Question "attachment not found"

"attachment not found" was created by cbrace
Hi all,

For some reason, attachments are broken on the v1.6.2 forum I manage.

Using the file picker, I can add an attachment in the message editor.

If I insert the attachment, the tags appear in the editor window, but when the message is saved, an error message is displayed:
Code:
Attachment C:\fakepath\byte-offerte-20110112.pdf not found

I looked around the configuration settings but didn't find anything, like a pathname field, that looked promising. This was working for us last fall.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Colin

cbrace: I'm sorry but I do not have any guest access to your forum (and so I cannot see the issue). My immediate advice, at this time, is to search the forum for:

(a) "attachment not found" ; and

(b) fakepath

in the hope that some of these topics might be helpful to you.

Sozzled,

I just discovered the cause: it was a permissions problem with this directory: /media/kunena/attachments

Changing it from 755 to 775 fixed things.

There seems to be recurring issues with permissions on the server which I host my Joomla site on; I am switching webhosting companies next week and I hope this problem will be solved for good.

The lesson seems to be: not all so-called Joomla webhosting companies are equal.

Hi again Sozzled,

Just a quick follow-up: I am testing my Joomla site on a new host. I made a backup with Akeeba and installed it on the new server.

Everything went fine except I did again have to manually modify the permissions for /media/kunena. Are the default settings in Kunena too restrictive? Once I added write permission to group and other, attachments worked again. I find this odd, since the webserver reads and writes as owner of the files. Why would the Kunena need group or other write permission to write files?

I notice for example that another Joomla extension I use, the excellent, DOCman, manages to write files in its document directory with the default settings, -rw-r--r--

Thanks.
