we are running or phpList installation on our own root server. The installation was running without any problem, but we have a problem to upload images to the server.
This problem occurs in the CKEditor and FCKeditor editor. Although a correct path is set, we get the error:
Cannot write to upload folder. /var/www/vhosts/s4y.de/mailer.s4y.de/uploadimages
in the CKEditor. The path is existing with 777 rights and the correct owner.
The config.php contains:
define(‘UPLOADIMAGES_DIR’, ‘uploadimages’);
We cloudn’t see any error messages in the error_log file.
@AndiS The error message is caused by kcfinder, the file manager, failing to add a .htaccess file to the uploadimages directory.
You could try manually copying the .htaccess file from plugins/CKEditorPlugin/kcfinder/conf/upload.htaccess and rename to simply .htaccess. But if there is an underlying problem then that might just move the problem on to the next step.
I solved the problem.
I have changed the path to the new location:
define(‘UPLOADIMAGES_DIR’, ‘lists/uploadimages’);
Then I’ve created the directory with my FTP client where I have set the correct owner. Then I’ve created the three directories image, files and flash. Then the upload was possible and the .htaccess file was created.
