Unable to publish update in a mod.

[Rafa Sanchez]

Hello!
I've been trying to publish an update for "the hillclimb" for two days.
It does not give me any error, simply to give to save update nothing happens, I continue in the edition screen and it is not published.

I do not know what to do...

Greetings
Rafa

Oh, and theres a 500 happening with no error response in it:

 

[Mathieu Labbé]

Any solution for this? For a manual update, I need to send you a link to the file and the update text I suppose?

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

Not at this point. I have forwarded it to our tech admins. Awaiting an answer what this might be.

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

I have disabled the flash uploader for attachments as a test, does that make a difference?

 

[Rafa Sanchez]

Fixed up!
Already accepted the update!

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

Really? Then it must be flash in your browser causing the issue. Very weird. Thanks for getting back @Rafa Sanchez

@Patrik Marek are your issues solved as well?

 

[Mathieu Labbé]

Thanks @Bram, worked like a charm this time around

Seems like new browsers are blocking flash quite aggressively now. I even tried to allow flash to run on RD when I had the problem but it wouldn't let me :|

 

[Patrik Marek]

I will give this another shot tonight once I'm home ,
but would this not prevent me from updating any file ?? ... rather then just 1 out of 3 ?

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

Hey Patrik, I don't understand your last question. Can you emphasize on it please?

 

[Patrik Marek]

Hey Patrik, I don't understand your last question. Can you emphasize on it please?

I was able to update 2 of my mods on Forums (different ones), and only 1 didn't work ,

so if the problem was with the flash uploader, I would expect that none of the mods would be able to get update, not just 1 out of 3

 

[Patrik Marek]

ha! it did work though!
so yeah, thanks for looking into this, will close down my new thread

thanks you so much!

I wish I have had brains to check this forum as soon as I had issues this morning.

I spent much too much time getting nowhere.... Now as I have allowed flash I can finally se it uploading.

Please add an information tab for people who are uploading mods, because this is big issue. If I would have seen any warning it would have saved at least two hours of brain cells dying.

I'm having trouble with this right now. Tried enabling flash, disabling flash, updating it, multiple browsers, no luck. I fill everything out and when I click "Save Update" it hangs for couple seconds, disables the button, then enables it again without actually having done anything. Halp.

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

Hey buddy, if you have difficulties upgrading I am happy to give it a try for you. Maybe you can send me the files?

The thing with this 'bug' is that we can't really reproduce it. Are you sure you haven't got any addons running in your browser?

I know why it's happening but need some time to put a solution in place. got a lot on my plate atm so unfortunately will likely be a couple of days.

Out of interest, how big is the file you uploaded?

 

[Topuz]

Thanks, glad to hear you're working on it. The file is small, 368KB zip archive. Is there anything I can do to bypass this? Pack it differently or something?

Afraid not, it's the compound result of something else we are working to resolve atm.

Neil has put a sticking plaster in place last night that may be enough to let you upload if you want to give it a go.

 

[Topuz]

Nope, sorry, still not working.

 

[Neilski]

Turns out Neil's a noob who fumbled the sticking plaster
Might be worth another try now though!

PS: Dave seems to have uncovered the root problem, which might make you feel better: your app is simply too popular and it's causing server issues when it updates

 

[Topuz]

Yaaay we're in business, thanks guys. Now I can continue stressing your server as usual.
