I've been trying to do batch import and I get the message: Specified upload directory, /home/summbpgc/public_html/ exists but is not writable No Upload Directory Specified, use setPath() method I know I can change the public_html to be 777 but that's not safe. I looked for an "upload directory" setting in config.php and could not find one. In admin/user.php it just seems to use _CONF['path'} as the upload directory. That doesn't seem right. Am I missing the setting somewhere? Or do I have to edit admin/user.php to do the set_path() call? What's the proper approach here? What's this upload dir actually used for? It looks like the upload class is trying to save to /tmp and then move it to the upload dir, but in this case why wouldn't the file just stay in /tmp and then get deleted? Thanks much.

I get the same message as well when I try to upload a tab delimited file for the users batch upload. If anyone can tell us, what do we change the 'path' to?

Here's how I solved this problem: in config.php I added a new line: $_CONF['useruploadpath'] = $_CONF['path'] . 'useruploads/'; in the directory where $_CONF['path'] points, I made a 'useruploads' subdirectory. I did a: chmod o+rwx useruploads to allow the web server to access it without problems and because 'path' is out of the accessible web root, it can't be seen by a browser. Then in admin/user.php in the importusers() method, I changed the references to $_CONF['path'] to $_CONF['userploadspath'] in two places....one in the $upload->setPath() call and the other in the $filename = $_CONF assignment within the if statement. The code fragment so you get your bearings looks like this: // First, upload the file require_once($_CONF['path_system'] . "classes/ upload.class.php"; $upload = new upload(); $upload->setPath($_CONF['useruploadpath']); $upload->setAllowedMimeTypes(array('text/plain')); $upload->setFileNames('user_import_file.txt'); if ($upload->uploadFiles()) { // Good, file got uploaded, now install everything $thefile = current($HTTP_POST_FILES); $filename = $_CONF['useruploadpath'] . 'user_import_file.txt'; } else { // A problem occurred, print debug information print 'ERRORS<br>'; $upload->printErrors(); exit; }
