doc/bugs/attachment:_failed_to_get_filehandle.mdwn



I can't add any attachment to my wiki. When I select file using "Browse"
button and click "Upload Attachment", then ikiwiki.cgi file displays
the error message like below:
Błąd: failed to get filehandle


Can you do some debugging? If you edit attachment.pm line 136, to print
out what it did get, and show me what that yields, maybe I can figure
this out.

error("failed to get filehandle ($fh)");


Sure. I've done the change and it seems that $fh variable is undefined:


Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at /usr/share/perl5/IkiWiki/Plugin/attachment.pm line 135.
failed to get filehandle ()


Also, what web server and version of perl is this? --[[Joey]]


It's Apache2 2.2.8-1ubuntu0.3 and Perl 5.8.8-12 from Ubuntu Hardy. --[[Paweł|ptecza]]


The same message I can see in the Apache log file. There is also
following warning:
Use of uninitialized value in length at /usr/share/perl5/IkiWiki/Plugin/attachment.pm line 36.


This is unrelated, I've fixed the warning message. --[[Joey]]

Is it Ikiwiki bug or my attachment plugin is misconfigured? --[[Paweł|ptecza]]

Joey, please fix the colon in page name of my report. [...]
