Web file manager not working?

By pearlyred on 9 Jan 2007 at 00:36 UTC

Hi,

I've just installed Web File Manager to experiment with in the hopes of making the admin UI a little more intuitive for our future moderators. It all seems to be installed properly, except I think I am having issues with the directory paths/permissions. I cannot create a new directory under the webfm structure and get an error when trying to upload files.

In admin->settings->file system settings I have 'File System Path' set as 'files'. This folder exists as '/files/ in the root web directory.

In admin->settings->webfm I have 'Root directory' set as '/webfm' and 'Root FTP directory' set as '/webfm-ftp'. These folders exist as '/files/webfm' and '/files/webfm-ftp' in the root web directory.

If I go into admin->webfm and try to create a new folder nothing happens. The module is all loaded, and 'administrator' has permissions for it under 'access control'.

This is all running on a development server (localhost). TinyMCE is installed and working so I dont think its a JS problem?

Anyone have any ideas why this may not be working?

I've not installed this yet, so can't comment, but I suspect you would be better posting your issues to the project directly rather than here, so that the maintainer can respond directly to you. This module (IIRC?) is still under development so may not be completely reliable yet.

Please use the project page

Please submit bugs/issues to the project page. This module is brand new and has been extensively tested only in a few locations. I have it working on my local windows apache (netserver) and it functions well on the FreeBSD and Linux servers used by Web Networks. Setting the proper permissions for the root directories is important for linux/bsd servers.

Your settings appear to be fine. I'm not sure what you mean by 'nothing happens'. Do you see nothing or is what you see non-functional?

If you get an account at webfm.web.ca you can see the module as well as inspect all the settings.

I have the same problem as pearlyred

I have the same problem as pearlyred. Things are installed correct and the directories exist with the right permissions, but it gives an "Invalid upload path" error.

Please submit bugs/issues to the project page.

There is no discussion forums on the project page, since the link takes me back to the main drupal forums. That is one of the bizarro things about this site that I have never figured out. If I don't know enough to post an issue or bug, where are I supposed to comment?
