RN 2.52 issue: elfinder no readable volumes

Posted: Fri May 10, 2019 11:04 am

I have done a brand new install of 2.52 and have an issue when I go to make a message to be shown on the home page of the site. I attempted to put an image in the message and I upload the image to server. When I click on browse then it pops up the error message I have posted.

Thanks for reporting this. Did you checked the permissions of the directory: uploads? Please try to set CHMOD 755 recrussively to this directory.

That is what the permissions are set to neralex. At least when I click on properties of that folder it shows that is what it is.

Have all files and sub-folders inside the same CHMOD setting?

When I attempt to send a pic up to the server, it says it is sent but does not show up in the uploads folder. I manually uploaded image into the uploads folder and set permissions to 755 and still have same error message given.

I can't reproduce it because on all my installations on my local server and also on this linux-box - it works as expected. The error-message occures only, if your webserver can't get access to /uploads/-folder. One reason could be a wrong CHMOD-setting in the related folder structure or if you changed the variable $uploadpath in rnconfig.php.

This is the upload path listed in my rnconfig.php file that is as it was unzipped from the one I downloaded.

// To override the default uploads/ folder used for storing files uploaded
// through nukeWYSIWYG via FCKeditor's filemanager.
// This should have a slash at the beginning and a slash at the end (e.g. '/files/') and is relative to the URL without subdirectories
$uploadpath = ' ';

the [b] and [u] were added by me when I posted this.... Smile

Ok, if the folder: /uploads/ exists and this folder has CHMOD 755 incl. for all subdirs and files (recrussively), then you have a issue with the READ/WRITE permissions on your webserver.

Humm, any other folder I have such as one that I call pics I can call up a pic in a post in the forums ok. I even went in an made a post calling up a pic that I manually put in the uploads folder and could call it up in a post and display it ok. Something doesn't make sense to me. It seems to me that the only issue I am having is through the editor, hope that this makes sense Neralex?

Did you tested it with another browser like Firefox or Chrome or only with Microsoft's Edge? I tested it with the latest Edge, Firefox and Chrome on Windows. I also tested with Safari, Firefox and Chrome on the latest macOS High Sierra build. With all current OS- and browser-builds I'm not able to reproduce it. It works on all platforms as expected.

You can try to clear your browser-cache, re-login as admin and paste the shown link in the poped up "File Manager" window into a new browser-tab. Before you are pressing ENTER to load the pasted link, press F12 to open the DEV-Tools, click on the "console" tab and click at next on the sub-tab "Errors". Then press enter and check, if an error-message occures.

Yes I have cleared out cache and relogged in several times. I also tried Firefox with the same message popping up. I think I followed your directions and tried what you said but there was no error messages that I saw in the list. I have went back and looked at the uploads folder and made sure it was set to 755. If I manually enter the url in the box instead of clicking on the browse server button it called up the pic as it should this time. Sorry Neralex, at this time I am stumped as to why it pops up that message when clicking on the browse server button.

I found the issue. It was my fault. Wink

The reason why elfinder throws this error: there are no sub-folders inside the upload-folder. The folders were not added to the GIT repository, because they are simply empty. I added now an .gitignore file in the sub-folders, so I was able to push it to the branches of the repo.

You can create simply the following folders:

/uploads/file
/uploads/flash
/uploads/image
/uploads/media

Ater that you can set the CHMOD-setting: 755 again to the uploads-folder recrussively for all files and sub-folders inside and it should work. The .gitignore files are only needed for GIT. So you can delete it or leave it, if it works.

Thank you for staying strong - it has helped me to find the right way. Wink

Awesome Neralex! I will give that a try later today.... Smile

EDIT:
I delayed getting my day going and just tried it. It worked Neralex! Smile

Now with that said I have encountered a new issue with it. It maybe a user problem since I am not familiar with elfinder lol. I assume that I highlight a pic shown to be available and right click and hit select to place the image. When I do this it pops up the following:

neralex: not existing image removed

Try this modification in the elfinder.php:

Yeah, nice! Thanks for testing. If you should find more issues with elfinder, then post it here in this thread.
