manage attachments problem
 

im try to load a pic and i get this error message. what does this mean?

Are you storing your attachments in the filesystem (check attachment storage type)? If so, make sure the directory is writeable - usually you need to chmod it to 777.

i already did this. still doing this error

--------------- Added [DATE]1235957294[/DATE] at [TIME]1235957294[/TIME] ---------------

also should i being storing in database for file system?whats better? and where is the setting to change it to store in database?

Then check the paths for your attachments because if the directory is writable, then I would guess your path is incorrect.

but where do i change path?

Well, it says what it thinks the path is in the forum attachment type. It will say "Attachments are currently being stored in the filesystem at xxxxx" and that should be a full path from absolute root... so something like /home/yoursite/attachments . If it's wrong there, then you would "move items to a different directory"

well forum was moved recently. so i might need to change that. does it run off config? so when it was moved should have fixed itself right? should i just move them and store at database?

No, it doesn't run off of config. The path is right there on the screen I told you about. Make sure that path is correct or choose to move/change the path. If you say switch to database, then you will lose your attachments because it can't find them to move them to the database.

haha. ya i found it. but i cant get it work. ill keep trying tho. thanks for all the help

got it work. was path because of move. thanks lynne. your awsome
