[Django]-Django upload failing on request data read error

The problem could be:

  • your internet connection (some firewall blocking large uploads, just try uploading to some other service to test that).
  • your webbrowser (try disabling flash to see if that works)
  • your webserver (perhaps your webserver prohibits large uploads?)

So… to be a bit more helpful you’ll have to give us some info about which part is the problem (should be fairly easy to test) and if it’s the webserver (which I’m guessing) what kind of webserver you’re running, what kind of Python handler (mod_wsgi, mod_python, fastcgi, etc..)

This is common with MediaTemple — I encountered this problem, fixed it, and somehow it’s broken again. It has to deal with something about NFS locking, and the system calls used by django’s storage modules.

… (10 minutes later) …

Found it:

Anyone trying to run the latest 1.1
svn release will have noticed that the
above fix no longer works since
TemporaryFileUploaderHandler now uses
the locking code also. A workaround
until mediatemple and/or django devs
figure this out is to edit
django.core.files.locks and change the
two calls to fcntl.lockf to
fcntl.flock

Here’s a relevant bug report for
anyone who’s interested:
