Okay, I just had another go at uploading a file then, and it uploaded fine. So it works, I suppose maybe it took a minute or so to register a change in document path or something. I dont know, I dont have the knowledge. But it is all fully working now, so yes, I just want to say thank you tazman al for your help, and helping me sort it out in a couple of hours.

yeah, thanks for the suggestion. I thought the two back slashes were a bit weird so tried taking it out, but for some reason it still shows two in the error message. When I navigate in the file manager to the 'repository' folder it seems to have created a folder '1' inside it, so I presume it is the correct directory.

Okay Thank you once again. I have typed in the full path now and it looks like it has found the right directory. When I try uploading the file I am no longer shown the error message. But it still does not work. I now get the following message:

Error: Uploaded document is not unavailable.
SP:
DP:/www/steadywebs.com/l/i/p/lipa/htdocs/modules/dms/repository//1/1/1/2600001.dat

Do you have any ideas why this could be?

Sam

Thank you for your quick response.

I have managed to locate phpmyadmin, and have located the table and path. Unfortunately I cannot find the correct path to use. No matter what I update phpmyadmin with, the DMS config page still says ' Document Storage Path: docs' (which is the old folder I entered.).

The host ishttp://www.steadywebs.com
and my website ishttp://lipa.steadywebs.com

I am running XOOPS as usual in the root folder, and then /modules/dms/repository i presume would be the default but I dont know exactly what to enter in this field.
Please can you suggest a path to enter into the doc_path field that I can use. I dont mind where this folder is placed. Just as long as it works.

Thanks,
Sam

This is the error provided:

Error: Unable to move document. Ensure that the repository is available and that the web server is able to access the repository.

Hey Guys,

I am new to Xoops, and my main reason for choosing it, is I need to create a simple site, where multiple users an log in and upload their own documents, but not edit other users' documents.

I have chosen to use the Document Management System Module but cannot get it working. I have installed it properly, and get access to all of the admin features. But I cannot upload any files. This immediately makes me thinks that the repository is not set up correctly.

All of my folders currently have the highest permission setting, so can read and write, etc. I was wondering if anybody can provide me with more specific instructions on how to choose the document repository path. Also because I have written in that field in the options, I cannot find anyway to edit this path now. Which means it could be wrong and I can't change it.

Can somebody please help,

Sam
