I can't get my cffile upload to work. I'm on Linux CF 8. When it runs it appears that everything happended correctly. No error message appears and the variable dbfurl, that holds the filename, gets inserted into the database further down in the code correctly. The problem is the file is never uploaded. Whenever uploads haven't worked in the past I've received an error message. Anyone have ideas on what's wrong?

Could be that Coldfusion cannot find the destination to park the uploaded file. If indeed so, then the uploaded file will be in the temporary directory. Go have a look there.

<p>Temporary directory for this ColdFusion server:
<cfoutput>#GetTempDirectory()#</cfoutput>.</p>

Hi,

(Just a continuation of Kronin555's answer), Check your upload directory's ownership, in some cases you may have to change it through the "chown" command. Check it with your administrator.

I've tried adding mode="777" and it doesn't help.

I changed to cffile.ServerFile, but that was the part that was working correctly. I've forgotten the form attributes before, but it would be returning an error message if I had done that.

The no error message is throwing me.

Does the user that the coldfusion process is running as have write priviledges to that directory?

1) The file structure is deprecated. use cffile.ServerFile instead.

2) Aside from Prasanth25's remark, the form tag should have the attributes method="post" and enctype="multipart/form-data"

Hi,
Try adding mode="777" to the cffile tag and try.
