Hi everyone. I am installing the Forum in my site and I am currently configurating everthing so that users can start to post in it. One of the things I would like to them to be able to do is to upload files and images, since this forum should be a kind of exchange forum. For some reason it does not work. I configured the forum so that it uses the SoftArtisans FileUp 3.2 or above (SA FileUp), since this is what my server provider told me. He said they have version 3.32 installed. I was hoping to find out if I could upload a image here, but this function is not enabled in this forum (understandable), nore in the test forum (witch is strange). What happends in my forum is that after having selected the image (or file, zip for example) y clic on "OK", then Ok again in the window that warns me that I should whait untill the upload is finished, and after that the uploading window goes blank, after a while the page becomes the tippical IE error page.
So, now I don't know what happens. All directories are created and well configurated (this means: directory "uploads" exists).... Does any one have a clue on what could be happening???? ------------- Tommy. |

you say tipical IE error page. please make sure HTTP friendly errors messages are turnerd off and show us the actual error. note 4004 (page not found) and 500 (error) are very simular looking it may be your folder you are uploading to doesn't have read,write and modify permssions enabled on it. |

I think you may be right... I have to check now.. for the moment I can copy the message I become, that seams to be what you are suggesting..
Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a0046'
Permission denied /otis/forum/functions/functions_upload.asp, line 80 So I will check permitions now. I'll tell you later.. Thanks for the help. ------------- Tommy. |

Well it seams like it is definitly a permissions problem. The "strUserFolderName" could not be created. I tried to chang the folders permitions with my FTP program but I gess I am doing something wrong because the permissions do not change. So I whent into the folder and created the "administrator" folder, since I supposed that this would be the uploads folder for the administrator. I gess it is, since after I did this, an other error occured, witch is by all means part of the same problem: SoftArtisans.SAFile.1 error '80070005' Creation of cached file failed. Please check the NTFS permissions for the directory path "d:\www\www159\otis\forumDEU\uploads\administrator". This directory requires Read, Write and Delete permissions by the anonymous user ( NT account: IUSR_computername ) and/or by your authenticated users.Access is denied. So I gess I will have to resolve this permissions problem and then it should work. Thanks again, and if I manage to change the permissions and it does still not work you will hear from me again.. ------------- Tommy. |

With a Windows web server you can not change permissions by FTP (you
can only do this with Linux), you need to contact your hosting company
and get them to change the permissions.

Yes, I realized about that after I tried to do the same thing with the windows explorer and a message saing that the "server does not support changing file permissions" appeared.
So now I am writing to my server administrator (who is not verry klever since I tryed to resolve this problem with him before I wrote my problem in this forum) and I hope they can give me a solution.
Thank you very much dj air and -boRg-, hopefully I will have no more problems. ------------- Tommy. |

you need ot do it from admin level.. if your the host/ own server you
can do it. else you may have to get your host to do so for you. i believe people that use webshell are able to do it though that also. |

As said before along this topic you can only do it by your self if your server provider uses a unix server. If on the other hand it uses a windows server, you will have to ask your host suport to change the permissions for you. This is asuming you don't own or administrate the hosting server. In any case be sure that the permissions are set to the "uploads" folder and to all subfolders so that allso new subfolders (created by the forum) recive this kind of permissions. My server provider forgot to do that today, so I can only write or create folders in "uploads" but not in "uploads/administrator" (for example).
Regards, and good luck!! ------------- Tommy. |

| Your server host needs to assign modification permission as well as read & write to the upload folder. |
