Full Upload Path: Not Writable

darwin01 07 Jan, 2011
I've tried everything conceivable to get this writable from the standpoint of ChronoForms. The folders that they are supposed to write to permissions are set to 0777, which I believe is the most permissible option available. I've also tried it on another server, but I have the same problem. What gives?

Hi darwin01,

Nothing special, ChronoForms just check the permissions on the folder you have in the path to see if it is writable. I think it uses the Joomla! Jfile methods to check.

Check the path careful to make sure that there are no stray or missing /s.

Try turning off FTP if it is enabled in the site Global Configuration.

Try turrning DeBug on in the Form General tab, then subitting the form and copy and paste the debug messages here (or PM them to me) there may be some clues.

Here's the debug info for the file upload portion of the form:

$_FILES Array: Array ( [Upload_documents] => Array ( [name] => Butler CHAMPSflyer.pdf [type] => application/pdf [tmp_name] => /tmp/phpazpApq [error] => 0 [size] => 740268 ) [addl__file] => Array ( [name] => Butler-Arcflyerproof2.pdf [type] => application/pdf [tmp_name] => /tmp/phplyviar [error] => 0 [size] => 1124771 ) )

Does that tell you anything?

Hi darwin01 ,

That tells me that the file uploaded to the site OK. There should be another bit where ChronoForms reports on trying to relocate it.

No, that's it. It then goes to:
# Form passed the plugins step (if enabled) OK
# An email has been SENT successfully from (Patrick McCarty)__________@evolv-design.com to [email]__________@evolv-design.com[/email]
# An email has been SENT successfully from (Patrick McCarty)__________@evolv-design.com to [email]__________@evolv-design.com[/email]
# Debug End

(I left out my email address since this is a public forum. Thanks for your quick responses! If you can help, there's definitely a beer in it for you.)

Hi darwin01,

By all means email or PM me the site URL and a SuperAdmin login and I'll take a quick look. (It's past midnight here so it won't be until tomorrow now.)

Hi darwin01,

It's working now (at least the first input is).

There were a couple of little things:[list]
  • You had a 'url' in the File upload path box instead of a file 'path'. There's an example path just under the boxes.
  • The input name of the first file input is Upload_documents, not upload_documents
  • [/list]

    PS I installed exTplorer to see the uploaded files and check te folder permissions, it's a free Joomla! extension, please keep or uninstall as you like.
