Question

CFFILE Overwrite

I've got a page where someone can upload a photo. If they upload and then
decide they'd rather upload a different picture to replace it, they can do
that. But for some reason, the new file is not replacing the old one, and is
not showing up on the server at all. The old file remains. Here's the code
I'm using. Any ideas?

<cfif IsDefined("Form.File1")>
<cfif #trim(form.File1)# is not "">
<CFFILE ACTION="UPLOAD" FILEFIELD="File1"
DESTINATION="#ExpandPath('../carimages/#URL.SellerID#/')#"
NAMECONFLICT="Overwrite" accept="image/jpg, image/pjpeg, image/jpeg,
image/gif, image/png">

<cfx_imagecr3
load="#ExpandPath('../carimages/#URL.SellerID#/')##CFFILE.ServerFile#"
save="#ExpandPath('../carimages/#URL.SellerID#/image1.jpg')#"
quality="50"
resize="300x300"
dpi="72">

<cffile
action = "delete"
file = "#ExpandPath('../carimages/#URL.SellerID#/')##CFFILE.ServerFile#">


<cfx_imagecr3 load="#ExpandPath('../carimages/#URL.SellerID#/image1.jpg')#"
save="#ExpandPath('../carimages/#URL.SellerID#/image1_thumbnail.jpg')#"
quality="50"
resize="110x110"
dpi="72">


</cfif>

    I'd have to agree with Azadi, then. See if deleting the file first works.

    Very strange...

    Good luck!

    In my original upload, it deletes the server file, so deleting works fine.
    But thanks. The directory is a folder within the root of the server.

    Well, I've seen this on a Windows 2003 Server situation, but you didn't specify, so you can feel free to ignore this! :-)

    Sounds like rightsissue, i.e. - create rights but not modify or delete.

    Your program looks good - it should overwrite the image1.jpg file and create the thumbnail.

    Is the directory under the web root, somewhere else, etc.? You may want to check this.

    Anyway, you've probably looked at all that already. Just thought I'd lend a hand if I could.

    The first picture is making it fine. When it comes time to replace it, it
    acts like it's uploading the pic, but it doesn't seem to happen. I tried
    Error and MakeUnique, but neither makes a difference. It acts like it
    uploads, and then keeps the old picture on the server.

    For one thing you have #s all over the place that you don't need them. To troubleshoot, have you tried changing OVERWRITE to either ERROR or MAKEUNIQUE and see what happens? Maybe the file isn't even going up.
