Question JFile::copy: Cannot find or read file

I have Kunena 1.6.3 installed, along with Mootools 1.2.4.

I'm getting the error JFile::copy: Cannot find or read file...for file uploads. I'm trying to upload a PDF...I set max file size to 8192.

I cannot get it to go...

The same error comes from Avatar uploads.

I run my own server...it's IIS6. I have php 5.2.9.

Not sure what else to do.

Ideas?



UPDATE

Ok, so I found the problem.

Kunena seems to be trying to copy the file from my workstation to the file server..and it's pointing to the servers' c:\windows\temp folder, which, of course, the IUSR account should not have write access to.

I did change the security to allow this, just for testing purposes, and the uploads now work.

So, then, this begs the question: why isn't Kunena using the "Path to Temp-folder" from Joomla Global Config?

Is there a way that I'm not aware of to modify where Kunena sends the temp files?

Hello,

If you change tmp directory, it will change for all Joomla! place

I'm not sure what you mean...

Joomla already uses the Path to Temp-folder location (found in Global Configuration), which for me is: \inetpub\wwwroot\joomla\tmp....it's just Kunena that won't work using this location, as Kunena is using the servers' TMP or TEMP location (c:\windows\temp), not the Joomla one. I would assume that something in Kunena or PHP.INI is calling a server environment variable to grab this info.

Why doesn't Kunena use the same location as the rest of Joomla? That is very strange behavior.

I suspect this is a bug in Kunena code...OR an underlying module Kunena is utilizing...Mootools perhaps?

Anyway, I really am looking for a solution to this problem, as I don't want IUSR to have read/write to the temp folder.

Look like Kunena is using c:\windows\temp

instead of Joomla Temp Paramaeter

dcasux: Can you please provide you K 1.6 configuration report. Thank you. I am suspecting that you are having problems with a local PC-based webserver (using something like WAMP or XAMPP, perhaps) but your config. report will show us that. If you are using a PC-based webserver, you should be aware of the caveats: Support for PC-hosted websites (e.g. WAMP, XAMPP) .
