The discussion revolves around an issue with uploading images and files on a Discourse website, with the error message “Invalid service protocol must be ‘_tcp’ or ‘_udp’”.
Johnny_The_OP is experiencing the problem, both as an admin and for other users, and has checked the “Files” settings but remains puzzled. They provided a screenshot of their File settings, showing that S3 is not enabled.
supermathie suggests that the issue may be related to the DNS-SD gem and SRV records, and asks if any changes were made around the time the problem started.
I have a website that runs discourse and in my discourse website/server, people cannot upload photos or send photos because this message pops up: Invalid service protocol must be ‘_tcp’ or ‘_udp’.
Plus, I, an admin, also can’t send or upload images. How can I fix this so that the format does NOT have to be that? Uploading photos and stuff was no problem before but since some time point, it became like that.
I’ve looked through my settings, especially “Files”, but I’m still puzzled about what the problem may be. Could I please get an answer to this?
that is how it looks inside the File settings so… I don’t think so. Does it have to be checked? I did see mentions about “S3” but I had zero idea what it meant.
