Come together with the global Drupal community in Rotterdam, 28 Sept – 1 Oct 2026. Sessions, contribution, connection, and Early Bird savings until 8 June.Has anyone ever gotten this error when deleting a node using the admin/content/node?
warning: rmdir(sites/default/files/video_thumbs//): Directory not empty in /var/www/version.kdid.org/htdocs/sites/all/modules/video/types/uploadfield/uploadfield_file.inc on line 48.
We got it three times in a row. We tested to see if we would get the same error when deleting a node from the node/edit screen. We did not. We returned to the admin/content/node screen and tried to get the error back and it was gone. Suddenly no more errors.
Just curious if this error is just an anomaly or if we have a problem.
ideas?
thanks

hypertext200Seems your server do not allow apache user to delete foldrs, files try
connect to ssh and cd to files and set chown to files, then set apachc user chown on file

Anonymous (not verified) commentedI experience this error here aswell. It's not a file/directory ownership misconfiguration.
Focus: Double slash ("//") and "Directory not empty"

iLLin commentedTry out 4.x as I did a lot of file checking and clean up to make sure all files and folders were removed properly. We need some test cases with people upgrading from 3.x to 4.x anyway. Just do it on a test environment. As soon as we get a few people that have successfully upgraded then I will make a recommended release :)
