Uploaded files not on server

How to fix uploaded files not saving on the server in ChronoForms.

Overview

The issue occurs when the specified upload folder path is incorrect, often due to an unexpected folder structure.
Enable form debug in the form settings to view the correct upload path, then adjust the folder path in the upload field settings to match the debug output.

Hello,

I ran into a problem when I tried to create a file upload field in a form. The form sends the messages with the attached files to the recipient, but there are no files saved on the server.
I use these settings:
Uploaded files not on server image 1

And I have created a folder named "uploads" at the root. But no files appear on the server after submitting the form. What do I do wrong?

I use this a lot in v5 without any problems, so there must be something I miss. Do I need to change something at the tab "Permissions"?

{path:front} is not the root. It's /.../srvrhomepath/site/components/com_chronoforms6/

Thanks!
But I still can't store the files on the server.
I created this folder:
Uploaded files not on server image 2

Even if the files are correctly attached to the message (and is delivered to the recipient) there are still no files in the server folder.
So I must miss something, perhaps something in the settings?

Best regards

Enable the form debug under the form settings, what does the debug show ? it should show the uploaded files path

It works!

There was one more folder level than I thought. This is the right path:

public_html/components/com_chronoforms6/chronoforms/uploads/

instead of:

public_html/components/com_chronoforms6/uploads/

which I had expected.

I'll remember that the debugger is extremly valuable 🙂
