Trafix,

Having open_basedir restriction in effect problem ... please see post #255 ... thanks.

you you can upload in the admin area but not the user end

Thank you for your reply.

Are you re-confirming my problem?

OR are you stating that there is no way around this problem to allow user uploads?

hmmm, im trying to assertain more information ;)

Have you tried just putting "tmp" in the media folder field in the admin options?

As the script will use this in the relative path

Yes, I tried "tmp" and "/tmp" and "./tmp".
No go, I'm afraid.

have you done a test out of safe mode?

Okay, now here is where we hit a brick wall because of my ignorance!

I installed Jukebox and noticed that I was getting the restriction error. Because my board is not yet ready for prime time, I had never tried to upload an avatar either. I tried to do so and discovered I received the restriction error there as well.

So, I inquired at vB.com and was told I needed to set Safe Mode in vB and set the path to my "tmp" directory as stated above.

When I did so, I found I could upload avatars, but still not a file via the Jukebox.

So, originally, when I discovered the restriction in Jukebox I was not running in Safe Mode ... and now that I am, I still receive the error. If there is something that you would like for me to ammend now in order to check my installation, you will have to tell me "Hey, do this..." with instructions on precisely how to do it ...

Obviously, I only "know enough to be dangerous". :ermm:

OK im confused ...... the jukebox uses the same uploader as the avatars etc.

To comfirm: ... your whole instilation is working except you cant upload songs from the user end.

Talking out loud:... Why does it restrict browser uploading in the user end but not in the admincp?

Yes. My install works fine if I do manual entries. Only the user upload results in the restriction error.

I double-checked my user permissions and they are set to allow uploads.

On a whim of desperation, I even tried entering the name of my avatar upload folder "customavatars" but still got the restriction error.

I dunno, Trafix. I thank you for your support. I'd hate to uninstall because it's a great hack, but I'm stumped!

before we do anything rash ;)

can you PM a test login and link to your forum
