Question

I’m trying to create an uploading control in MVC3.

At first i’ve tried with javascript and HTML5 to create upload control, but that doesn’t work with any of the IE versions. So,i’ve move to this flash version of uploadify.

I’m getting HTTP Error: 405 when uploading

Here is my code in javascript for uploadify

$(function () {
        $('#file_upload').uploadify({
            debug:true,
            'swf': '/Content/uploadify/uploadify.swf',
            'uploader': '/Content/uploadify/uploadify.php',
            'cancelImg': '/Images/uploadify-cancel.png',
            'script': '/Home/Uploadify',
            'folder': '/Content/uploads',
            auto: true

        });
    });

I’ve even tried with debug: true to see what was gone wrong, but i couldn’t get what is wrong.

Here is my output with debug:

Answer 1

I’ve solve my problem finally. Its the uploader that troubled me.

the uploader should be the action of the controller in mvc.

Here is the solution:

$(function () {
        $('#file_upload').uploadify({
            debug:true,
            'swf': '/Content/uploadify/uploadify.swf',
            'uploader': '/Home/Uploadify',
            auto: true

        });
    });
