Ready to order now but small problem with ubr_upload

[nowwecan]

Hey guys, I have been messing with a number of video scripts and clip share by far seems to be the one for me and fits like a glove.

..Well almost anyways.

I have a problem with other video scripts that use the ubr_upload . I get the infamous "flength error". I notice on the pro version (the one I intend to purchase) that it has a progress bar and found out it uses ubr_upload too.

I need to fix this ubr_upload problem before I purchase the script.

I have tried the .htaccess tricks with turning of the mod_security. Placed them in the root and even the ubr_upload directories. I was also sure to upload in the right format. I have also went to cpanel and disabled mod_security all together and I still get the same error. Can anyone help me out with this? Im on a vps server.

Also, another presales question, I intend to modify the script down the road to allow users to upload in SD or HD. Is it possible when users upload a wide screen video (high def) that the player would then be widecreen?

thanks guys look foward to hearing from you and being on these forums

Also in the agreement there is this:

4. PROHIBITION ON REVERSE ENGINEERING, DECOMPILATION, AND DISASSEMBLY

You may not reverse engineer, decompile, defeat license encryption mechanisms, or disassemble the Software Product or Software Product License except and only to the extent that such activity is expressly permitted by applicable law notwithstanding this limitation

I take that as I am not allow to take the script change a few things and resell it right? Thats not my intent at all, but I do plan on modifying some of this script to my needs for my personal use of my registered copy. That is okay right?

There is nothing to decompile (aprat of flash players) or disassemble or decrypt.
Those are BIG words but completely not adequate to this script.
ClipShare is open source, open to any change. Many CLipShare sites (including mine) are heavily changed.
And ClipShare team never had a problem with it.
Also as the script supports templates: you can use many from those available or create your own, even completely different.
In one word: there's no limits to create your own very unique site basing on ClipShare. Just a matter of your skills.

Eg. RedTube started with ClipShare, also GodTube and many more.

BTW.
ubr_upload problem happens in most cases because of missing parameter that should be setup inside cgi folder. If you follow instruction, review file carefully, you will find it.

Thats great news to hear, makes me feel all fuzzy! =D


Could you provide anyhelp on the flength error?

[kumbaia]

open the uploadfile and read, you have to set the exact path from the server in there starting with /
If you can't figure it out msg me and I'll help you.

Ive done that to a T, even reinstalled it and followed instructions, double checked everything countless times and still nothing. I moved on to try out this script and when I check out the system check everything is found except:

safemode
openbasedir

both are completely blank.

and then these are missing:

XVID Support missing ()
THEORA Support missing (
X264 Support ()

Not sure if those affect what I am doing. I just want to buy this script and get busy building my site but can not get over this hurdle.

Hey nowwecan,

Is your ClipShare located in any sub directory?

Example: http://www.mysite.com/clipshare

Or is it in the root directory?

Example: http://www.mysite.com/

If your ClipShare does in fact reside in a sub directory, you must put the ubr_upload.pl in the cgi-bin in the ROOT directory. After that, CHMOD (755) it to the proper protocol.

As many have said, make sure your PATH is correct in the ubr_upload.pl file.

Example:

http://www.mysite.com/clipshare (This is where your site is)
http://www.mysite.com/cgi-bin/ubr_upload.pl (This is where the .pl file should be)

Make sure you upload the ubr_upload.pl file in BINARY mode.

Other than that, there might be a variable that must be configured differently. Try what I have said and we'll see how it goes from there.

Kind regards,
Serpant

Hmm well that was one think wrong, I am installing in a subdirectory.

Put the .pl in the cgi and still getting the error but now I would have to assume its simply my path that was wrong.

Does it want my absolute path such as?

/home/me/public_html/my_subdirectory/tmp/uploader/

or

http://www.mysite.com/tmp/uploader/

[Serpant]

It requires your absolute path. ClipShare by no means must be installed in a sub directory. You can install it in root, or as many sub directories in. Just make sure your path is correct, ubr_upload.pl is CHMOD to 755, and just to be safe, copy the ubr_upload.pl into all of your current cgi-bins. This way, if it is the location creating this problem, it will be fixed.

Got it! its the absolute path, i read in another forum that its just your site path which is wrong.

Thanks a bunch! I have been fight this for hours!

Purchase copy here I come! Thanks to you my friend
