[Solved] Upload a file - POST - No Files found
Added by dkal almost 8 years ago
Hi,
I try to upload a file to my webserver using POST: I must be doing something completely wrong.
I am using:
Linux raspberrypi 4.1.13+ #826 PREEMPT Fri Nov 13 20:13:22 GMT 2015 armv6l GNU/Linux
lighttpd/1.4.31 (ssl) (Feb 23 2016 22:37:00) - a light and fast webserver
I created a html page:
<form method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data" action="upload.cgi">
<input type="file" name="myfile">
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Upload Now">
</form>
The cgi Script looks like this:
upload.cgi
echo oooo
env
ls -l /var/cache/lighttpd/uploads/
ls -l /var/tmp
My Config contains:
server.upload-dirs=( “/var/cache/lighttpd/uploads/ )
I did assume that this is there the uploaded file are temp. stored.
But the Output of my cgi Script shows nothing:
Output in Webbrowser:
oooo

- lighttpd does not use temporary files when the request body is small; it just keep the request body in memory
- lighttpd passes the request body to the backend (e.g. CGI on stdin) and then removes the temporary file (if a temp file was used)
It is the responsibility of the script to handle the upload, whether it is multipart/form-data or some other encoding.
server.upload-dirs is for temporary files.
