Uploading files

Hello,

I'm having a problem with uploading files with Chronoforms V4. While using the default upload directory:
/content/components/com_chronoforms/uploads
No error occurs when filling the form but the file is not uploaded though.

When using another upload directory I receive this error message:

JFolder::create: Could not create directory
Couldn't create upload directroy 1

Rights on this map are ok (even 777 does not help) but still this does not work. Any clue anybody?

Thanx,

Hugo

PS. I'm using:
1.5.22 DutchJoomla
Chronoforms 4.0 RC 1.7

Hi Hugo,

Try creating the uploads directory yourself if it isn't already there.

I've seen a couple of possible causes. Sometimes with Joomla! 1.5 having the Site FTP enabled caused errors like this; otherwise it can be a permission problem with the folder. Either the FTP user (if FTP is enabled) or the Joomla! User must have write permissions.

Hello Bob,

Thank you for your reply. I did try to create a directory myself with the correct write permissions. Despite this, the result is the error I mentioned earlier. FTP is disabled in Joomla. So there must be something else wrong (bug? host/server configuration?)

Hi Hugo,

By all means email or PM me the site URL and a SuperAdmin login and I'll take a quick look.

I am having the exact same problem as original poster.

I have followed the directions in the tutorial section here:
http://chronoengine.com/tutorials/chronoforms-j15-tutorials/46-6-adding-file-upload-to-a-form.html

I also manually created the folder and set permissions to 755 and then tried 777, but nothing will upload.

My error message is as follows:
* JFTP::mkdir: Bad response
* JFTP::chmod: Bad response
* Couldn't create upload directroy 1
* JFTP::mkdir: Bad response
* JFTP::chmod: Bad response
* JFTP::write: Bad response
* Couldn't create upload directroy 2
* JFTP::mkdir: Bad response
* JFTP::chmod: Bad response
* JFTP::store: Bad response
* Warning! - Failed to move file.

In my case FTP is enabled on Joomla, so I tried to turn it off, but same problem occurred.

When I turned FTP off, the error messages I got were as follows:

* JFolder::create: Could not create directory
* Couldn't create upload directroy 1
* JFolder::create: Could not create directory
* Couldn't create upload directroy 2
* JFolder::create: Could not create directory
* Warning! - Failed to move file.


Warning: file_put_contents(/home/identit/public_html/components/com_chronocontact/uploads/speakers/index.html) [function.file-put-contents]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/wwwamco/public_html/libraries/joomla/filesystem/file.php on line 304

Any idea how to fix it to get uploads working?

Thanks!

Hi webgyrl,

This has to be a problem with permissions. I would expect 755 to be the correct setting. I think this can happen when mod-security is enabled and the Joomla! & FTP users don't have sufficient delegated permissions to write a file. Please check with your ISP or their help docs.

Ok I will check with them. In Joomla sometimes I have an issue with the folder permission being set to "nobody". It's been a persistent problem with all versions of J.

Thanks!
