Problem uploading files in infolog

berbercl · Apr '24

Hello.
I’m running 23.1.20240304 Egroupware version, Apache/2.4.41 (Win64), OpenSSL/1.1.1c and PHP/8.2.0

When in a task (infolog), in the links tab I add a file. Indicates that it has been uploaded successfully. The temporary file appears on the server in the corresponding folder, but when I click on apply or save the task, the temporary file is not copied to the server’s file folder.
The following appears in the Apache error log file:

[Thu Apr 18 13:35:46.398648 2024] [php:notice] [pid 14864:tid 1888] [client 158.42.160.44:50169] EGroupware\\Api\\Vfs::copy_uploaded(C:\\itemp/egw2101.tmp, /apps/infolog/568, NULL) returning FALSE, referer: h t t p://mydomain/index.php?cd=yes

Thank you for your help

This looks like you specified the temp_dir in EGroupware Setup as a windows path.

I would first try changing that, probably the same for the files_dir, it also won’t work. At least you need to use forward slashes (/), not backslashes (\).

You have not written anything about your environment / installation.

Thanks for the reply.
Sorry for not providing all the information.
The operating system of the server where Egroupware is running is Windows.
The file is uploaded to the temporary directory, the problem is that it is not copied to the corresponding infolog directory and remains in the temporary directory.

It seems I have a problem with the php ACPU extension. Could this be the reason?

RalfBecker · Apr '24

Not using APCu will slow things considerately, but should not cause them to fail.

And you implemented the config-change I suggested (replacing backslashes in the config with forward slashes)?

Yes, I changed the backslashes in the settings with forward slashes, but the problem remains.
Now in the php errorlog file it indicates the following:

> [22-Apr-2024 09:20:11 Europe/Berlin] EGroupware\Api\Vfs::copy_uploaded(C:/itemp/egw75D7.tmp, /apps/infolog/568, NULL) returning FALSE

Are you sure the specified temp-folder exists AND is writable by the webserver?

Do you see the file from the error in that folder?

Ralf

berbercl · Apr '24

Yes.
The file is uploaded to the temporary folder with the temporary file name assigned to it. The problem is when it have to make the copy to the final folder. I don’t know where the infolog files are stored. I assume it should be copied to a folder within the file folder indicated in the settings.

I have no problem in either the temporary folder or the backup folder.

Hmm, a direct install under Windows is probably the by far most complicated and unusual way you picked for installing EGroupware.

The Vfs::copy_uploaded() method giving the error:

github.com

EGroupware/egroupware/blob/master/api/src/Vfs.php#L2019


	 *
	 * Treat copying incl. properties as atomar operation in respect of notifications (one notification about an added file).
	 *
	 * @param array|string|resource $src path to uploaded file or etemplate file array (value for key 'tmp_name'), or resource with opened file
	 * @param string $target path or directory to copy uploaded file
	 * @param array|string $props =null array with properties (name => value pairs, eg. 'comment' => 'FooBar','#cfname' => 'something'),
	 * 	array as for proppatch (array of array with values for keys 'name', 'val' and optional 'ns') or string with comment
	 * @param boolean $check_is_uploaded_file =true should method perform an is_uploaded_file check, default yes
	 * @return boolean|array stat array on success, false on error
	 */
	static public function copy_uploaded($src,$target,$props=null,$check_is_uploaded_file=true)
	{
		$tmp_name = is_array($src) ? $src['tmp_name'] : $src;


		if (self::stat($target) && self::is_dir($target))
		{
			$target = self::concat($target, self::encodePathComponent(is_array($src) ? $src['name'] : basename($tmp_name)));
		}
		if ($check_is_uploaded_file && !is_resource($tmp_name) && !is_uploaded_file($tmp_name))
		{
			if (self::LOG_LEVEL) error_log(__METHOD__."($tmp_name, $target, ".array2string($props).",$check_is_uploaded_file) returning FALSE !is_uploaded_file()");

According to your error-message is must go wrong here:

github.com

EGroupware/egroupware/blob/master/api/src/Vfs.php#L2072


				self::touch($target);	// create empty file, to be able to attach properties
				// tell vfs stream-wrapper to treat file in following copy as a new file notification-wises
				$context = stream_context_create(array(
					self::SCHEME => array('treat_as_new' => true)
				));
			}
			self::proppatch($target, $props);
		}
		if (is_resource($tmp_name))
		{
			$ret = ($dest = self::fopen($target, 'w', $context)) &&
				stream_copy_to_stream($tmp_name, $dest) !== false &&
				fclose($dest) ? self::stat($target) : false;


			fclose($tmp_name);
		}
		else
		{
			$ret = (isset($context) ? copy($tmp_name, self::PREFIX.$target, $context) :
				copy($tmp_name, self::PREFIX.$target)) ?
				self::stat($target) : false;

Check your configured files_dir, if it is writable by the webserver AND contains a (webserver writable) directory sqlfs, where Vfs::copy_uploaded() would try to store the file.

Most easy would be to use Hyper-V and run a Linux VM with a current Ubuntu LTS or Debian, and install our egroupware-docker Linux package in it, as described in our install instructions:
