What am I doing wrong?

I want to upload a pdf files

I have

• created a template for pages/documents that publish the PDF files
• created a TV for that with the following options:
  [list]
  [li]Input Type: file
• Option Values: (blank)
• Default Value: (blank)
• Widget: (blank)
• Allowed access to that template

[/li]
[li]Created a document, made it a container, set its template to be the template I created[/li]
[li]Right clicked container and created new document(Template variable is visible)[/li]
[li]Selected insert, browsed and tried to upload[/li]
[li]I get the error: "Failed to upload, internal error..."[/li]
[/list]

Where have I gone wrong?

Had a look on the rights in the specified directory to open/read/write files?
Maybe you lack the rights to wirte to that dir, so MODx isn´t allowed to put that file up to your server?

Just guessing what´s wrong... Without having a look at your server / your configuration I´m not able to tell you how your issue might be solved...

Cheers

Thank-you for assisting. I think I will look for an alternative.
