Php photo gallery TWG | JFUploader | TWG Flash upload | WFU | Forum

I just installed Flash Uploader freeware and when I try to use tfu.htm I get the error:

You are trying to use TWG Upload Flash without authentification, the server login failed, expired or the configuration could not be found!

Does anyone know what this means and how to resolve?

have you installed it on a webserver? and called it with http:// .... ?

Because the flash gets it's config from the server .

/Michael

Yes, I have installed it on a server running Microsoft-IIS/5.0.

what happens if you call the tfu_config.php directly - can it be accessed?

You have to set the rights of the server that the files in the tfu folder can be called.

/Michael

I don't mean to sound obtuse but how do I call tfu_config.php directly- I know very little php?

Does the code have to reside in a folder called tfu or any folder of my choosing? I currently have all code in a folder called uploads and enabled the running of scripts.

folder is fine -

simply don't call tfu.htm but tfu_config.php - or are you calling the flash directly?

/Michael

When I call tfu_config.php directly (#removed_broken_link) I get a series of errors:

Right now I am just trying to get tfu.htm to work.

first you should set your session save path correct!
because not even s session can be started!

you should configure your php correct first!

Then inclusion of related files fails. does /Uploads/tfu_helper.php exist?

/Michael

Yes, /Uploads/tfu_helper.php does exist.

When I run phpinfo() it says that session.save_path is C:\PHP\sessiondata, which matches that in the error message. Is it possible that the directory was not created during installation of php? The phpinfo documentation says that if it runs then the installation was successful.

By the way, I do not have server admin privileges; I am using an ISP.

Is the installation of Flash Uploader usually this difficult? This has become a real hassle, perhaps too difficult for the mere mortal to use.

seems like this directory does not exist or cannot be written.
Simply ask you hoster to fix this.

No - normally you simply extract the folders - set the uploaddir to writeable - done.

But a properly installed php is required .

/michael

you can set the path with

session_save_path("c:\\tmp\\");

to e.g c:\tmp\

but you have to insert this before every
session_start();
in the files starting with tfu_
