Question Can not upload file attachment

The main site was created with the Site Shaper Package, the test Site I recently made was installed through my web server. Similar feature to what you can see in CPanel.

Now we just need to find out why? In most servers uploads works just fine, but what makes your environment different..? Is it just attachments (images, zip or both?) or do you have the same issue with Kunena avatars? What happens if you try to upload rank in the backend?

If I try to upload a new rank image on the back-end, I have no problems, works like a charm.

I am mainly concerned at this stage with your test site. If you installed a vanilla-flavoured test site, with Joomla, rhuk_milkyway, K 1.7.1, no changes at all to any of these things, with stock-standard as-recommended security, and you cannot upload a simple, small (say, 2Kb) .jpg image, then there's something fundamentally at odds with your server platform and Kunena. I am sure (and 500,000 websites around the world support this view) that Kunena works just about everywhere but there will always be exceptions to the "rule". We accept that sometimes there will be cases when things don't work. This forum has plenty of examples where people have - with a lot of reluctance, I know - accepted the fact that their web hosting platform won't run Joomla + Kunena in the way that other people can run these things.

Fortunately, the cost of finding another webserver - one that has a proven track-record of running Joomla websites - is low and the availability of these hosted environments is high. Unless someone else has different suggestions to what we've already advised, it may be that we have to conclude that, in your case, you cannot run Kunena on your currently hosted platform. Your test site clearly established that.

Sniff :*(

Is this something that can reasonably be resolved by contacting my Web Host? In this case I am using "Dotster.com".

You should first find out if this is an issue with your host or something which you have inside your site. Because of that I would make test site (either in sub-domain or directory inside your main site) and test if you can reproduce the issue with smallest possible site having default settings everywhere.

Matias: I think that's what darkened has done. We have to remember that the Kunena config report does not show subfolders of the primary domain.
