I have a problem with the upload functions. I tired all suggestions found on this subject like security settings, directory settings etc but it didn't help me.

I'm running WindowsXP, Web Wiz Forum 7.6, Persits AspUpload 3.0.0.3.

Using the sample files of AspUpload the upload works fine.
FSO is enabled and works without reporting errors when using an other script.

When browsing a file and selecting OK I get the message window
"Please be patient".Nothing hapens, no files are uploaded and after pressing the OK button in the message window the screen returns to the file browsing windows. After a while I can not access the entire forum anymore, resulting in the standard IE screen 'This page can not be displayed'. I need to restart IE to restore access to the forum.

Any sugestions?

In internet explorer, turn off HTTP friendly error messages

TOOL / INTERNET OPTIONS
Advanced ....

That will give a better idea of what is happening

It looks like a looping problem in the routine functions_upload.asp. The error message I get is

The page cannot be displayed

   Background:
   This error can occur if the Web server is busy and cannot process
    your request due to heavy traffic.

I'm using the clean downloaded version of Forum 7.6

The same problem occurs when I'm using a different upload ASP like ASPSmartUpload

If I eliminate the functions_upload.asp routine, by removing all the code and only returning a filename the system returns to the editor, displaying a hyperlink to the filename.

Putting in some dummy code it seems the problem is caused by the instruction

objFSO.CreateFolder(Server.MapPath(strFileUploadPath & "\" & strUserFolderName))

The code following this instruction isn't processed anymore.
I changed access to full administrator access rights for folder and IUSR user, but still have the same problem.

Does somebody know if there is a code fix for the functions_upload routine available.
