[daisy] Error on Browsing for Images

[Jill Giboney]

Hi -

I'm afraid this problem that we first saw back in January is still
intermittently occurring - on two different Daisy 2.1 instances. The only
commonality seems to be that it happens after people have been editing for
awhile.

When it happens I usually check the upload-dir in cocoon-files and it is
always there and always empty. Restarting Daisy always fixes the problem.

Anything else I could look at the next time it happens?

Thank you for your further help on this.

I'm wondering if this could be related to automatic removal/cleanup of
the temporary directory. When uploading images, these are first put in a
temporary directory (inside the sytem temporary directory). On some
systems there are scripts which automatically clean out the temporary
directory after some time, causing this exact problem.

Starting from Daisy 2.0, the temp directory is by default located in the
wikidata directory, rather than in the system temp directory, to avoid
cleanup problem. So the location of the temp directory is then:

<wikidata directory>/tmp

Maybe you can check that this directory is really used, this is the case
if you see a directory named "Jetty__8888__" inside it.
