[pmwiki-users] Upload setup produces download pmwiki.php dialog box

[Mitchell,James]

Thanks for the quick response.

I think I did what you suggested - Below is the way the relevant pieces
of config.php currently read, but I'm getting the following that
precedes them.  I'd note that for me the root is /httpdocs/.....

I checked and have created a path "/httpdocs/pmwiki/uploads/uploads/Main
 with the "Main" directory having 777 permissions, but that doesn't do
the trick.

 

I also tried

$UploadDir =
"/var/www/vhosts/mitchell.lamp.drexel.edu/httpdocs/pmwiki/uploads/";

 

And got back an error message again that doubled the path.


*********
PmWiki can't process your request

PmWiki needs to have a writable uploads/Main/ directory before it can
continue. You can create the directory manually by executing the
following commands on your server:

    mkdir
/var/www/vhosts/mitchell.lamp.drexel.edu/httpdocs/pmwiki/uploads/uploads
/Main
    chmod 777
/var/www/vhosts/mitchell.lamp.drexel.edu/httpdocs/pmwiki/uploads/uploads
/Main
**************


 $DefaultPasswords['admin'] = crypt('######');
 $DefaultPassword['upload'] = '';  #  Patrick Michaud 11/5/2007



##  If you want uploads enabled on your system, set $EnableUpload=1.
##  You'll also need to set a default upload password, or else set
##  passwords on individual groups and pages.  For more information
##  see PmWiki.UploadsAdmin.
 $EnableUpload = 1; 
 ## $DefaultPasswords['upload'] = crypt('sandbox'); # JEM disabled

## $HandleAuth['upload'] = 'edit';  # Patrick Michaud says disable

Unless there's a strong reason for explicitly setting $UploadDir,
you probably want to leave it alone.  PmWiki will generally figure
out the correct setting.

You also probably don't want to set $HandleAuth['upload'] explicitly;
if you want uploading to default to edit permissions you can
more easily do this with

    $DefaultPassword['upload'] = '';

Other than that, these settings look okay to me.  Let us know if you're
still having trouble and I'll look into it a bit further.
