Hi!

Every time I go to /admin two instances of the following error are generated in the cPanel error log:

"[Mon Jun 14 14:16:22 2010] [error] [client --IP ADDRESS LEFT OUT--] client denied by server configuration: /home/xxx/public_html/files/private/privacy_test.txt"

If I uncheck the Private Upload module on the Modules page, the error goes away. After I have checked it again, the error returns.

How can I get rid of this error?

What is the path to you private folder? (relative to your doc root)

Hey Shiny!

Not entirely sure what you mean. Just the path? It's...

ROOT DIRECTORY/files/private/privacy_test.txt

Thanks for the info - so the module is functioning correctly, but also logging an error whenever it correctly denies access to a file.

is that right?

Correct.

I notice that the errors generated when I as a user, without the correct access rights, try to access a privately uploaded file have my computer's ip address as the client address, while the errors generated when I go to /admin have the server's address as the client address. If that provides any clue. :)
