File upload Problems

[matteo lucarelli]

The installation of adodb needs only a user permission on your own server home.
The files can be put inside the letoDMS directory. Le lastest version of letoDMS includes yet the Adobd directory then nothing should be done there.

Your problem can be due to a uncorrect "data" folder settings (the folder where DMS put the files) or inc/inc.Settings.php.
The settings file is completely commented, then read the comment to modify it.

Have a look to the HOWTO section of the forum too.

[alekseyn]

I had this error, and it was simply because I had NO folder with the name "data" in the root on my leto DMS installation ....
matteo is right - you either create this folder, or change the setting in inc/inc.Settings.php

(Matteo, we probably need to either create this folder in the distribution pack, or change the settings file in it, to avoid confusing people)

[spacecop]

thx to you both.
I created a data folder with CHMOD 777 (/users/schule/www/1/data/) and modified the inc/inc.Settings.php.

And I have still the error message.

Any suggestions?

Ok, is just a test:

try myDMS

admin/admin

[alekseyn]

please copy the exact error message in your reply

---

you have an incorrect setting in our inc/inc.Settings.php.

Please make sure you use the full path in your log folder setting...

if still no luck, attach your settings file here... I'll check it.

[spacecop]

The exact error message is

Warning: fopen(/download/20100809.log) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /users/schule/www/1/inc/inc.Utils.php on line 244

Warning: fwrite() expects parameter 1 to be resource, boolean given in /users/schule/www/1/inc/inc.Utils.php on line 245

Warning: fclose() expects parameter 1 to be resource, boolean given in /users/schule/www/1/inc/inc.Utils.php on line 246

I think I'm to stupid to make the correct settings...

Here is my inc.settings.php

I hope you find the error because this script is perfect for my intent.
Thanks for your very, very good support and your patience!!!!

make sure you have a "download" directory in your "/users/schule/www/1/" folder and the folder is writable by the server "755" or "777"

I uploded your inc-Settings.php to my webspace.
I already have a folder "download" chmod 777.

When I try to upload a pdf-file the following error message appears:

Warning: is_dir() [function.is-dir]: open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/users) is not within the allowed path(s): (/users/schule/temp:/users/schule/www) in /users/schule/www/1/inc/inc.FileUtils.php on line 61

Its a better result as before
only one error message!!

[alekseyn]

hmmm....

please read here... http://www.mydigitallife.info/2007/03/15...ect-error/

if you are using your server, then you might know what to do... if you are using the hosting service, please contact them with your error...

[spacecop]

The support from my hoster denied any responsibility for that problem. It says that it is a script problem.

phpinfo shows

open_basedir /users/schule/temp:/users/schule/www /users/schule/temp:/users/schule/www (local value/master value)

is there a solution to by-pass this problem?

I'm a little bit stranded becouse you said its a hosting problem, the hoster says its a script problem...

[matteo lucarelli]

Your settings seem ok and the error message MUST be a hosting issue.
You should try to move the "data" directory somwhere else?
Are you shure that www is a real directory? Not a link?
In the latter case the path in the settings must be correct with the real path.
