But I need to attach PDF files.

Do you generally on the server upload pdf files?

yes

When I attach a jpg or png image it works fine, but if i try to attach a PDF file, it doesn't give any error, and the result is as shown in the image. But no file is uploaded to the server. The directory rights are ok, otherwise it wouldn't work for image files.

Is there a solution for this problem? We need to attach PDF files!

Thanks,

 

Looking to the entry in the database, I see that the fields for the attachment are empty (see image attached).

Hi Isa, we have the same problem as you, but when we had the web on windows hosting it worked fine and now on linux hosting it doesn't work al all.

 

Antes teníamos la web en un servidor windows y funcionaba bien, pero ahora en un servidor linux ya no funciona.

Oh, we are working on linux servers...

Any solution???

I join this discussion since I am in exactly same situation than you.

On another forum, I didn't find solution but people tell me it is a problem with the host and the permission. I agree that if image, word's documents and rar file are ok and not pdf, it shouldn't be a permission problem, but they seem to say it is.

The fact is that when my website is locally installed, I have no problem with pdf.

I tested on those host, both on linux : Amen and Nuxit...

Searching and searching, testing and testing, we found out that it works with chrome, but not with firefox!! (Namoroka)

 

Any ideas?????

 

 

 

 

Isabel, thanks for this tip, It works for me - PDF uploading works in Google Chrome browser. Thanks A LOT again!
