File Uploads With Nginx & Ssl

cloudrck · December 22, 2013

Does anyone else have issues trying to upload files via the Support Manager in Blesta? Uploads work fine using Nginx/PHP and Nginx/RoR with plain HTTP. But with Blesta and HTTPS it doesn't seem to work.

The folder is writable.

Blesta gives this error

The file could not be written.

Nginx logs

I've searched online and saw a few people with the same issues but with no solution. This appears to be an issue with using SSL. My client_max_body_size setting doesn't seem to matter.

Does this path exist, and is it writable?

/home/user/blesta/uploads/1/support_manager_files/

It works for us, but we may be doing it differently. We do SSl termination on a Nginx proxy which then passes through to a different Nginx server running Blesta in clear text.

I've never seen the 'client intended to send too large body' error before. Normally it would be a 413 Request Entity Too Large if it was a matter of max_client_size.

Would you mind posting the relevant bits of your configuration?

cloudrck · December 24, 2013

Thanks for the reply, this is what I have

https://github.com/cloudrck/blesta-nginx/blob/master/sites-available/blestav3

In addition, I added client_max_body_size increased to 3M or more with the same results.

Timothy · December 24, 2013

Hi,
I would take a look at the fastcgi buffer settings and increase to compensate for the larger size of SSl transactions. Link: http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_fastcgi_module.html#fastcgi_buffer_size

Edit: You may want to look at fastcgi_max_temp_file settings too. They may be to low for the file you are uploading.

cloudrck · December 24, 2013

Thanks but no dice. I'm going to try to use blesta on a non-SSL setup and dig deeper, this is going to be "one of those issues".

cloudrck · June 15, 2014

I have no PHP/Nginx errors, but I still get the Blesta error on trying to upload anyfile. I'm stuck

have you test a simple upload form in php ?

ServZoo · June 15, 2014

It's interesting... I can upload screenshots in the Support Manager Pro plugin, but I can't upload my logo for my custom invoices.

I think I had tested Blesta on non-ssl and it worked. Never tested a regular upload i don't think, it's been some time since I tried to troubleshoot this. I'll do that next

Are you running PHP-FPM?

Yes, and I force SSL on the entire subdomain.

Maybe is related to this post, and here is my solution: http://www.blesta.com/forums/index.php?/topic/2605-invoice-logo-is-uploaded-but-not-showing/#entry18887

Normal PHP uploads work fine. Seems to be an issue with Blesta. I'm going to have to dig in the code later

cloudrck · June 22, 2014

This would be easier if there were any error messages, but PHP/Nginx don't log any errors. Blesta only says it can't upload the file.

@ServZoo what error messages are you getting?

EDIT

I enabled error reporting and logging for all errors.

 catch (Exception $e) {
                        // file could not be written

                        error_log($e->getMessage(), 3, "/tmp/my-errors.log");
                }

This is what I'm getting now. Even if I change the tmp directory, it still tries /tmp

try to change the tmp directory in php.ini ? and make it under the user account .

No, I was going to try that, but it seemed like it would makre things more complicated by declaring/restricting directories.

Wow, that fixed it. Shouldn't these directories have been created by blesta? Did I miss this in the documentation?

Should be automatically created if the upload folder is 777 or 666 or whatever when installing the plugin.

The Support Manager attempts to create the directory when installed, yes. However, if you have an invalid uploads directory set (under [settings] -> [Company] -> [General] -> [basic Setup]) at the time you install the plugin, or your user does not have permissions enabled to create a directory at that path on the server, it could fail to do so.

Okay, thanks, good to know.
