Can't upload files or images

Can't upload files or images

I added an HTML Editor field to a web form and used the Advanced Manager Enabled Setting. However, when I click either the Link or Image button then Browse Server, I get the following error:

[my website]/install_cms/index.php

The requested document was not found on this server.

It's not on the server because I haven't (and don't want to) install PowerCMS. This is just a form that sends an email on submission, but I need to let users attach files & images.

Any idea how I can fix this?

It sounds like you must have the PowerCMS version of the webassist/kfm/configuration.php file on your live server... can you attach a copy of that file to a reply and I'll take a look.

Hi Ray, file attached. And you're right, it is the PowerCMS version which is strange because as far as I remember we've never had PowerCMS on this site. Maybe I started setting it up then didn't continue, can't remember!

Replace lines 1-12 with:

<?php
@session_start();
$startKFMDir = getcwd();
chdir(dirname(__FILE__));
require_once( "library.php" );
?>
<?php require_once( "../../Connections/local.php" ); ?>
<?php require_once( "../../webassist/security_assist/helper_php.php" ); ?>
<?php
if (!WA_Auth_RulePasses("Administrator") && !WA_Auth_RulePasses("Super Administrator")){
WA_Auth_RestrictAccess("../../index_cms.php");
}
?>

and replace "Administrator" with the security assist rule you want restricted access for.

Hi Ray

I've done that, but I'm now getting another error when I click the Browse Server button:

"error: "" could not be created"

The upload file is set to "/uploads" and the folder permissions are 777.

Replace lines 35-36 with:


$kfm_userfiles_address = '../../uploads/';
if (isset($_SESSION['useOverrideRoot'])) {
$kfm_userfiles_address = abs2rel($_SESSION['useOverrideRoot'],dirname(__FILE__));
}
$kfm_userfiles_output = rel2abs($kfm_userfiles_address,dirname(__FILE__));

Have done that, now the error message is:

Error
MDB2 Error: connect failed
connect: [Error message: unable to establish a connection] [Native code: 0] ** mysql(mysql)://:xxx@/

It looks like I forgot to have you update the connection references...
$kfm_db_host = $hostname_PowerCMSConnection;
$kfm_db_name = $database_PowerCMSConnection;
$kfm_db_username = $username_PowerCMSConnection;
$kfm_db_password = $password_PowerCMSConnection;

should be:
$kfm_db_host = $hostname_local;
$kfm_db_name = $database_local;
$kfm_db_username = $username_local;
$kfm_db_password = $password_local;
