Magento

Hi all,

I’m using linux mint, linux kernel 2.6.22-14-generic with disabled firewall. I use Magento Magento ver. 1.0.19870. To try out Magento, I installed two copy of Magento. One with secure admin backend and the other with plain http backend.
I have problem in uploading Images in the Product Information panel in secure (https) admin backend. When I clicked the Upload Files, the button didn’t do anything.
I don’t have the problem with plain http backend, I can upload images successfully.
Where’s the problem? Please advise. Thank you.

Is your SSL certificate self signed or is not made for the domain name you’re using?

The ssl certificate is self-signed and made for the domain.

Apparently flex component, which is used for image uploads will not function with a valid certificate.

If your certificate will popup a warning when opening your domain in browser, flex will not be able to connect to this server.

To successfully upload images you will have to disable SSL in admin until you will get SSL certificate signed by recognized authority.

My browser doesn’t popup any warning because I have made the self-signed certicate a trusted certificate in the browser. And I still can not upload any images.

I didn’t mean to say that browser popup is the problem, i meant that it is an indication of a problem.

While you can disable the popup for the browser, the same thing that causes the browser to popup the warning (which is untrusted certificate), cases flex component not to allow connection to your server, and you can not disable this limitation.

Does flexuploader.js file handle the image uploading ? If it is not, please advice which one. Thanks

There are few files involved in image uploading. These include:
js/lib/flex.js
js/mage/adminhtml/flexuploader.js
media/flex/upload.swf

Are there any reasons why my image uploads would stop working after I have added about 25 products and now if I try to upload an image then I keep getting the error message “Upload HTTP Error”. I have not changed anything?

I see this message is triggered in flexuploader.js, but is there a way of getting a more specific error message?

I have found the answer to my problem, but I think I would call it a bug. My sites are on staging URLs that are behind .htaccess protection.

When using .htpasswd protection images will not upload, and I believe this could be considered as a bug.
