upload code help

New Member Joined: Oct 01, 2003 Posts: 10

i own a sig site now and i am inserting a file uploader to the site.

i do not wish for the files to be saved to the database though from the owner i have been told to make the link change and upload to the directory he used to use.

here is the current coding:

# the upload store directory (chmod 777)
$dir = "store";

how do i alter this to have it to save this on the webpage ??

or could anyone point me in the direction of a uploader that will allow me to upload to a site directory base function instead of my site database ???

looks to me like a folder permission problem check your chmod settings to make sure it is the same as what the installation requires

Posted: Sat Oct 04, 2003 5:13 pm

the coding from what i have read doesnt mention anything about the chmod settings, there aint a readme or install file with the program either

Posted: Sat Oct 04, 2003 5:16 pm

Start by making them all 775 then go to 777 would be my guess.

Posted: Sat Oct 04, 2003 5:19 pm

nope, nothing happens i had already tried that, i am trying to get in contact with the maker and find out if he knows the problem as this seems a very good thing to use with allowing the user a certain amount of space along with his own folder with work

It would have been nice to have a readme file attached. It would be nice to get this going. I am also looking for a decent program to enable my users to upload images to their messages in the forums. I have a "Trading Post" that i operate.

This exists. I think it's at http://portedmods.com, but I can't remember for sure.

ok i found out what has happened on the first error

Code:

Warning: opendir(): open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/modules/My_Uploads/user_folders/ruffleader) is not within the allowed path(s): (/home/innovat:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php:/tmp) in /home/innovat/public_html/thesigsite/modules/My_Uploads/index.php on line 218

It is not allowing to create a directory with the usersname i created one by hand and it worked and the error went away.
working on the second and third errors now.
Thanks
Fury

ok that has fixed it all from what i see you must have read and write access all the way thru to the modules directory

Modules 775
My_Uploads 775
user_folders 777
Your named folder 777

this is what i could only come up with hopefully someone else knows more and posts.
thanks
Fury

right so just add a folder for each user and that should solve the first problem yeah and also thanks for the help fury very grateful

Just for clarification, that is what I was suggesting here. Ruff, you said you tried it and it didn't work?

Posted: Sat Oct 04, 2003 6:31 pm

Yes, i created a directory and it seems ok now.

Also, regarding the "File Attachment Mod 2". I downloaded it from Portedmods. The only thing is there is alot of code to edit. Im a little nervous editing as im scared to screw up the board. Its a slow process.We'll see.

That's how they do most of their modifications. You edit code.

Posted: Sun Oct 05, 2003 6:07 am

where abouts on the ported mods site is this File Attachment Mod 2

Posted: Sun Oct 05, 2003 6:47 am

well i have got mine now fully working, thanks for your help.

i found that after i added the folders and change the chmod on the folders things seemed to load partly better.

after this in the main admin section the upload folder section said /modules/my_uploads/user_uploads/

so i took out the ' / ' before modules and everything seemed to work after that.
