[SOLVED]File Picker Error when trying to insert image.

Post by genestevo »

CMSMS 1.10.3 PHP 5.2.17 Mysql 5.0.92 Apache/2.2.21 Linux

Hi Guys,
My new content default page looked like this:
Image
I edited Extensions>MicroTiny>Settings to Allow images.
This added the "tree" icon to the menu bar but when I use the tree icon, and then click the browse icon adjacent to Image URL field I get the following error screen.
Not sure if it makes a difference but pop-ups have been set to "allowed" in browser for the domain.
Image
Any help appreciated.
Cheers,
Gene Stevo.

You may have to change the permissions on modules and MT folders to 755...

Hi Dr CSS,
Using Dreamweaver for FTP edits, I changed the values of Modules folder and subfolders to the values shown. I also applied the same settings to the sub folders of modules and the subfolders of MicroTiny and ModuleManager.
The original problem persists. Incidentally, the error occurs when selecting the browse button when adding a link also.

Did you happen to notice the Warning, This command may not work with some severs, I would use Filezilla or the servers own file manager to see if it is truly changing the permissions...

Hi Dr CSS,
First off thanks for continued support.
I've checked on my hosts server and the values shown in the previous image have taken.
Here is a list of all the folders that are now showing Perms 0755

(in root) modules
(in root/modules) CMSMailer; CMSPrinting; FileManager; MenuManager; MicroTiny; ModuleManager
(in root/modules/MicroTiny) images; lang; lib; templates; tinymce
(in root/modules/ModuleManager) docs; images; lang; lib; templates

Am I perhaps supposed to changing all subfolders and files?
I've never dealt with this issue before so I'm not sure what I'm doing :) I've no idea just how deep I'm supposed to go into the directories.
All I've done is changed the folders listed, the contents don't change. Are they supposed to?

Thanks again,
Gene Stevo.

Changed files and subfolders and their contents too.
Worked a treat.
This also cured another issue which was a rather long winded error message that appeared on reporting the loss of a password.

Tip: use file manager in cpanel to make changes to permissions, select all option worth it's weight in gold.
