Title: Well .. i'm stumped (upload to site)
Post by: bron on June 14, 2003, 04:37:04 AM
Well, thanks to advice off others and a long RTFM incident I have managed to get e-smith functioning on my server. However, now i've moved my site onto it i've found that I can't upload any files any more.
if ( !copy($Photo, $upfile)) { echo "Problem: Could not move file into directory, please go back and try again."; exit; }
Which gives the error shown above when try and use it. The path exists so i'm not sure how to trouble shoot this problem. It works on the old server I have just fine. Any advice would be appreciated.

I'm not a pro with www stuff but...if this is a web app (as apposed to someone ftp'ing into the server) the path would be from the root of the webserver, not from the root directory of the server itself. I think your line should read more like:
$upfile = "//files/preupload/".$Photo_name;
or something like that...

It works the way I described it on the version of eSmith i had before as well as in the ibays of 5.6, it's just in the primary files directory where I can't seem to write the files.
Anyone have any suggestions?

What was theold version? Is this a php page? Is this script running from the primary site and trying to put something in the primary site? As of 5.5 "php sandboxing" has been turned on, it will only allow an ibay access to that ibay and so on. Just grasping at straws here, please provide as much details as you can.

Hi Terry, I got around it by making an i-bay for the uploads, works a charm :-).
