[GeoNetwork-users] Unable to upload a file in Online resource section

GeoNetwork GeoNetwork User
1

Dear reader

I have set up geonetwork+tomcat+postgres

everything works fine - I have created a series of metadata

However, I face a problem when trying to upload a file under
Online Resource section. In fact only the Web address (URL)
option works there.

So when attempting to upload the file I get the following message:
"The requested operation could not be performed. "

I found the following lines under
C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5\log\jeeves

Hello Emmanuel,

Have a look to the authorisations on the Data directory.

Geonetwork/.../web/geonetwork/WEB-INF/data

Tomcat must be authorized to read (and write ) this directory and
subdirectories to copy the files uploaded.

That is my suggestion :wink:

Best Regards,
Fabien Bachraty

Dear Fabien

In this directory I can find the thumbnails - so it seems there is
authorized access...

Thanks!

Maybe you are true.

But Tomcat create a user to work and acces your disk.
This user must have the read and write authorisation not your user;)

The user is named Tomcat5 maybe Tomcat55 for the realease 5.5
I am not sure have a look :slight_smile:

Have can also look to the tomcat policy file.
Try to add something like this
grant codeBase "file:/usr/local/Geonetwork/-"
{
        permission java.security.AllPermission;
};

Either have a look to this interesting post :

http://www.nabble.com/File-upload-error-to13102530s18419.html#a13102530

(
edit the metadata-edit.xsl
and add this attribute to the form:

enctype="multipart/form-data"
)

Hi Emmanuel,
Unless you have an old version, this fix is already part of version 2.2RC0 and RC1 (search the metadata-edit.xsl file for that string to be sure). Otherwise it should be added in the JavaScript function doFileUploadAction as:

        document.mainForm.action = action;
        document.mainForm.enctype="multipart/form-data";
        goSubmit('mainForm');

(Only the middle line obviously).
If it doesn't work with the line added, please try Fabien's solution and let us know if that worked!
Ciao,
Jeroen

Dear Jeroen

I've version 2.1

the metadata-edit.xsl file is slightly different...
here is the doFileUploadAction:

   function doFileUploadAction(action, ref, fname, access)
   {
    // alert("In doFileUploadAction(" + action + ", " + ref + ", " + fname + ")"); // DEBUG

    if (fname.indexOf('/') > -1)
     fname = fname.substring(fname.lastIndexOf('/') + 1, fname.length);
    else
     fname = fname.substring(fname.lastIndexOf('\\') + 1, fname.length);

    document.mainForm.fname.value = fname;
    document.mainForm.access.value = access;
    doElementAction(action, ref);
   }

I will try version 2.2... and let you know.

Thanks again!

Emmanuel
