onto the one that we hope to release live soon. As part of this package, we make use of Uber-Uploader and experienced no problems with the dev server, which was set up identically to the soon-to-be-live configuration. However, I kept getting a "Failed to find flength file" error on the new server. I first consulted the page from Uber Uploader entitled Flength File Help "Failed To Find Flength File." That was clearly not the problem--I did not even have the mod_security module for Apache configured. I then ended up in a discussion forum related to the XUpload solution. Still no joy, though looking back, some people may have been on the right track, just not https://sourceforge.net/p/uber-uploader/discussion/497769/thread/cc412166/ able to clearly communicate the solution. In short, it was a file permissions issue. As most of you reading these words probably know, Linux has file permission settings and your Perl/CGI uploader script needs to chmod-ed to 755 or similar--it needs to be fully executable, in other words. No doubt the same issue would be true of an MS server with permissions set as well. Don't know how to set script permissions? Most FTP programs offer that http://mrrena.blogspot.com/2009/10/failed-to-find-flength-file-uber.html functionality, including the open-source program FileZilla--right click the Perl upload file, as shown below, and set your permissions to fully executable: Posted by Eric Knickerbocker at 3:13 PM Email ThisBlogThis!Share to TwitterShare to FacebookShare to Pinterest Labels: chmod, failed to find flength file error uber-uploader, xupload 13 comments: kahriman7:54 AMThank you very much. I lost almost one day to solve the problem. It was very helpfull.ReplyDeletemrrena10:10 PMComments like yours motivate me to keep writing this blog, friend. Thanks. :)ReplyDeletemnejatcan4:06 PMthanks a lot !!! This is the correct answer which I have not found in any other websitesReplyDeleteNikola5:40 PMnot hellping. still same errorReplyDeletemrrena8:13 PMHi Nikola. I don't guarantee that I can help you even now, but I've got three ideas for you try.First, have you tried the mod_security solution linked in the second paragraph?If that didn't help, could it be a permissions issue on the directory itself so that it does not allow for reading and writing to files (in this case, the temporary flength file)?Finally, could it be a directory path issue? If you've got your scripts parked in a different place than the configuration file is set up to look for them, that would certainly do it.The point is, your file is either not being found where is it supposed to be found or else it is not readable/writable. That could be the fault of many things,
Fix "Failed to find flength file" Error (Read 3244 times) PeterDudek Newbie Posts: 29 Cannot Fix "Failed to find flength file" Error « on: June 08, 2009, 06:03:18 PM » I've read everything about this error and tried every fix but for some reason http://phpmotion.com/forum/index.php?topic=12546.0 the problem is still around. I've re-uploaded the files in ASCII and made sure the cgi-bin directory https://discussion.dreamhost.com/thread-127367-nextoldest.html was set to 755. I even added the lines to the .htaccess file even though they weren't needed for V3 but the problem won't go away. Is there any other known fixes that I can try? Thanks.

And you're sure they overwrote the old files? Logged PeterDudek Newbie Posts: 29 Re: Cannot Fix "Failed to find flength file" Error « Reply #2 on: June 08, 2009, 06:35:04 PM » Yes I got them from the original package and I deleted all the files in cgi-bin on the server, set upload to ASCII and then uploaded the files and changed the permissions to 755.

I've read the Server Moves document in the Dreamhost wiki and see that you can no longer use "
