Hi, this is a cry for help.
It’s a problem with file manager, in particualr I think paths or permissions. I’ve just spent a few hours going through similar posts and responses mostly from 2005 & 2008, following the advice given, but can’t find an answer that solves it.
I have 2 ModX sites, built in 2004. On each, the image upload facility stopped working about 18 months ago. The one site I’ve been working on - which everything below refers to - I’ve just updated to the 7th June 2010 release of Evo 1.04 (great work, thank you).
1) Image upload using tinymce:
If I browse for a local image file and try to upload I get the error "Disallowed file type". That’s for standard .jpgs of .gifs of under 50k file size.
2) File Manager problem:
In Elements > Manage Files, the Assets folder shows as empty.
On the server this includes all the normal folders, including ’images’, and the site displays images within http://
www.mydomain.com/assets/images/
The 2 warning messages shown are:
"Invalid path "/usr/home/vegfam/public_html/assets/"" and
"Upload feature inhibited - make sure uploads are supported and the directory is writable for PHP."
In Tools > Configuration > Interface & Features:
’File base path’ and ’File Browser URL’ are both set to ’/’.
(I’ve variously tried setting ’File base path’ to
/usr/home/
sitename/public_html/
/home/
sitename/public_html/assets/
/home/
sitename/public_html/assets/images)
In Tools > Configuration > File Manager:
’File Manager Path’ is set to /usr/home/
sitename/public_html/assets/ ( I’ve also tried /usr/home/
sitename/public_html/ )
All the file types I’m trying to upload are included in ’Uploadable File Types’
The .htaccess is set to ’www’, and I’m using
http://www.mydomain/manager/
Folder permissions are set to ’777’
In ’Security > Manage Users > User’, my account is set to a Max Upload Size of 500000.
’File Base Path’ and ’File Base URL’ are again set to ’/’.
The php.info() file includes these values:
include_path [local value]
.:/usr/share/php:/usr/share/pear:/home/sitename/public_html/manager/includes/
include_path [master value]
.:/usr/share/php:/usr/share/pear
open_basedir [local value]
no value
open_basedir [master value]
no value
What other information I can get:
Web Server:
* PHP 5.2
* Apache
* Linux
Database:
* MySQL 5.0.22
MODx:
* Version 1.0.4
* basic template changes, no changes since before this stopped working,
* standard install Snippets
* tinyMCE 3.3.5.1, Managermanager 0.3.8 , QuickManager 1.3.4.1
Browser/Client:
* Firefox 3.6.12 / IE7
* XP SP2
I’m missing something, and I can’t find it or can’t see it! It’s driving me mad.
thanks
Michael
