Hi,
I am new to apache web server. My objective is to upload a file from a C
program.
I am facing an issue in uploading a file to APACHE web server on
Linux. I am not able to find the uploaded file at the server.
My post request has the following data and the HTTP response is also
OK. if I dont specift /x.txt in the uri.
But if I specify /x.txt thenit is HTTP 404
POST /x.txt HTTP/1.1 \r\n
User Agent : My server \r\n
Host: x.x.x.x:80 \r\n
Accept: */* \r\n
Content-Length: 5 \r\n
Content-Type : text\plain \r\n\r\n
Hello \r\n\r\n
The error log on paache shows.
[error][client x.x.x.x] File does not exist /home/users/priya/
public_html/x.txt
where /home/users/priya/public_html has been set to
document_directory in httpd.conf
Please help me , I am not able to fix this issue.

Sharmistha

This is not particularly on-topic for the Apache mailing list. Try a
PHP list, or some books on how browsers communicate with websites.
In order to use things like $_POST in PHP, PHP must receive the post
data in a format that it can understand, which is either
'application/x-www-form-urlencoded' or 'multipart/form-data'. Your
data is not encoded into any format it can understand - it is just
'text/plain'.
You should do some reading/research on how HTTP works, rather than
bombarding this list with off topic questions. If you still have
questions after that, come back and ask them.

Hi,
I am trying to upload a file to apache web server . The post request is
successful. I am getting HTTP OK
Post request
POST /upload.php?save-as=t.txt HTTP/1.1
Host: x.x.x.x
Content-Length: 5
Content-Type: text/plain
Hello
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Now with the .php script upload.php I am trying to save the file as t.txt
.. Can anyone point me where I am going wrong the file is not getting saved
in the sever.
<?php
$filename= "t.txt";
$content = $_POST["body"]; ///?? I think there is something wrong here
$fp = fopen($filename,"a"); // $fp is now the file pointer to file
$filename
if($fp){
fwrite($fp,$content); // Write information to the file
fclose($fp); // Close the file
echo $filename . " has been saved sucessfully.";
}
else {
echo $filename . " was not saved successfully.";
}
?>

Thank you. How the script will read the results, should it read using HTTP
GET (as I am new to this). Is there any information available regarding
this anywhere in the website.

Sharmistha

The POST request type is not an upload method per se, but rather one of
several methods of delivering data in a request. If you wish to upload a
file, you should either use POST to send data to a script on your
server, which reads the data and saves it, or use the PUT method with a
DAV service.
For example: You have upload.php on your server which reads the POST
contents and saves it as a file;
POST /upload.php?save-as=t.txt HTTP/1.1
Host: somehost
Content-Length: 5
Content-Type: text/plain
Hello
The script will then read your contents and save it using some
php/whatever-language method you define.
With regards,
Daniel.
