Thanks a lot Carole and Todd your posts have been very helpful to me, I've managed to upload a file !!!, but I have a little problem now, I would like to see if any of you or somebody else who reads this can help me, the thing issue is : I can upload small files good, but when it comes to bigger files, lets say 10M, the development server fails with a long error traceback saying something about "socket.py in read data = self._sock.recv(recv_size)"
the code Im using is this: template for uploading: {% extends "base.html" %} {% block title %} Uploading File. {% endblock %} {% block content%} <p> <form name="login" method="post" action="/uploading/" enctype="multipart/form-data"> <strong>Please enter the file you want to upload:</strong><br /> {{ form.file }} {{ form.file_file }} <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Upload!" / > </form> <br /><br /> Currently uploading to c:\Upload </p> {% endblock %} the model: class FileUpload(models.Model): file = models.FileField(upload_to='C:/Uploads') uptime = models.DateTimeField() class Admin: list_display = ("uptime", "file") def __str__(self): return self.hwkfile and the views: def uploadfile(request): manipulator = FileUpload.AddManipulator() if request.POST: # New upload if data was POSTed. new_data = request.POST.copy() new_data.update(request.FILES) new_data['uptime_date'] = datetime.date.today().isoformat() new_data['uptime_time'] = strftime("%H:%M", localtime()) errors = manipulator.get_validation_errors(new_data) print(errors) if not errors: # No errors found. manipulator.do_html2python(new_data) manipulator.save(new_data) success = "File uploaded" return render_to_response('success.html', {'success': success}) else: # Errors found, not writing to database. errorstring = "<br />".join(errors) return render_to_response('uploadfail.html', {'errorstring': errorstring}) errors = new_data = {} # Errors sent to the template, can be cleared. else: # No data POSTed, redirect to /alfin return HttpResponseRedirect("/hwk") def upload(request): manipulator = FileUpload.AddManipulator() form = forms.FormWrapper(manipulator,{},{}) return render_to_response('upbin.html', {'form': form} ) Thanks for your help :) --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
