@drazraeltod Sorry to hear you're having problems! If the upload never starts, it may be an issue with your client or something isn't configured how your client expects. What client are you using?

@drazraeltod Just realized that the Stackoverflow post is by you 🙂

There's an issue in the configuration posted there:

In the disco_items option, you have specified your main domain as an item of itself. You need to put the upload component's domain there instead (e.g. "upload.example.org").

Without a link between the two domains, clients won't be able to discover your upload service.

@drazraeltod
Prosody automatically links direct subdomains for you, but as your upload service is not a subdomain of your main domain, manual linking (using disco_items) is required.

@prosodyim sorry, that was just some messed up description on my part

In my actual config, the VirtualHost is just "g33ky.de", the upload-subdomain is "chat.g33ky.de" and clients do discover it.

also i've tried different clients and they worked fine on my (really) old prosody-version that still used mod_http_upload - so I don't think it's a client side problem, but something about my setup
