Hi, dunno if this counts as a bug or not, but...

I'm on Win2003 and IIS (I know, I know, but certain business requirements, well, require it Wink My attachments upload fine (I can see them in the files folder. However, in the actual post the path to them seems to be wrong. If I include an image in the message for example, I just get a broken x.

In the DB, the first part of the path's don't have \ between them. E.g:

C:domainsmydomain.comFiles\fudforum\3814588639\files\24.atch

I manual inserted \ and it still didn't work.

I have placed \\ instead and the db still doesn't seem to get updated.

Thoughts?

Check your GLOBALS.php and make sure all windows paths that use \ have \\ or / instead of \.

Wow, that was fast.

The only way I could get the slashes correct in the DB was setting:

$FILE_STORE = "C:\\\domains\\\mydomain.com\\\Files\\\fudforum/3814588639/files/";

If I // between say fudforum and 3814588639 no pages would appear.

(Setting \\\ instead of \\ in some other paths tho broke the app.)

So, now the path in the db looks like:

C:\domains\mydomain.com\Files/fudforum/3814588639/files/28.atch

However, I still get a red x. I tried manually setting the / to \ and still got a red x.

Hmm \\\ is definately not right, \\ should be enough. Have you tried changing them to / instead of \?

To ensure that the file appears you need to update the database, since the file paths are cached.

OK - so changing \\\ to / works. If

$FILE_STORE = "C:/domains/mydomain.com/Files/fudforum/3814588639/files/";

Then the path in the DB is:

C:/domains/projects.danikmedia.com/Files/fudforum/3814588639/files/30.atch

The image still doesn't show up in the message though. Where should I change the path to reset the cache?

You need to change the value of the location field inside the attach table.

Ah, that's what I thought. But I've been trying that. At the moment it's:

C:/domains/mydomain.com/Files/fudforum/3814588639/files/30.atch

I've also tried manually chaning it to:

C:\\domains\mydomain.com\Files\fudforum\3814588639\files\30.atch

or

C:\\domains\\mydomain.com\\Files\\fudforum\\3814588639\\files\\30.atch

and it doesn't work.

Can I echo something somewhere to see what path it's really looking for?

Sure... open getfile.php inside theme/default directory and put var_dump($r, exit()); somewhere before the normal output.

Odd, tried it and didn't see anything different. Is there a log file of something I should be checking?

Also, would this write the path that the page is looking for in the actual display of the message?

I put it on the last line before ?>

However, I tried just

http://mydomain.com/fudforum/3814588639/index.php?t=getfile&id=31

In my browser and the image displayed. However, when I viewed in the message ( http://projects.danikmedia.com/fudforum/3814588639/index.php?t=msg&goto =15&#msg_15), I still got a red x, which doesn't seem to make a lot of sense.

Hmm you are using FUDforum as part of eGW...

Putting it before the ?> is a bit too late, you need to have it before the contents and the file headers are sent.

If you are seeing a 404 for getfile, try rebuilding the theme.

I am using it as part of egw.

I've tried placing it in a couple of spots and get nothing. Is there a particular function I should place it after?

I'm not getting a 404, but I rebuilt the theme and it didn't work.

Thanks for all the help btw - where can I make a donation?

Well, I dunno what kind of voodoo you did on your end, but it just started working. Was caching old values perhaps? Anyway, thanks for all the help.

As far as making things work, I am sure that the theme rebuild is what did the trick.

If you want to make a donation, you can do so via Paypal using the link in my signature.
