I am getting this error when I do a file upload..

Failed opening directory: /home/hoovenl/public_html/Forums/uploads/newbb
Failed opening directory with write permission: /home/hoovenl/public_html/Forums/uploads/newbb
MIME type not allowed: image/gif

I look in Forums/uploads/newbb and there is NO Newbb there so I cant set permissions to fix it.. I thought it was file type, but I switched them to different ones and they still arent uploading..

thanks

Hi
I think the path is incorrect! The path must be:
/home/hoovenl/public_html/uploads/newbb

The folder uploads and newbb and inside newbb thumbs you must set the permission 777 via chmode. The mimetype setiing you can find in the folder newbb\class - here mimetype.php

I want tomake sure Im doing this correct..


The folder uploads and newbb and inside newbb thumbs you must set the permission 777 via chmode. The mimetype setiing you can find in the folder newbb\class - here mimetype.php


the

Forum/Uploads must be set to 777? AND
the Forum/uploads/newbb must be set to 777?
AND
the
Forums/uploads/newbb/class must be set to 777?

Im asking because there is no newbb in my

forums/uplods at all anywhere - the path is correct as my XOOPS things are under (Forums) which is set under public_html

Newbb is the forum-module, did you change this? the path must be name of the folders on the server, not in the administration of your site! The newbb module (Forum) need 2 folders on the server. In the folder uploads one folder newbb with chmode 777 and inside this folder another folder thumbs with chmode 777.

Im still not understanding.. My XOOPS folder itself is called

FORUMS which is under my public_html

Forums/modules/newbb is there..

Under forums/uploads I do not have a newbb, with no newbb folder under uploads I dont have a thumbs either??

Holly you must only search for a folder named uploads. He is in your Root, in your case:

/home/hoovenl/public_html/uploads

In this folder you create a new folder name newbb and in the folder newbb you create another new folder name thumbs. All 3 folders must chmode to 777, thats all!

Ok.. I did that under the uploads folder under my Forums (xoops) folder..

Its working good.. only problem now is it says my files gif or jpg are not excepted file formats ... Under the forum module Im not seeing a place to change it for file uploading through the forum itself..
