How do I fix the "The directory does not exist." issue?

How do I fix the "The directory does not exist." issue?

in Community Support » PHP Connector • 6 months ago

Can anyone help me? I've been stuck on this problem since like an hour ago. While browsing the forums, I came across a question similar to mine but it wasn't answered.

So anyway, here's the situation, I'm using FileManager on the web server built-in to Mac OS X 10.6.9 Snow Leopard. I already tried all the proposed solution here like using the doc_root (even though I don't intend to put the file anywhere outside my site folder) but it still gives off that error.

Additional info:

My Mac OS X built in server already has PHP installed so I doubt that to be the problem.

Hi,
Im on the same Mac OS as you and my local setup with the filemanager works fine:

filemanager.config.js
var fileRoot = '/';

filemanager.config.php
$config['doc_root'] = '/applications/mamp/htdocs/webroot/upload'; // No end slash

Didnt touched the rest of the files yet. Im on CakePHP, but that shouldnt make any difference in this case.
The Filemanager seems to be very sensible with those paths, even using PHP super globals to build the path dynamicly didnt work out. Still having problems to get it running on another server.

Good luck :)

I was planning on moving the actual website once I finished developing it, do you think these settings will have an effect if ever I transfer it to a remote host? That would most probably be a Linux server.

Well, thats exactly the problem I got here. Its running fine on my local MAMP server environment, but as soon as I try to put it on the Linux live server, it is searching infinitely for the directory.
At the moment my setup is:

$config['doc_root'] = realpath($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']);
var fileRoot = '/webroot/upload/';

Perfect on the Localhost, no idea why the live server doesnt like it. Maybe I should note: Im not getting the "Directory doesnt exist" message, but the spinning loading gif to infinity.

Will try that patch with the relative paths now.

I'm now on the real deal. I have a client waiting but I can't make it run on the client's remote host (Linux). I developed it in Mac OS X but now the file manager is broken in the remote host. Help?
