Hi, I have installed the DBFM and I have saved the settings for both DBFM as well as dbfmgreybox
I can see the Database File Manager link and the window... I can even create folders but I can't upload files. When I click on the button to upload file, I get a blank popup window. The source of this window is the following:

<!--#set var="title" value="404 Not Found" -->
<!--#set var="msg" value="The server can not find the requested page:" -->
<!--#include virtual="cp_errordocument.shtml" -->

Sometime ago I had made another installation and somehow I had managed to make it work but I don't recall how. But, even with that installation I have issues... what puzzles me is the fact that although I can upload files, I can't find them in the physical file system, ie. when I search with FTP or ssh... where are they stored?? This is driving me nuts...

What I haven't understood is the difference between Drupal's File System setting and DBFM's root directory setting. By default, the Drupal's file system root path is 'files' while DBFM's path is 'dbfm'. Where should they be respectively?

Thanks for you patience, I am a total noob with Drupal.

Hi Manos,

Have you got clean URLs switched on? What happens when you click on the help button?

You won't find the files in the file system - everything's held in the database (in the tables dbfm_file and dbfm_data).
The dbfm root directory is a purely notional name - it can be anything you want and it will never appear in the file system.
