Blank form and no entry upon submission

  1. I have 3 forms on my site, all of which create & publish posts of custom type. The one with a post image upload field returns a blank version of the form when submitted, no errors, and no entries are recorded.

    Seen here: http://hethens.com/images/submit

    I tried with and without AJAX and am running the most recent version of GF. Any ideas?

  2. This error is now showing up randomly. Sometimes it goes through and sometimes with form just refreshes with no rhyme or reason.

  3. I've nailed it down to a Mod_security error. HOWEVER, it looks like your upload form is trying to create tmp files in my root directory and I don't want to disable Mod_security for a folder that close to home. How can I change the tmp directory?

    [error] ModSecurity: Input filter: Failed to create temporary file:
    /root/tmp/20120312-144726-T15EvjIcByYAAFNLCkgAAAAP-request_body-fqNZGh

  4. Okay it might not be just mod_security. The form is submitting forever (literally) for some files, and others just refresh the page. Meanwhile some go through fine.

    Can an admin please give me some ideas on this? This is literally the ONE feature that is holding me back from the launching the new version of my site.

  5. I have users experiencing (and complaining) about similar behaviors... (most notably my own father who has been helping me troubleshoot this) I have a north of 10% submission rate so I know the form is working for many but for a few very vocal folks, they are drawing a blank screen and their submission is never making the database. I tried updating to the beta and got the same results. I will add that in the case of my father he is using a relatively slow satellite connection if that provides any clues. Looking forward to any insight you may have...
