Firstly, thank you for this awesome module and amazing documentation. I was able to get Drupal and Flash Video module working on a proof of concept web site, and everything worked great. I switched to a more robust host with VPS so I could upload larger files, and I believe I followed the exact same steps to install Flash Video (working through your tutorial) and am unable to get files to upload. I am not using FFMPEG as I am uploading .flv video files directly.

As I wrote in the Title of my post:

- I attach a .flv file
- Click Submit button
- File appears to be uploading
- File does not appear in the "files" directory

My files directory is set to read, write, and execute permissions
I double checked my php.ini file, and the upload settings are according to your tutorial's suggested settings
The file I am attempting to upload is 3 mb
I went through the tutorial steps again, reviewed other people's problems and solutions to make sure I was not forgetting anything, and it appears as though all my settings are correct
I also attempted to browse the file, and click "Submit" button rather than the "Attach" button and this didn't help

Please help!

This actually sounds like an Upload Module problem. Have you changed the max upload settings in the File Settings?

Max upload settings are OK. I will look into upload module support tonight, and post my results either way in case anyone else has this issue.

This is embarrassing. I had made the setting changes to php.ini , but I didn't know that in order for those settings to take effect, I had to "run /etc/init.d/http restart" (according to my web host) for the changes to take effect. I should have realized this when looking at the flashvideo settings page.

I have a fairly identical problem, but I am unable to fix it, so hoping someone out there can help.

I installed flashvideo and tried to install. After some frustration, I disabled the module. However, now I am having the same behaviour as you were having with the file uploads. It looks good, but the file never does upload.

I am running a multi site configuration. The wierd thing is that of the 4 sites that I run, 3 of them work fine. Just the site/database that I tried to use flashvideo on no longer works. There has to be something (somewhere) in the database that flashvideo affects, but I can't find it.

Does anyone have any contribution of why the upload module suddenly does not work?

Thanks

same problem here :

When I create content and upload video file (flashvideo field) first time it works fine. but when i update content and upload new video file. the attachment list and upload button disapears from the form. anyway if i submit the form ,newly uploaded file gets uploaded. i think flashvideo module does not allow upload.js to work correctly. as I get data in upload.module that is passed to upload.js. but can not be displayed on form. please help me to resolve this issue. you can see the screenshot after i click upload button to upload selected file. Please See screen shots attached herewith.Please Help me to resolve this issue. Thanks in advance.

Dear santosh.chandankar,

I was having a similar problem the other day when Travis was sitting right next to me. As I attempted to upload a file, that piece of the form would quickly disappear. It was because I didn't have my php.ini settings set up correctly. As soon as I made the necessary adjustment, that fixed it.

Hi attheshow,

Thanks for reply.
Can you please tell me what types of settings need to be made in php.ini . Temporarily ,I had modified upload.js to resolve this issue, but i know modifying upload.js is not the right solution.

You might check out Travis's tutorial page on this. http://www.travistidwell.com/node/176
This information has also been added to the Help section for the Drupal 6 version of the module.
