How do I control security of uploaded documents? I'd like to restrict who can view or access the files in the /uploads/ folder but the form still needs to function normally.

Hi vistech,

If you can, choose an upload folder that is outside the domain. That is the most secure solution. Depends on your hosting setup if you can do that though.

I have tried this without success. I adjusted the open_basedir setting to allow /var/www/vhosts/domain.com/private/uploads/ and changed the file uploads folder to the same location. I checked permissions and ownership of the folder and phpinfo() to be sure open_basedir was set correctly. Ideas?

Hi vistech,

Only to use the Debugger and server logs to see what is actually happening. There will probably be an error message somewhere.

Chronoforms debugger didn't show any errors. What am I looking for in the server logs?

Ho vistech,.

Clues about why the upload isn't working the way you want it to.
