    When uploading a GPS track from my garmin GPS I get the following error in the browser console (partly copied here):
    —-

    <body>
<div id="header"><h1>Server Error</h1></div>
<div id="content">
 <div class="content-container"><fieldset>
  <h2>404 - File or directory not found.</h2>
  <h3>The resource you are looking for might have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.</h3>
 </fieldset></div>
</div>
</body>
</html>

    The GPX file has been uploaded and is available. User rights on website are OK. FYI: website is running on windows server (IIS8).

    How to fix this?

  • mhhh – strange. So if I undertand you correctly, the URL to the gpx file can be called manually in the browser, but when accessed from the plugin′s backend, you get the error above, right?
    the default-wordpress-wp_remote_get()-function is used to retrieve the GPX file from the GPX URL.
    Perhaps having a look into IIS8 logfiles might give additional infos what went wrong here…
    best,

    Found the issue!

    On windows based webservers (IIS) it is required to define a mime type for GPX files, either via the control panel provided by the hosting company or by tweaking the web.config file:

    <configuration>
<system.webServer>
<staticContent>
<mimeMap fileExtension=".gpx" mimeType="application/octet-stream" />
</staticContent>
</system.webServer>
</configuration>

    In y case I could set it via the hosting company’s control panel.

    great to hear!
