Trying to upload a .PEM file for push to an app and i get this error: Invalid File Type. .pem files only. I made the file as it should be from help docs on BT site.. Any Clue?

I ran into this problem and it bugged the heck out of me for a while! Turns out I had to change browsers. It "should" work just fine in FF, Safari or Chrome, but IE seems to have issues. It's completely a matter of the browser recognizing the pem file type. Try different browsers until it works! Safari ended up doing the trick for me. Mark

i am on Macbook Air, trying in chrome and safari, no luck.. Strange.. i just renewed my membership, can it be some in my account profile?

Like I mentioned, it's not related to your Buzztouch membership, or even the Apple Developer membership. Now that you mention using a Mac, that's the platform I was having problems with as well. As soon as I switched over to a browser on Windows, it worked just fine (though I still think I had to try a couple browsers). Hopefully you have access to a Windows machine. It's all related to the browser recognizing the .pem file type. I've seen mention of this on stackoverflow.com as well, but haven't delved in to a fix yet. Mark

getting frustrated now, tried ie, ff,chrome,safari on both mac and windows pc, same error.. grrr

Perhaps you have a bad PEM File? Is the error such that it won't upload? Self-hosted? If yes, are the file and directory Read-write permissions correct in the BT installation?

i followed the help document on the BT site to make the PEM file, it is made correctly, when i click upload it says that i can only upload a .pem file, and i am trying to upload abcdef.pem

this is on the BT site, not the self hosted

This bugged me for a while as well, and then eventually it uploaded on the Windows machine. I know I tried many frustrating times. I have no idea how to fix it, unfortunately. :-( Mark

This is the fix from TimWolf It happened to me and worked to fix it. You will need to go through ftp FIXED: In BT-server/bt_v15/bt_app change line 431 of file: bt_pushNotifications.php <<OLD>> //if(strtolower($userfile_type) != "application/octet-stream" || strtolower($file_ext) != "pem"){ <<NEW>> if(strtolower($userfile_type) != "application/x-x509-ca-cert" || strtolower($file_ext) != "pem"){ If you want to see how the old code was broken; I inserted this line to get visible output in the control panel that showed what the variables were set to. It was then apparent where the mismatch was: $strMessage = "<br/>file_ext is: " . $file_ext . " filename is: " . $filename . " userfile_type is: " . $userfile_type; -Tim

FYI, this is now fixed on buzztouch.com
