Simple yes and no question : Has anyone here ever been able to test the upload module of drupal 4.7 or 5.x locally on a Windows XP SP2 machine ?

My testing server is running with Apache 2.0.59 and php 5.1.4.

The module does not work for me.

I had to change the line in php.ini :

magic_quotes_gpc = On

to

magic_quotes_gpc = Off

Otherwise, the upload module WILL NOT WORK.

That modification in the php.ini file might create other problems...

I did NOT install the patch.

I think that should be in the documentation somewhere... don't you?

So it seems that the patch described here :

http://drupal.org/node/91624

has not been reviewed nor included in 4.7, neither in 5.x

That's a real shame considering many people will have a testing server installed on Windows.

It shouldn't be documented, it should be fixed. Apply & review the patch and post your results at the issue.

Unfortunately I am not quite able enough to install a patch, so I cannot review it.

I will try though. Tomorrow. Trying is good. If I succeed in installing the patch, I will "apply and review" it. I'll find out how this is done.

Now I am going to bed.

Thank you much Heine!
