manage attachments problem

[FRANKTHETANK 2]

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

Could not create file system directory to hold your attachment

[Lynne]

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?

[Lynne]

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

[FRANKTHETANK 2]

but where do i change path?

[Lynne]

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?

[Lynne]

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.
