Internal error 500 on upload file from REST API

alexandreb

Hi,

I already had some trouble uploading a file from a node application to Alfresco, but this time I'm trying on a different way, and encountering different issue.

var http = require("http");
var options = {
      'host': 'localhost',
      'port': '8080',
      'path': '/alfresco/service/api/upload?alf_ticket='+ticket,
      'method': 'POST',
      'headers': {
       'Content-Type': 'application/json'
       }
   };
var body = {
       "name":"Name",
       "nodeType":"cm:content"
}
var req = http.request(options, function(res) {
          console.log('STATUS: ' + res.statusCode);
          console.log('HEADERS: ' + JSON.stringify(res.headers));
          res.setEncoding('utf8');
          res.on('data', function (chunk) {
            console.log('BODY: ' + chunk);
          });
       });
req.on('error', function(e) {
          console.log('problem with request: ' + e.message);
       });
       // write data to request body
       req.write(JSON.stringify(body));
       req.end();

The previous code is supposed to create a file in root ... sadly it return an error 500 internal error, here are the logs from the console :

STATUS: 500
HEADERS: {"server":"Apache-Coyote/1.1","cache-control":"no-cache","expires":"Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 GMT","pragma":"no-cache","content-type":"application/json;charset=UTF-8","transfer-encoding":"chunked","date":"Thu, 01 Jun 2017 15:50:34 GMT","connection":"close"}
BODY: {
    "status" :
{
    "code" : 500,
    "name" : "Internal Error",
    "description" : "An error inside the HTTP server which prevented it from fulfilling the request."
},

And here are the logs from Alfresco :

Looks like you are manually placing the file path as string. It will not work. File has to be attached. This is how we select a file in Postman. Rest of the params could be as is.

From your code I haven't seen any destination path or noderef parameter.

i have this code but i can't upload file into enywhere.
can you give an example of jsonData array syntax?
i have the default installation of alfresco and i have achieved to create direcory.
i cant find the way to upload file.
thanks

<?php

//API Url
$url = '192.168.1.1:8080/alfresco/s/api/upload?alf_ticket=TICKET_e0113b837d77e99b3e0a33da110e12be52bded4e';

//Initiate cURL.
$ch = curl_init($url);

//The JSON data.
$jsonData = array(
"filedata"=> "test.txt",
"siteid"=> "siteName",
"containerid"=> "documentLibrary",
"description"=> "A shiny new node"
);

//Encode the array into JSON.
$jsonDataEncoded = json_encode($jsonData);

//Tell cURL that we want to send a POST request.
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);

//Attach our encoded JSON string to the POST fields.
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $jsonDataEncoded);

//Set the content type to application/json
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Content-Type: application/json'));

//Execute the request
$result = curl_exec($ch);

abhinavmishra14

seems like you are trying to upload content less object. I dont see the correct filedata option.

Please look at this documentation, you must pass all required params in order to get succesful response.

Here is the detailed description for upload api:

Upload file content and meta-data into repository.

POST /alfresco/service/api/upload

HTML form data

filedata, (mandatory) HTML type file
You must specify one of:
- destination (the folder NodeRef where the node will be created)
- updateNodeRef (the NodeRef of an existing node that will be updated)
- siteid and containerid (the Site name and the container in that site where the document will be created)
uploaddirectory - name of the folder (either in the site container or the destination) where the document will be uploaded. This folder must already exist
description - Description for a version update (versionDescription)
contenttype - The content type that this document should be specialised to
majorversion
overwrite
thumbnails

Return content

nodeRef

Return status: STATUS_OK (200)

The web script description document specifies the following options:

Value	Description
`json`	The default response format
`user`	The authentication access
`required`	The transaction level
`any`	The format style

ni0ni0s

there is no good description for everything. can you give an example?

$jsonData = array(
"filedata"=> "@test.txt",
"siteid"=> "defend",
"containerid"=> "documentLibrary",
"uploaddirectory"=> "./",
"description"=> "test",
"contenttype"=> "text/plain",
"majorversion"=> "1",
"overwrite"=> "1",
"thumbnails"=> ""
);

I have used it with Java language. You can find the code and example here: http://javaworld-abhinav.blogspot.com/2014/09/upload-documents-to-alfresco-using-rest.html

Parameters are highlighted.

Source code example can be found here: https://github.com/abhinavmishra14/AlfrescoJMeterLoadTestPlugin/blob/master/src/com/jmeter/alfresco/utils/HttpUtils.java

You can take reference from that code and prepare the request similary.

Thanks for your help but in php i have errors.

{ "status" : { "code" : 500, "name" : "Internal Error", "description" : "An error inside the HTTP server which prevented it from fulfilling the request." }

i used:

$filename = "test.txt";

//The JSON data.
$jsonData = array(
"filedata"=> $filename,
"siteid"=> "defend",
"containerid"=> "documentLibrary",
"uploaddirectory"=> "uploadfolder",
"description"=> "its a description",
"contenttype"=> mime_content_type($filename),
"majorversion"=> "false",
"overwrite"=> "true"

);
