can you check with ELMAH whats the error you're getting?

Thanks Eran but not sure I know what that is or how to implement it.

Sam.

i recommend plug it in your website so you can figure out the errors you get from gecko and from future erros 

http://code.google.com/p/elmah/

after you install it try uploading again the files and see the errors you get using ELMAH :)

Thanks Eran,

I tried that but got a server error when refreshing my website. I followed instructions on how to install but obviously I did something wrong. I was unsure about:

1) Regarding the DLL files (elmah/bin/net-2.0/Release/DLL-FILES-IN-HERE) - do I need ALL of these in my umbraco /bin/ folder.

2) In the web.config, I wanted an xml log rather than SQLite.

http://our.umbraco.org/wiki/how-tos/use-elmah-with-umbraco

Is this line correct in the <connectionStrings> settings if I wanted to use XML instead?

<add name="ELMAH.SQLite" connectionString="Data Source=~/data/errors.s3db"/>

I messed up somewhere, will try again later when I've got more time.

Sam.

you need the elmah dll

try playing with it a bit more, if you still having problems just message here i'll try to help

Hello Sam

I've often password protect the webbroot of sites that i develop on shared hosts. That always makes the Http Error problem with gecko uplodify appear. So if you've manually created password protection somewhere you could check that.

Hi Peter,

I have checked and I have 'No Protected directories' for my domain. Not sure what to try next?! This has only just started happening, gecko worked fine about a week ago, I'm trying to retrace what I've done since then.

Hi Everyone,

Ok, I have narrowed it down to the following section of my web.config file. Without this section, gecko uploadify works, with it, it doesn't and I get the HTTP error.

<!-- SEO: Force lower-case for URLs -->
                <!-- exclude umbraco folder, and all static requests to images, css, js and axd resource files -->
              <rule name="LowerCaseRule1" stopProcessing="true">
                  <match url=".*[A-Z].*" ignoreCase="false" />
                    <conditions>
                        <add input="{REQUEST_URI}" pattern="^/umbraco/" negate="true" />
                        <add input="{URL}" pattern="^.*\.(axd|asmx|css|js|jpg|jpeg|png|gif|mp3)$" negate="true" ignoreCase="true" />
                        <add input="{URL}" pattern="/Base" negate="true" />
                     <add input="{URL}" pattern="cdv=1" negate="true" />
                 </conditions>
                   <action type="Redirect" redirectType="Permanent" url="{ToLower:{URL}}" />
               </rule>

The guilty code above. I got this from Mikes blog here:

http://umbraco.miketaylor.eu/2010/11/03/url-rewriting-and-seo/

...and, once again. I don't really understand what the code means. Could anybody explain why this would cause gecko uploadify not to work? Thanks in advance :)

Sam.

Hi there,

The HTTP POST that this package makes goes to the usercontrols folder... the rule you have will generate a 301 redirect when that request is sent due to some capital letters being in the path.

Within the conditions element of that config block you should be able to add the following:-

                        <add input="{REQUEST_URI}" pattern="usercontrols" negate="true" />

is working on a reply...
