Question [Merged topic] K 1.6 attachments: JFolder::create: Could not create directory

[Merged topic] K 1.6 attachments: JFolder::create: Could not create directory was created by philiplardner
I am unable to upload/insert images in K1.6.0 using the Add file button - I get the following error:

* JFolder::create: Could not create directory
* Failed to upload file '': Failed to create directory to store your file.

If I knew where Kunena was trying to create the new subdirectory I could change the permissions for the parent directory to allow it. I have tried setting /www/images/ to 777 (including all sub-dirs) but without success.

Any help appreciated,

Philip.

Hi Philip,

Kunena 1.6.x store all attachments in the folder

Joomla root / media / kunena / attachments /


Never change permissions to 777, with 775 upload will works well ;)

Thanks @quila - I tried setting this directory permissions to 775 but I'm still getting the same error message at the top of the page, and "Attachment Test-image.jpg not found" in the body oy the message that I am trying to insert the image into.

u have prolly not set your upload limit on images to be large enough.. by default the upload image limit is very small, like 125kb or something..
word up!

No, I had already increased the max file upload size to 1000kb and also enabled the ftp layer in Joomla global config. Still no joy. Hmm...

...a few minutes later... Cracked it! 775 permissions on www/media/kunena/attachments was not enough. setting it to 777 solves the problem... but is this now a security risk?

Our advice is that users should never set folder and/or file permissions above the Joomla recommended values (see Securing Kunena ).

It may also be appropriate to examine the ownership of these files (with a CHOWN to Apache).
