Description Lucy Vaux-Harvey 2018-04-11 13:44:47 UTC
When uploading a zipped file of patron images an Error 500 message displays on screen at cgi-bin/koha/tools/picture-upload.pl.  The error displays regardless of whether the upload was successful or not and means that the user does not see the expected confirmation message.
Comment 1 Jonathan Druart 2018-04-11 17:31:39 UTC
Hi Lucy,
Which exact version of Koha are you using? Do you have access to the logs on the server?
Comment 2 Lucy Vaux-Harvey 2018-04-12 08:22:24 UTC
Version 17.11.03 and I do have access to server logs
Comment 3 Jonathan Druart 2018-04-12 16:24:06 UTC
Which error related to this problem do you see in the logs?
Comment 4 sunil 2018-05-02 09:43:11 UTC
Similar error faced by me and some other users also in past, See: https://lists.katipo.co.nz/public/koha/2017-July/048523.html

I think this error comes after a security update of apache web server: https://serverfault.com/questions/853103/500-internal-server-ah02429-response-header-name
Comment 5 Jonathan Druart 2018-05-03 20:43:04 UTC
Lucy, which version of Apache are you using?
Comment 6 Lucy Vaux-Harvey 2018-05-08 11:01:31 UTC
Hi Jonathan, thanks for taking a look.  I've re-tested but can't reproduce the error on the 17.11.03 site.

However, I do still get the error for another site where this was reported:
Version 16.11.03
Apache/2.4.10 (Debian)
Error logged as: 
[Tue May 08 11:46:42.647237 2018] [http:error] [pid 21812:tid 140624423646976] [client 2.25.8.236:60806] AH02429: Response header name '  inflating' contains invalid characters, aborting request, referer: https://bcol-staff.koha-ptfs.co.uk/cgi-bin/koha/tools/picture-upload.pl
Comment 7 Eugene Espinoza 2018-05-19 07:30:44 UTC
Hi all! Getting also the same error when batch uploading patron images. However, when I enabled plack in the server, the images were uploaded successfully.
Comment 8 Indranil Das Gupta 2018-05-22 00:28:41 UTC
Confirming that the problem persists on a package installed 17.11.05 (non-plack) with Apache 2.4.10.
Comment 9 Jonathan Druart 2018-05-22 14:36:25 UTC
Then install plack :)
Comment 10 Kyle M Hall 2018-07-10 13:04:36 UTC

> Then install plack :)

The script in question does not run under plack.
Comment 11 Nick Clemens 2018-07-10 13:41:49 UTC
The issue seems to be the call to system():

tools/upload-cover-image.pl:
107         unless ( system( "unzip", $filename, '-d', $dirname ) == 0 ) {
108             $error = 'UZIPFAIL';
109         }

This prints the reults to STDOUT, that is where the '   inflating' that upsets apache comes from

Bug 20564: Don't use system to unzip files

To test:
1 - Setup a zip file for patron images and cover images
2 - Test each tool
3 - Get a '500 error' after upload (note images do upload and attach)
4 - Apply patch
5 - Restart all the things
6 - Test agtain, uploads should complete and results display
Comment 13 Lucy Vaux-Harvey 2018-07-12 15:43:29 UTC
I've tried testing this patch on one of the sandboxes but can't access the Upload patron images tool at http://pro.user05-koha.sandbox.biblibre.eu/cgi-bin/koha/tools/picture-upload.pl
Software error is:
Global symbol "$filename" requires explicit package name (did you forget to declare "my $filename"?) at /home/koha/src/tools/picture-upload.pl line 118.
Execution of /home/koha/src/tools/picture-upload.pl aborted due to compilation errors.

This is great patch, except for a typo.

It worked only after I changed this line in tools/picture-upload.pl [17.11.5]:
    qx/unzip $filename -d $dirname/;

with this:
    qx/unzip $tempfile -d $dirname/;

The patch can be modified accordingly before it can be signed off.

Changing to signed off, since it didn't get marked as such, even though it is clear that it was.
