Move Items from Database into File System

[Jared867]

What should my path look like for this? I tried "/public_html/mywebsitefolder/myvbfolder/storage/attachments"
I have storage and attachments set to 777 but I keep getting told writing the test file has failed.

On some servers, the directories have to be owned by and in the same group as the webserver users as well. This would be due to additional security layers that hosts sometimes install. You would have to ask your hosting provider if this is necessary and if they can help you with the change.

You can get the correct path a few different ways, a quick and easy way is to look at your phpinfo in the maintenance section of your admincp.

The line noted here: _SERVER["SCRIPT_FILENAME"]

This will show the full path, /home/username/public_html/mywebsitefolder/myvbfolder/storage/attachments

You should be able to use /home/username/attachments depending on server security settings.
