I guess I have everything installed correctly, at the first glance everything's working fine:

  • file upload works
  • file browsing/listing works

But:

  • the first upload doesn't appear in the filelist immediately - I have to manual refresh the view to see the file
  • the second upload doesn't work at all - nothing's transferred to the webfm-directory. When refreshing the whole page (or navigating to another node) I receive the status messages for the processed actions: one "Upload success" (for the first upload I assume) and another "Invalid upload path"
  • there are some oddities when working with subdirs - when I change to a subdirectory and press the refresh-button webfm takes me back to the webfm-rootdir (one time it was vice versa also - took me back from rootdir to subdir)

Leaving the "session", i.e. navigating to another node, and "restarting" webfm that way resets the behaviour, that is I can upload one more file.

I think I have configured everything correctly ... proof of concept is there - it works for the first upload.

  • Permissions are 775/664 - gid = apache-group.
  • Directory settings:
    • webfm-root = /webfm
    • webfm-ftp = /webfm-ftp
    • For the Drupal filesystem-setting I tried both, relative and absolute path for files dir - didn't change anything.
  • Running Linux/Drupal 5.1/Apache 2.0.54/PHP 5.0.4/MySQL 4.1.13.

Well, something's really gone wrong. I hope you can point me to what causes such behaviour or anything that helps me get webfm running. It seems like a really cool and desired module and I'd like to see it working on my company's site.

Regards, Matze

The subsequent upload issue in the 5.0 version is already known. This isn't an issue for the 4.7 version and I haven't had the time yet to trace the problem. If multiple file uploads are critical, using the ftp staging area is the preferred route.

The refresh button behaviour is flakey (something I just noticed myself this morning). The introduction of caching has had some side effects (search current directory is broken too). I will attend to this as well as make the caching more useful and efficient - currently the cache is flushed with any move/delete/rename operation and is only useful for browsing. An improved design will refresh the listings only when necessary.
