[Django]-'Cannot alter upload handlers' while trying to upload file

You have to define the uploadhandler before you start uploading. The moment you can access request.POST the file has allready been uploaded to the memory or a temporary file. This makes defining an uploadhandler pointless, as the upload has allready been finished.

Django docs are quite clear about when to define a custom uploadhandler: “You can only modify upload handlers before accessing request.POST or request.FILES — it doesn’t make sense to change upload handlers after upload handling has already started.” Without knowing enough about your code i can only guess, but i think it should be enough to modify your code to the following: 

def upload_form(request):
    outPath = '/opt/workspace/jup2/juppro/uploads/23232'
    if not os.path.exists(outPath):
        os.makedirs(outPath)
    request.upload_handlers.insert(0, ProgressUploadHandler(request, outPath)) # place our custom upload in first position

    if request.method == 'POST':       
        upload_file = request.FILES.get('file', None)   # start the upload
        return HttpResponse("uploaded ok")
