    Hello
    When i upload a zip file, nothing happens (sorry for my french), et no error message appears in the page. I can upload zip with maxigallery so i think it’s ok for my configuration php/apache.
    It’s a small zip of less than 4mo, it’s ok with my configuration wich can upload 8MO max by a form...

    Ok, i tried again a few seconds ago and this time it worfs fine with the same zip than yesterday. Strange.
    Anyway thanks for your help !

          I would suspect that your server will not allow a web script to upload files to a folder outside of the web space.

              Depending on how much control you have over your server, you may be able to specifically allow uploads to a given directory above the web space (www, or htdocs, or public_html)

                The path that you provide is relative to the place where the root of the website is. So if your website is located on the filesytem in say "/sites/mywebsite/html" and you provide the path `/home/folder/` then the final path that is used will be /sites/mywebsite/html/home/folder/, which probably does not exist.

                You might be able to use some ../ in your path to get out of your website root. For example when you provide the path "../files" it might be able to write in a folder above the "html" folder in the example. The complete path will be . But I am not sure if the path paramter accepts those .. so you will have to try that yourself.
