    I’m trying to move a site from my local dev machine to GoDaddy (I know, I know... not my decision though)
    I get this error when trying to upload images/files through TinyMCE.
    I’ve no idea what is going on.
    I think my resource path/file path must be wrong, but I’ve no idea what they should be. When I moved the data over, they were set to a D:\ address from my machine.
    I’ve CMOD the file permissions to 777 for everything, so that should be good.
    Anyone know what could be the problem? I’m more than a little stumped.
    Thanks for any help.

      Go to Reports -> System Info, and click on the View link for phpinfo(). Scroll to the bottom, and look for the _SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"] entry; that will tell you what the path should be. The URL can probably just be "assets/"; that usually works just fine.

      If you are using Evolution 1.0 RC3, this information is also on the System Info page along with the database information.
