stable in 4.4.0 RC 1?

Yes, now this works.

(But there is another bug... opening ticket for that.)
