I don't did not recongized what part of the software is not working, as I get all data uploaded. Could somebody give me a hint where to look at?

Look at the option "copy_once" in the configuration file skin.conf for the skin "Alternative". It has some unacceptable glob pattern.

If you're stuck, post the file Alternative/skin.conf
