Upload/edit Image TinyMCE - Not Found the requested URL/admin/ajaxfilemanager/login.php

[NeilD]

Not sure what I've done wrong here but for some reason I cant upload images using the upload/edit image function on CMS pages. Just to be clear I'm not talking about the images for products, they seem to be uploading just fine. I updated to 1.4.1 in the hopes it would clear the problem but to no avail.

On my local installs of Prestashop (both 1.4.1 and 1.4.0.17) I have no issues and can upload as Tinymce intended on firefox and safari, but now that I've put the site up on a server I'm having problems. I've changed the permissions on the folder to 775 and then later to 777.

Heres what i do:
Click insert/edit image-> brings up popup -> Click browse from popup - > brings up second popup -> click upload -> brings 3rd popup -> click browse -> find the file on my desktop -> click upload. this is as far as i can get on my webserver.

I've tested it on serveral platforms:

On the Mac: Firefox4
i get to the last click upload but then get an error message reading " SyntaxError: missing ; before statement"

On the Mac Safari 5.0.3 is exactly the same all the way to upload but the error message reads "SyntaxError: Parse error"

On the PC: IE8 The "Insert/edit image" button has no effect whatsoever. Also if i right click to bring the menu up it appears in the top right corner of the browser and equally has no effect.

Chrome 11.0.696.68 brings up a nearly blank screen with
" Not Found
the requested URL/admin/ajaxfilemanager/login.php was not found on this server.
additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
instead of the second popup.

The file "ajax_login.php" is where it should be i have no idea why its looking for login.php?

Its a real pain the main reason i moved to prestashop from zencart was so i could upload images to non product pages.

Its probably a simple problem but any help would be appreciated, so thanks in advance

51 views so far and no one has an idea? Com'on people one of you bright sparks must have some clues to share with me.

Just take a stab in the dark!

Getting:

Not Found
the requested URL/admin/ajaxfilemanager/login.php was not found on this server.
additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request

in Firefox 4 and safari now.

the button still has no effect in IE8

Same problem here! It appeared out of nowhere. It worked fine at the office, but now, working from home this was thrown at me.

Any hints?

[NeilD]

I've explored every avenue i can think of. I've even reposted this on the TinyMCE forum. so far nothing but i will post an answer as soon as i have one

[korrona]

Thanks for the answer. I have seen your post on the other forum as well.

But! Behold! at the office works very well. Hmmmmmmm! I would love to make this thing clear because I would love to manage the system from any place in the world.

[korrona]

It is definitely an issue as I cannot do it from home. Hmmmm... Have you got any clues so far?

It is in the works here:
http://forge.prestashop.com/browse/PSCFI-1127?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel

A little update:
It seems it likes the Firefox 4.0.1 on Windows7.
this gets puzzling by the move...

[NeilD]

Thanks for the update, I think ill ask a friend to see if he can login with his windows 7 machine. I only really kept a pc around for testing purposes so I'm still running on XP. I'll also go round and install the main browsers and see if i have any luck with any of them, Ill keep you posted.

Cheers

Changing the browser done me good as it magically solved the issue. So, when I need off I go from Chrome to Opera (Mac OSX) and get the job done.

Hmmmm... it's a browser issue!

[NeilD]

Hi korrona, Thanks for the pointer I installed Opera and Chrome on the mac, and i get a little further than before.

can't get much further but i do get all the way to the upload screen after choosing a file and hitting upload i get

" SyntaxError: Unexpected token < " in Chrome

and " SyntaxError: at line 2, column 0: expected expression, got '<' "in opera

I wonder which file its talking about if i could find the < then there's a chance i could edit the code to work somehow.

I've yet to hear back from my windows 7 using friend.... Sigh back to square one for me.

[NeilD]

I may have found a lucky break. I found this post on another forum:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1359476/tinymce-file-upload-generic-syntax-error

It seems that many TinyMCE users are having the same issues, I have found posts in quite a few forums regarding the
" SyntaxError: missing ; before statement " most were marked solved when someone added

Our host had just added mod_security and recompiled Apache. They had to white list ajaxfilemanager to get it to work properly again.

I have my own host looking into the issue now fingers crossed ill have a solution soon. ill keep you posted

@Korrona - Dunno if this will help you since you seem to fine from your office computer. I had my friend check windows 7 for me but he gets the same errors as i do, so i suspect we have a different issue.

Hello, i got same problem here syntax error when upload image. After tiring googling, the last solution contact your hosting provider and told then total disabled mod security. It working.

[NeilD]

in the end i just changed hosts since the one i had just deleted my ticket and ignored me new hosting company seems fine so far

[shellxie]

I encountered the same problem as I use IE. But when I use FireFox I can upload image well. I am trying to upload embedded media such as Windows Media by TinyMCE.

Please help....anyone?

[frederic42]

Some hosting blocked function sleep() for security reason (safe_mode)

You can comment line 13 of file ajax_file_upload.php //sleep(3) from folder "your_admin/ajaxfilemanager/"

replace this line in ajax_file_upload.php (admin/ajaxfilemanager/)

 

$manager = new manager($upload->getFilePath(), false);

to:

$manager = new manager(dirname($upload->getFilePath()), false);
