Attachment Storage Type --> Move Attachments from Database into File System

[modem]

i just upgrade 2.30 to 3.0 and all seemed successfully. only one mess me: when i goto admincp to change " Attachment Storage Type --> Move Attachments from Database into File System " and i fill the path as a folder that i had created before: E:/Apache/htdocs/forum/attachments and then i click "go" button. it said:

We are ready to attempt to move your Attachments from the Database to the Filesystem...

after this i click "go" button again. it just gave error message like below:

Error Writing D:/Apache/htdocs/forum/attachments/47. You Can See More Information Above

so if i go to create a folder called: 47 in /attachments manually. the convert steps can go on but same error with next:

Error Writing D:/Apache/htdocs/forum/attachments/8. You Can See More Information Above

im wondering how i can fix this error? thanks in advance.

Is the attachments directory chmod'd to at least 700?

[modem]

I use windowsXP on local machine . so I don't think it matters with folder attributes(CHMOD)

[Freddie Bingham]

Is your PHP running in Safe Mode?

[modem]

I am sure its not running in safe mode

[Freddie Bingham]

Are you sure? What does your phpinfo say about safe mode? It is failing when it is trying to create directories.

[modem]

this is a ss of my phpinfo right now.

What does 'file_uploads' show?

P.S. If this is a Windows server, what does 'upload_tmp_dir' show? (Or you could just provide the link.)

I use windowsXP on local machine . so I don't think it matters with folder attributes(CHMOD)Maybe not CHMOD but you DO need to set the right permissions on the temp directory and the attachment directory. Your IUSR_Blah account needs to be able to write to, and delete from those dirs. If not, then no attachment is going to make it through.

upload_tmp_dir
d:\php\uploadtmp d:\php\uploadtmp

Your IUSR_Blah account needs to be able to write to,
I didn't see that account on xp system usergroup

I got the same error on a Linux Server.

This is the exact error message (which is normally not shown):
Warning: Wrong parameter count for mkdir() in /var/www/forum/includes/functions.php on line 87

So, when you edit includes/functions.php, line 87:if (@mkdir($vboptions['attachpath'] . '/' . $userid)) // Created dirby replacing the above line with this:if (@mkdir($vboptions['attachpath'] . '/' . $userid, 0777)) // Created direverything works fine.

Ahh thanks
Note: Mode is ignored on Windows, and became optional in PHP 4.2.0.

[modem]

after that... i really have no any idea. so i try to upgrade to PHP 4.3 and then all is ok now. so it means vB3 cannot run well on PHP 4.12...? i dont think so. finally :) thanks u all so patiently help.
