Comment:
There's not enough information here to diagnose what is going wrong. I'm
reasonably certain that FILE_UPLOAD_TEMP_DIR is not ignored on Windows (I
believe I've used it in the past, and it has worked properly), so I
suspect user error. Please post to django-users and include:
1 - The actual title of the book you are using. There is more than one
Django book published by Apress, and the one that is available for reading
online has no mention of uploading files in chapter 6, so you must be
using a different one.
2 - Some description of what you are doing and at least bits of the code
involved. Not everyone who might be able to help has a copy of every
Django book out there, so unless you describe what's being covered in
chapter 6 you'll be limiting help to those people who have that book.
3 - The full error message you are getting, including traceback if there
is one. Saying its "related to !SuspiciousActivitty" is not enough
information for people to go on.
If after discussion on django-users it becomes clear that there is
actually an error in the Django code, then open a ticket.
One thing I will mention is that the problem may be related to how you
have specified your FILE_UPLOAD_TEMP_DIR. In Python backslashes in string
literals are escape characters, so setting FILE_UPLOAD_TEMP_DIR =
'c:\djcode\mysite\temp' won't work as expected. You need to either use
forward slashes, specify the setting as a raw string (i.e.
r'c:\djcode\mysite\temp'), or double the backslahses.
Also for future reference when attaching patch files please create the
patch from the root of the django tree, so that the full path name of the
file is clear.
