Question

I'm getting the error Uploaded file "" does not exist or is empty when attempted to upload any file. I noticed that this might have something to do with the version of diff used by solairs (SaveErrorWhenAttachingBinaryFile), so I switched to the RCSLite setting and still no dice.

compiling a new version of diff and/or rcs on this machine is almost impossible, and I can't find any sun binaries.

Is there anything I can do?

Answer

I was able to install the gnu versions of diff, patch, grep, fgrep, and egrep and updated the config to use them. I'm still unable to upload binary or text files and getting the same error. I tried it in Internet Explorer, and still have the same problem.

Configure is here is you'd like to take a look.

This is very unlikely to be anything to do with diff, or any other GNU program.

This error is issued when a file attached to an HTTP POST request has no data in it. So something nasty is happening between when your browser issues the request, and when TWiki is invoked to deal with it.

If I were you I'd update my version of the CPAN CGI module to at least 3.04 and try again. Just a guess.

Somehow or another I got it working. I was missing 6 modules for internationalization, so I installed all of those and the latest version (3.17) of CGI.pm from cpan and now it works. Though on my config page it still says I'm using CGI 2.752, even though the newer version appears earlier in the @INC path.
