Frank, I have a few tips for you... 1. The last thing on a trace is usually the most important, the error says "UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' code can't decode byte 0xff in position 47: ordinal not in range(128). So it seems the software is trying to convert a byte into a character and it's not an ascii character. This could mean that your filename had a non-ascii character in it, or that your <FORM> tag didn't have the enctype="multipart/form-data" attribute. I would also check to make sure your <FORM> is using method="POST".
2. I noticed you were using mysql for the backend. I believe that sqlobject 0.7.1 uses a mysql driver designed for the 4.x mysql series, and in any case I (and others) have never gotten it to accept unicode correctly. The "create table" sql statements generated by sqlobject don't seem to contain the proper "CHARACTER SET utf8" that mysql 4.1 requires to support unicode. Perhaps some people have gotten it to work? Personally I just switched to Postgresql. To test the theory, you could of course try the sqlite driver to see if you get the same error. 3. Sometimes unicode errors are because of the client *not* sending with the expected character-type, and all you need to do is put this meta-tag in your <head>: <meta http-equiv="Content-type" value="text/html; charset=utf-8"> 4. Also check your config to make sure your templates default to using utf-8, and search this google group for other unicode tips. hope this helps, let us know what ends up working for you! -ian On Nov 18, 10:51 pm, "chiangf" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I was trying the file upload > tutorial:http://trac.turbogears.org/turbogears/wiki/StoringAndRetrievingFilesF... > > At first I was trying variations, but at the end, I basically just > copied it and it still didn't work.
