Hello

I'm getting error when i testing sending files:
Upload director does not have required permissionsFile Name

What can I set up to make this work? Where are uploaded files are stored? In joomla database?

The permissions are not enough!
you have to chmod 'freichat/plugins/upload/upload' directory to 777
The uploaded files are not stored in joomla database but stored in the above mentioned directory.

I set up chmod to 777 to specified directory, but still getting error: Unable to connect to database


File Name: foto2.jpg
File Type: image/jpeg

that is a tiny bug in the current version.
you will have to replace a small piece of code.
in freichat/client/plugins/upload/upload.php,replace,

$this->username=$username;
        $this->password=$password;

$this->username=$DBusername;
        $this->password=$DBpassword;

Ok, and if you don't have that folder create "upload" folder into to "freichat/client/plugins/upload/"

The don't are in Version 7.2

I create and set 777 permision and now work fine :)

I am unable to get the file upload going. When I change the permission of the "upload" directory, it gives me 500 Internal server error. Following are the server logs:
------------

------------

I can see that the "html.php" is there in the folder though. (M using Elgg and the current version 7.2 of freiChat).

Please help asap

What did you change the permissions to ? Try changing permissions of html.php, download.php , upload.php to 0755 and upload dir to 077

We strongly recommend installing the latest version i.e 7.5.3 due to security fixes related to upload .

I changed the permissions of the upload directory to 0777 and now the files html.php, download.php , upload.php are 0755. Still I get the same error. :(
any thoughts?

make sure freichat/client/plugins/upload has 0755 permissions
freichat/client/plugins/upload/upload has 0777 permissions
and files in freichat/client/plugins/upload have 0755 permissions

Thanks for the input, but do you mean that there should be another "upload" folder inside "/client/plugins/upload/" directory?

I did not find any such folder inside the already existing "upload" folder. However, I created and followed the steps to No success.. :'(

Any other suggestions?

Try lowering the permissions of "plugins/upload" folder.
Make sure the permissions are same as the 'freichat' folder.

Also note, "plugins/upload/upload" should have 0777 permission.
Don't forget to upgrade to the latest version of FreiChat.
