attachment issue

[ChyK]

I have moved servers and everything is working well for now except attachment uploads. After reading the threads with the similar issues when uploading a file the message states:

File system directory is not writable however:

./attachments directory CHMOD is set at 777

Stats:

Total Attachments 561
Disk Space Used 9.87 MB
Storage Type Attachments are currently being stored in the filesystem at ./attachments
Average Attachment Filesize 18.0 KB
Total Downloads 11,421


Diagnostic Results:

file_uploads: On
open_basedir: /var/www/vhosts/thesobervillage.com/httpdocs:/tmp
safe_mode: Off
upload_tmp_dir: None
upload_max_filesize: 20.00 MB

No errors occurred while opening the uploaded file for reading.


What other suggestions are there to trouble shoot I'm missing?

You need to specific a full path to the attachments folder.

[ChyK]

I entered the full path and still getting this and I've checked over and over and this file /forums/attachments is CHMOD'd to 777.

We attempted to write a test file to http://www.thesobervillage.com/httpd...ms/attachments, but we were unsuccessful. Please verify that the web server has write/delete permissions for this path.

At this point do I need to contact the hosting service?

[Zachery]

No, it needs to be a FULL path, like


/home/httpdocs/forums/attachments.

If you dont know the full path to your root folder ask your webhost.

Well i am also having a problem with this issue.. I just transferred my forum over to another server too and everything works but i'm getting a error message saying the File System isn't Writable, when it is set too 777.. And the root directory is the full path: /home/druid217/attachments So now i'm confused on whats going on and why its not working when trying to upload attachments.. Can someone please help me.. Thanks

[ChyK]

Make sure you chmod to 777 the sub-directories if there.
