When uploading files during an application form, we get the following error from apache.
Files can be uploaded through the planner with no issues.
Gibbon error:
Your request failed because your inputs were invalid.
Apache error:
AH01276: Cannot Serve directory /var/www/Gibbon/uploads/: No matching DirectoryIndex (index.html,index.cgi,index.pl,index.php,index.xhtml,index.htm) found, and server-generated directory index forbidden by options directive
The error messages were related to different issues.
Issue 1 - Resolved
Gibbon error - Your request failed because your inputs were invalid.
A custom field on the admissions form was giving issues. Removal of the field allowed the form to be submitted.
Issue 2 - Unresolved - Files not accessible after upload on the admission form.
Apache error:
AH01276: Cannot Serve directory /var/www/Gibbon/uploads/: No matching DirectoryIndex (index.html,index.cgi,index.pl,index.php,index.xhtml,index.htm) found, and server-generated directory index forbidden by options directive.
Any assistance with resolving issue 2 will be greatly appreciated.
Hi @ZaidALB Can you help confirm if the errors you’re encountering are with the old application form found in Students, or the new one part of Admissions/Form Builder? This will help narrow down the possible causes.
The second issue looks like it may be related to file permissions. Can you check that your web root user (often www-data on Ubuntu installs) has permission to access the uploads folder? In System Admin > System Check there is a check for this, and you can also look at the permissions via an FTP client or command line via SSH.
Can you let us know more about the type of custom field? If there’s a bug, we’re just in the midst of the full system test for v30, so it would be good to find and fix the bug.
