Choose File button missing [Solved]

[stuartjw]

The Choose File button is missing from the upload page, a user can create a download header but not upload a file

I copied this installation over from one of my other websites where it works fine.
I have reinstalled jdownloads on the new site to see if that might correct the problem...it didn't

Any ideas?

thanks
Stuart

OK, I've just checked again and "choose file" button is missing from the other website now !

Both sites are hosted on the same server, so I'm wondering if this is something to do with modsec rules or other permissions ?

I will also see if the hosting technical support team have any ideas

I've found these errors in the administrator error log:

Morning Colin.

I think I've worked out the problem! 

"Select main file" must be checked

Thanks for letting me know.  I should have thought of that simple item but...
