Could not parse multipart servlet request

Question

When I tried to download file with my code, I have this error :

HTTP Status 500 - Request processing failed; nested exception is org.springframework.web.multipart.MultipartException: Could not parse multipart servlet request; nested exception is java.io.IOException: The temporary upload location [/tmp/tomcat.5139949927832460132.8080/work/Tomcat/localhost/ROOT] is not valid

I did not understand how this can be do. I try to create the directory but same way. I try to reboot the VM bue same way.

I have this in the log :

org.springframework.web.util.NestedServletException: Request processing failed; nested exception is org.springframework.web.multipart.MultipartException: Could not parse multipart servlet request; nested exception is java.io.IOException: The temporary upload location [/tmp/tomcat.5139949927832460132.8080/work/Tomcat/localhost/ROOT] is not valid

You can specify override the /tmp folder by modifying the start.sh script:

JVM_OPTIONS="-Xrs -Xms256m -Xmx512m -Djava.io.tmpdir=/opt/tridion/deployer-live/tmp" The first three options (-Xrs -Xms256m -Xmx512m) are out of the box, I just added '-Djava.io.tmpdir=/opt/tridion/deployer-live/tmp'.

The tomcat home folder and docbase folder are now created in the location that I specified, and the cleanup script can no longer do any harm.

I put the -Djava.io.tmpdir like you say. I obtain the same error ! :'(

what is the new error? are you getting error for new location or for the same location?

gaby Over a year ago

The same error ! It's the same location. But Without explication, we don't have the error now. I don't know why...

what are you trying to do exactly? uploading a file or downloading a file?

It is recommended to specify custom directory path for temp storage through spring (or server) configuration.

But quick hack would be to create the mentioned directory and provide the read/write permissions as

mkdir -p /tmp/tomcat.5139949927832460132.8080/work/Tomcat/localhost/ROOT

chmod 755 /tmp/tomcat.5139949927832460132.8080/work/Tomcat/localhost/ROOT

tomcat.xxxxxxxxxxxx.xxxx - This will be different on each server. Use this directory name from your server error.
