Precisely the conclusion I've just arrived at!

Thanks.

Why not just leave it in it's default location then?]]> Fri, 06 Feb 2004 13:40:27 +0000 https://forums.webwiz.net/microsoft-vbscript-runtime-error-800a004_topic9589_post51317.html#51317 <![CDATA[Microsoft VBScript runtime error ’800a004 : Yes, it should work, shouldn&#039;t...]]> https://forums.webwiz.net/microsoft-vbscript-runtime-error-800a004_topic9589_post51316.html#51316 Author: Carlos287

Yes, it should work, shouldn't it? But no matter what I do that different from ../foldername, I get the VBScript error.

I've tried these combinations:

../upload/images
upload/images
/upload/images

Same VBScript error each time.

Obviously I'm not doing something right...

You then need to have a folder called uploads in the root of your site with the said named folders inside.]]> Fri, 06 Feb 2004 13:19:08 +0000 https://forums.webwiz.net/microsoft-vbscript-runtime-error-800a004_topic9589_post51315.html#51315 <![CDATA[Microsoft VBScript runtime error ’800a004 : Thank you -boRg-, and for such...]]> https://forums.webwiz.net/microsoft-vbscript-runtime-error-800a004_topic9589_post51312.html#51312 Author: Carlos287

Thank you -boRg-, and for such a swift reply.

You're right, the paths were wrong. Things now work correctly if I have those directories off of the website root, as in:

../images
../files
../avatars

But, I would prefer to have those folders within a folder called, say, uploads that's off of the root. For instance:

../uploads/images

If I do that, though, it doesn't work: I get the same VBScript error.

Do I need to modify the VBScript to have the directory structure I want? If so, what do I need to do?

Thanks, appreciate your advice.

In the admin area on the upload configuration page you probally have the wrong path to the upload folder as the error suggests theupload folder can not be found.

The path to this upload folder should be a relative file to your mainforum files and be within side the web root of your web site.

Hello everyone. I'm new here, and it's great to be joining this group. Using forums version 7.7.

I have a little problem I hope to get some advice on resolving, to do with file and image uploads.

Settings enabled for such uploads, globally and in individual forums. Here's what happens if I try and include a file or image in a forum post, ie, click the upload button and get the screen to browse for a file and include it, then click on ok:

Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a004c'
Path not found
/customers/forum/functions/functions_upload.asp, line 80

Line 80 in the relevant file says this:

objFSO.CreateFolder(Server.MapPath(strFileUploadPath & "\" & strUserFolderName))

Now, I'm not a programmer, just a non-techie guy who is developing a forum! Does it looks like I'm missing something on my server or got something mis-configufred?

I'd appreciate any advice. Thanks!
