View Full Version : Screwy Path Problem?

Since "the big change" by PowWeb that screwed up my invision board, I have not been able to attach any images to a post in our forums.

Looking in the error logs, it shows that the server is looking for an incorrect path. Here's the log entry:

[error] [client 68.33.250.206] File does not exist: /www/g/f/hostname/htdocs/forums/uploads/garage_gallery-24-1086703870.jpg

I can't figure out where that extra "/f/" is coming from. Does anyone else know why that extra sub-dir in the path is being inserted automagically by the server behind the scenes?

Note, the path that I use -everywhere- is /www/g/hostname /htdocs/forums/uploads/... I did attempt to use the /f/ path intentionally and doing so just broke everything.

Any thoughts?

(and btw, yes I did search these forums and I've been rtfm'ing for a week)

I do have my own local php.ini and I set the temp variable to my local dir. I have also tried using the "localhost.hostname" format and that hasn't worked for me at all.

There are two root path options - as you can see in OPS

/www/u/user/htdocs
/www/d/o/domain.com/htdocs

I suggest you use the domain one rather than the user one:

ok

well that path must not be my problem then because neither of the paths make my image uploads work.

thanks for your reply
