Can't upload or download in NetStorage

I believe the problem began after upgrading from NW6.0 to 6.5 (SP2 overlay)
though I'm not absolutely certain. Users can log into NetStorage and see
files with no issue. When they choose to download a blank window opens and
nothing appears. The problem is the same on Win98, WinXP, and on Fedora.
I've tried IE6 and Firefox. I've tried with and without the Java runtime
from Sun. I tried reinstalling SP2 and nothing changed. I've tried
reinstalling NetStorage.

What am I missing here?

Thanks,

Brad

Yes, it made no difference.

You did bounce your server after applying that patch?

Also is it only the download boxes that aren't showing in netstorage?
Can you see what is in the properties box ect?

Thx,

I had the same problem as you, see my post "NetStorage Blank upload
"solution!"" 26/11/2004
Basically I did exactly the same and updated my 6 box to 6.5....... a bad
move but slowly I'm sorting the problems.
you need Tomcat4 to fire rather than Tomcat3.

See my post and get back to me if you've got any feedback.

I don't see your post. Is it under another newsgroup?

Guys
From the countless posts on this forum it seems we are all in the same
drama,

I've just come out the end of a 7 hour dawn run with Apache, tomcat Netware
6.5 and all things evil.......

Basically the errors have something to do with how the ajp13 link is called,

First down apache2web on 80 (not 2200) with the command "ap2webdn"
jump into the file SYS:\NetStorage\xsrv.conf and you will see here some
shortcuts, mine now look as follows:

# The following line mounts all JSP files and the /servlet/ uri to tomcat
JkMount /NetStorage/servlet/* ajp13
JkMount /NetStorage/*.jsp ajp13

JkMount /oneNet/NetStorage/*.jsp ajp13
JkMount /oneNet/Netstorage/servlet/* ajp13

ofcourse there is other stuff within the file I didn't touch that.
once saved,
(don't believe a must but just incase)
back onto your netware box and "tomcat4 stop"
jump to logger wait for awhile till you see something like "bootstrap exited
successfully"
"tomcat4"
(just reloads tomcat afresh)
then "ap2webup"

Incase you guys are looking yourself you'll notice that we are staying well
away from any admin stack stuff. tomcat4 commands run the tomcat instance on
9010 (in my case and yours probably). You'll know your on the right track
when you can type in http://IPADDRESS/NetStorage/servlet/
and get a pretty blue tomcat error rather than a crappy Apache message or
nothing at all.

The blank upload screen sort of triggered me to release that tomcat wasn't
actually getting the message to "do" anything and therefore we would just
get a blank page.

If your getting the blue mesage, smile, log in to netstorage and voila your
upload, rename, delete should all be working.

Unfortunately that doesn't work for me. I do get the blue Tomcat error but
still can't upload or download.
