If your application folder is deeply nested, than that could be a problem. On Windows, your choices
- move your web2py (and application) folder nearer the root of the filesystem - assign a drive letter to the path (shortening the total path) ... this may be the old alias command, but it's been a while since I did this - use Window's version of links to provide a shorter path (I think this became "real" in XP, but again I haven't done this in a while). Note that you do have some control over the length of the filename: - you can reject names that are too long, usually done in the form - you can rename the file to a shorter name, and separately track the original name Note that my experience includes having the web2py folder in a path like c:/users/mememe/web2py_win/web2py-2.14.6/web2py That's a fair-sized headstart on total pathlength, but so far I haven't had any users (any of me) produce a filename that caused a problem. On a linux system where actual users upload files, the longest name (as stored) is 235 characters, and the path is 57 characters. The filename is actually generated by a non-web program that we control, and sent via libcurl. The name encodes some information relevant to the client. /dps -- Resources: - http://web2py.com - http://web2py.com/book (Documentation) - http://github.com/web2py/web2py (Source code) - https://code.google.com/p/web2py/issues/list (Report Issues) --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
