Cannot attach file : Unable to communicate with JIRA.

[Sivaz]

I am trying to attach a very small file about 15KB and it gives the above error while trying to attach during issue create in Firefox. we are running 5.1.6.

The same seems to work in Firefox for files < 10KB and it works for all sizes in IE.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

TIA

The issue was found to be in the proxy server settings which was fixed and the issue was resolved.

I am getting the same issue. Seems to be a problem with apache that is proxying JIRA.

As when reaching directly through http(s)://<jira_server_ip>:jira_port then attaching works fine.

At the same time on the catalina.out I am getting:

Managed to solved that. The problem was not-related to JIRA actually. There was a DNS issue which resulted in JIRA not being able to resolve the FQDN of the virtual host. For the history, the messages on apache were like: {code} ...

I got this error when I tried to upload a file the computer couldn't read   It was listed thus

-rw-------  1 root root      4390 23.01.2015 14:13 iostat.xml

So the directory could list it but not read it.
