question regarding vbdownloads value directory error.

[Dark Lycan]

ok so I have it installed vbdownloads I mean but when I go to configure it it gives me an error the says this.


You did not enter a valid value for this setting.

NOTE: We recommend that you set this outside of your public_html folder to prevent leeching.
Setting this value incorrectly will cause uploading and downloading to fail.

what is that error trying to tell me and how can I fix and get rid of it is my question?:confused:

It means to set your upload folder to something above public_html ie...

/home/username/public_html

So upload dir would go in /home/username/upload

But not all setups allow usage of a folder in that location to be usable to a outside webpage either, also, you may need to set that folder & its sub folders to 777
