Couldn't create upload directroy

Hello,

I switched from Joomla 1.5 to Joomla 2.5.4 on the same server doing an new installation. I backuped and restored my form (4.0 RC3.4.1). In the new Joomla 2.5 I can't upload and send a file.

JFolder::create: Endlosschleife erkannt
Couldn't create upload directroy 1

/httpdocs/logs (Protokollverzeichnis) Beschreibbar
/httpdocs/tmp (Temp-Verzeichnis) Beschreibbar

tmp ist set to 777

What could be wrong?

Hi netwa,

What upload folder have you specified in the Upload Files action?

Is FTP enabled in the Site Global Configuration? If so please try disabling it temporarily.

Bob

There is no section to specify an upload directory. Where should it be?
I tried both, FTP enabled and disabled.

Hi netwa,

Please upgrade to the current version.

Bob

I downloaded the newest Version from http://www.chronoengine.com/downloads/chronoforms/chronoformsj1/142-component.html, see my first post - V4 RC3.4.1. I don't find any newer version.

Hi netwa,

That is the most recent release and I've checked that in both 1.5 and 2.5 installations and in the distribution files there is the Upload Path box.

I have no idea why you don't see it :-(

I reinstalled the component, same issue. 😟

If I check the code in Firebug, there is also no hidden field. Can I set the path manual? I changed the rights to 777 on the path in your example ../components/com_chronoforms/upload, also added a subdirectory Jobs, but same error.

I also installed the component on a Joomla Version 1.7.3 and another Joomla! 2.5.3, same problem - no path field.

"Wizard edit" -> "File Uploads" ist the only way to get there?

😟 😟 😟

Hi netwa,

Ah! I understand, you are using the Easy Wizard and there is no box in that. I guess that it must default to the components/com_chronoforms/uploads/ folder.

If you switch to the Form Wizard (there's a Form Wizard Mode option on the form General Tab) then you will see the screen I posted in the Upload Files action.

Bob

Perfect, many THX. I have never needed the advanced mode.
However I don't find the upload field like on your image, the "Files Uploads" tab is now missing. 😢 But I got the settings fur file upload in the event. In my case there was the old path from the exported web saved. I changed it to the new location and not it works. 😀

Hi netwa,

I think you found it anyhow. But in case you didn't. The Easy Wizard has tabs - in the Advanced Wizard they are replaced by actions. In fact the Easy Wizard just hides the actions behind the tabs.

The Upload Files action is where you will now find the configuration.

You will also probably have a lot of actions that are not being used; you can safely check and delete those if you want to tidy up.
