Problem uploading simfiles

Poochy · 06-18-2006, 11:24 PM

"Only application/x-zip-compressed or application/zip or multipart/x-zip files may be uploaded. You uploaded: application/x-tar"

I get that message whenever I try to upload a simfile. Yes, the simfile is in .ZIP format, and the exact same file was accepted by the 6.0 database who-knows-how-long ago.

Can you email the file to keith@bemanistyle.com so I can take a look at it.

Never mind, I just retried a few minutes ago, and it worked.

For reference, this was the file I was having trouble with yesterday:
http://www.bemanistyle.com/sims/simfile.php?id=1095

I am using Mozilla Firefox in Windows XP.

Same here.
"Only application/x-zip-compressed or application/zip or multipart/x-zip files may be uploaded. You uploaded: application/force-download"
Gets kinda annoying after you finished a simfile that want to upload but can't.

Can you guys email them to me?

••gravity•• · 06-20-2006, 10:09 AM

Sure thing, I will email it right away. And you will be getting it from noObin_tiGer@hotmail.com
EDIT:Sent.

Can you guys tell me what program you're using to make the ZIP file? When I receive your files I can see they are application/force-download and application/x-tar.

If I take your files, unzip them and re-zip them, they show up as application/zip.

i was using winzip

••gravity•• · 06-20-2006, 11:59 AM

Odd, when I zip them I use winzip (You know right click send to compressed zipped folder) also. I'm going to re-install winzip and see if that is the problem.

I made a change on the server, see if it works now.

darknightmare92 · 06-20-2006, 04:15 PM

I'm having problems as well, but when I hit the submit button, I get this:

The connection was reset

The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.

* The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few
moments.

* If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network
connection.

* If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure
that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.

Which makes no sense because I've already submitted one file successfully in 7.0, but ever since then, I haven't been able to get it to work again since.

>_< I think I hate 7.0....

That error usually doesn't have to do with us, it usually has to do with your internet. Try it again and see if it works.

Chris of STARS · 06-22-2006, 02:48 PM

I've tried 20 times. Like I said I got it to work once, then never again, so I don't think it's my internet. I tried resetting my router just in case but it didn't do anything... Also tried using Internet Explorer, but no dice.
