    The file will upload to 100%, then it opens a blank upload page. it does not give a success message, nor does it show up in my dropbox. i read a post saying this was potentially a host issue? by the way, this is happening with all files sizes (less than 1mb to over 50mb)

    I am using AWS EC2 server, with Ubuntu 13.04. Thanks so much for your hard work, the plugin looks very promising!!!

    Best,
    Ian

    Most of the time if the file doesn’t make it to dropbox, its due to a firewall on the server thats blocking the outgoing connection to dropbox. In your firewall, Ensure that your allowing outgoing connections to the following IP addresses on Port 443:

    199.47.218.232
    54.225.144.5

    Not sure. Once upon a time I tried to install a WordPress instance on EC2 and kept running into issues and nixed the idea. If I have time this weekend I will give it another go and let you know what I find.

    Got it.

    I had to install UFW, and open up the ports you listed.

    $ sudo apt-get update
    $ sudo apt-get install ufw

    then, make sure that SSH is open and all the other good stuff (be careful! i locked myself out once.)

    then open up the ports you listed.

    finally, make sure CURL is installed!

    Glad to hear you got it sorted out. I will add that to the FAQs.
