Technote Details :: No write permissions in folder

Issue

I've created an Insert page where users can also upload their images. When I try to submit data, including a file, I get an error saying "File upload error: File upload error. Internal error."

The developer details state "No write permissions in folder".

 

  • Products: MX File Upload.
  • Operating System: All.
  • Server Models: All.
  • Dreamweaver version: any.

Reason

This is happening because you are trying to upload a file to a folder which does not allow write operations for the web server user. This means that the web server is not allowed to save files into the folder you've specified when applying the File or Image upload server behavior. Another reason is that the folder does not exist on the server, and thus the files cannot be saved.

Solution

In order to solve this issue, you must set write permissions for the web server user, or create the folder if it does not exist. To find out what is the web server's user name and how to set the correct write permissions, you might need to consult the web server's operating system and the web server manual.

Also, check the spelling of the folder name in the server behavior configuration, and make sure it matches the existing folders on the server.

I am using apache on windows, i cannot chmod 777 as suggested.

Can anyone show me how to enable write permissions to a folder so that i can test my applications before deploying them?

You could fix this by changing the folder's CHMOD to 777. I think this might present some security issues though.
