DevDB uploader broken? - About xda-developers.com

Is the DevDB uploader broken right now? I've been trying to upload a new build of my ROM for a few hours and every time it fails at the verification step. Not sure where to post this kind of thing but this seems like the most appropriate place; if not, feel free to move my post. Thanks!
Edit: took a look at the javascript console and it seems like the torrent creation script is throwing a 500 error, if that helps at all.

Hi iofthestorm
Found the same behaviour on my thread (not DevDB).
I've noticed that 500 is raised over attachments (images too) only when using desktop browsers. Control panel shows my attachment but it's not accessible. Tested with: Crhome, FireFox and IE ... logged and as anonymous ... same 500.
But, browsing the same thread with xda-app shows up perfectly.
Weird!

Thanks for the feedback guys. Had an issue on the devdb file server the other day and it looks like when things came back up the MySQL server didn't start properly which prevented new uploads. This is now fixed and I've tested it, so let me know if you still see any issues with it.

This is a separate issue - it seems like the thumbnail wasn't created properly, but if you click on the file the actual attachment was created properly. I'm going to do some testing to see what is causing that problem.

Testing attachments... should be good to go now.
Edit: Yup - everything good. Let me know if you have any other issues with attachments.

I redid the downloads server a week or so ago, there are some new security measures in place and that is probably what caused the not-authorized error for you. I just downloaded one of your old files and re-uploaded it without issue. Can you let me know what browser you are using, or if there are any extensions that might be blocking in?

Thanks, the plugins are probably doing it. I use unbranded FireFox (IceWeasel) with the NoScript plugin (although xda has been allowed for a long time - I may need to whitelist something else, or use Chromium/Chrome).
UPDATE: it appears that Chrome is handling uploading fine (Chromium was a bust due to the lack of Shockwave Flash support, as the Upload button was dead). Is there a predictable server for the authorization I could whitelist back in IceWeasel - that way I don't have to switch browsers? (Seems that the authorizing server loads at the last moment, preventing me from determining it's name.)

I don't like things that I can't fix lol
If you turn off NoScript, do you see them?
Try to allow *.xda-developers.com for your Javascript.
I'll give that a shot. Oddly, sometimes if I refresh the page they show up... sometimes
I also can't see any attachments for any threads. I noticed this about 2 weeks ago (or so). I figured it was just me but I see that it is still happening. I'm using Chrome.
I'm having the same problem, also using Chrome. Anybody figure out a fix for this?
Edit:
AdBlockPlus was doing it
Thanks geniustheanimal.
I added forum.xda-developers.com to the whitelist in Adblock Plus and now it works!

But Firefox won't show bbcode explicitly to edit.
I mean when you quote a post with image.. it won't give image link.. but it will show image itself.. ie acts the same way:banghead::banghead:
I tried settings.. but couldn't find how to make it show bbcode

Disable wysiwyg in xda settings and you'll be able to see those, also there's a toggle button to switch the editor mode in ffox when posting a reply. That's the plus side of using something other than chrome, wysiwyg does not work on chrome without an extension. I prefer chrome though.

If I am not mistaken that problem exists only when we set xda to "xda 2013 beta" format at the bottom. I think all other display formats, including "xda 2013 beta-1024", work okay.

Yup it happens only with the 2013 theme, i don't use the 1024 version. Also switching between themes when that happens will temporarily fix it. But it's a pita to do that always.

This is a pretty old post. As stated the Developer fixed the browser issue that was occurring at the time.
The internet browser is usually the problem. Try a different browser. If trying to access the site from a mobile device, try from a regular pc as well.
And the site in now www.androidfilehost.com

Your username was about, lol, I will try to create a better registration form and such after buolding the api
Will you add a possibility to browse the supplied XAPs? That would be really awesome And you said you're building an API, I could help you with making a WP app so it's possible to browse and install directly from the phone in an easy way
Hope this goes well cause this could be a really good store. I see a lot of possibilities here

Unable To Use Advanced Edit - PROBLEM SOLVED!!

Hiya everybody,
Im having difficulty using the advanced edit option. I want to edit the title of one of my threads but when I click on the button I get a 502 Bad Gateway error.

Anybody else experiencing this?

Is it doing this on different PC browsers. Sounds like a browser issue BUT it might be something about the thread.
Can you link to the thread in question and just as a matter of interest does it do it on other threads of yours.... like this one?

A couple of years ago, or so.
I had a thread that I couldn't edit the title, so I just used the report post button, and asked that a Mod edit the title for me.
After the Mod edited the title, I was able to edit it myself again, don't remember if some reason why was found or not.

Ok, bit of a disaster here.
I tried to edit the title by adding a period "." at the end of the title.
That worked, however after saving it removed the graphics!!!!!!!!!!!!!! or at least the graphic links you see in the text editor are still there but all screwed up.
You may be able to add them back but it's going to be a pain... sorry.
I have seen this exact same corruption before and I've spoken to bitpushr about it a few times but he could never replicate the problem.
Quite a few people have this happen to them, my feeling is that it happens when the OP uses unusual fonts or characters and it may be too that copying in content to the post from other sources like MS Word etc., causes stray code to get in and corrupt the post. I strongly suspect that's why it was giving you the Gateway error to begin with.
It might be worth re creating the first post without using any copied in text or at least just plain text and formatting within the post... then deleting the existing post one.
This would need to be done very carefully as any accidental deletion of post #1 will delete the thread.
Another method might be to create a new thread, get post one just right and working, then we copy across all the posts from 2 onward to the new thread and delete the old thread.

Ok, bit of a disaster here.
I tried to edit the title by adding a period "." at the end of the title.

Thank you for that, I'm trying the advanced edit now...and it seems to work. No gateway error!
Losing the image links isn't a problem - I have the whole thread saved as a TXT file anyway. I normally write the longer posts in Notepad++, I just find it easier. I used to access this site through IE at work and I noticed that the advanced edit messed up the image links there as well. But not if I used Chrome.
I guess I must have put an unusual code in there at some point over the years..hmm.. Oh well, a good excuse for a refresh!
I'll keep an eye on this and, if I have problems in the future, I'll bear your advice in mind. :highfive:
----update----
502 gateway error again when I try to update the post with new text and a new title. I'll try just updating the title for now. Maybe I need to rewrite the post that much sooner!
Wait...wait...nope, now it's working. Post updated finally! Thanks so much for all your help!

A couple of years ago, or so.
I had a thread that I couldn't edit the title, so I just used the report post button, and asked that a Mod edit the title for me.
After the Mod edited the title, I was able to edit it myself again, don't remember if some reason why was found or not.

A good idea, I'll definitely remember that in the future.

Agh! good some progress at least.
So the idea of getting a Mod to slightly edit the title works then. Except:silly:, don't get me to do it as all the graphics go wrong (I use the WYSIWYG editor too.

The saga continues...
I thought I had this but it looks like I was wrong. Advanced edit works now. I did some trial and error and worked out that error was being caused by one of the mentions I had in there. It looks like I had too many and that's what was causing the gateway error.
But I still can't change the title. I put in a new title and, although I don't get any errors, the title doesn't actually change. It's still the way it was when you changed it.
While I'm trying to get this sorted out, could I please ask a favour? Could you possibly change the title to "[TOOL]Tickle My Android - Decompile & Deodex With Ease"? I normally have the version number in there but I'm beginning to suspect I may have to have a static title rather than one I keep changing...

OK, updated the title.
Used Chrome as Firefox might have removed all the pics again

Thanks. The title's changed and the images are still there. I think I might leave it alone now. Don't want to tempt fate after all..

Where did you find this link?
Screenshot from my S9. Sorry md caffeine hasn't kicked in yet. It was at the bottom of the page.

Yes, that is the link. But for me too, it throws a 404 error.
Clicking on the link goes to 404, but then the website address in the address bar is "https://www.xda-developers.com/andr...382.884869711.1639209672-594525826.1638518782" which is wrong. Shortening it by deleting everything after "install/" correctly leads to the intended page (like this: https://www.xda-developers.com/android-software-update-download-links-repository-sideload-install/).
I don't know why it generates a different website address for some of us. @Oswald Boelcke ?

Sorry, I've no clue but due to your findings it seems to be related to the "structure" of the URL.
I got no clue either, but Murphy does what he wants when he wants. I hate Murphy. Lol.

Are you using the XDA app or your browser?
Brave browser here.
The above link still works A-OK for me.

I've tried Chrome, Firefox and I even installed tor browser and they all pull 404.
Installed XDA's app and still getting same result. IDKWTF. I hate computers sometimes.

I use MS Edge and FF. Both correctly lead to the content from the link given by Oswald Boelcke. No 404s. Did you check the URLs in the browser? I think that it is not XDA that is having issues since others are able to properly access. It is some users like you and me who are having issues.
I can't understand what the hell is going on everything is correct. I use Google as my DNS server. I hate Xfinity.

I usually ignore glitches here as they go away after a short time.
Or as Adroid has conditioned me to do... I find a workaround
