I've read the install instructions for both "Mike's File Attachment" and for "File_Sharing_MOD_2.51" and then searched through the .asp files to see which one is installed. It appears that the code for both upload MODS are inserted into my .asp files.
So, my question is: how can I tell which one is the one being used and how can I switch to the other method?
No. I still get an 500 error when I try to upload anything--which is why I was asking about how to identify which one is being used when the code for both Mods exists in my .asp files.
first thing is to try and get at the real error, 500 is just a generic error and doesn't mean that much. you need to make sure your browser is set to not show friendly http errors.
look under tools|Internet Options|Advanced and make sure there is NO tick next to 'show friendly http error message'
My problem in addressing this issue is that I don't know which code is being used when the error occurs. If I knew whether I was using Mike's upload, or the File Sharing upload, then that would help me to isolate the error. There must be a way to know.
You're not using any of those mods. The mod you have installed was written long ago and the author didn't put any info in the code as to who wrote it. Those mods are for a newer version of the forum software.
Still haven't found out the problem behind the 500 error. The error occurs when it reaches a recursive function, but clueless as to what inside this recursive function is giving the error.
Using one of these newer file upload mods would probably be the next solution.
