Hello everybody,

I am using the PAPI to upload an image to a resource gallery in MCMS 2002. I
have successfully authenticated the user and changed the mode to update. Whe
n
I try to perform the upload I get the following error : "Server error.
Contact System Administrator". The error is of type
"System.Runtime.InteropServices".

Below is the code I am using:

Dim context As CmsApplicationContext = New CmsApplicationContext
context.AuthenticateAsUser("someusername", "somepassword",
PublishingMode.Update)
Dim gallery As ResourceGallery =
CType(context.Searches.GetByGuid("someguid"), ResourceGallery)
If gallery.CanCreateResources Then
gallery.CreateResource("C:\SomeFile.gif") //Crashes here: Server error.
End If
context.CommitAll()

I would appreciate any help as this is very urgent.

Thanks in advance

Regards

Hi,

this usually happens if the server is not able to successfully upload the
item.
Common reasons:

- the file has 0 bytes in size
- the file permissions do not allow MCMS to upload the item
- other IO problems.

Please use filemon from www.sysinternals.com to monitor the file access if
you are not able to isolate the reason.

Cheers,
Stefan

Thanks Stefan for your immediate help.
What you suggested solved the problem.

For other users who might face the problem, the Filemon utility revealed
that the mcms system account did not have permissions to access the image
file i was trying to upload.
