WebDAV upload to ownCloud fails with HTTP Error 400, ID: 1252130041

siuVuu6w · September 25, 2015

Hey there,

I'm using Zotero Standalone on Lubuntu Linux, and I'm syncing my files to my self-hosted ownCloud. It seems like newer file attachments are not uploaded anymore because of a
"HTTP 400 from WebDAV server for HTTP PUT".
Yet older files are definitely there.

I recently installed Zotero Standalone on a Windows 7 machine, and I can download the existing files, but the files from last month or so can't be downloaded because those aren't on the server (as Zotero also says).

I added my owncloud error-message for comparison: http://pastebin.com/AXb4ED5u

Bug ID: 1252130041
server-address: https://[subdomain].[domain].net/remote.php/webdav/[zotero]
Verification of the server in Zotero-WebDav-config leads to a "success"-message.

All the best,
siu

EDIT: I just upgraded to the latest Zotero 4.0.28, yet the problem persists.

This is an issue with your WebDAV server. You'll need to debug this yourself using the server logs.

(A 400 indicates a client error, but Zotero works with most standard WebDAV servers, so it's more likely that this is an ownCloud bug. If you can identify a specific problem, we can take a look.)

I get the same error message. Given that it is a server side problem, I guess the Github PHP findings apply in my case too although I'm using Zotero with Windows 7.
