CMS Made Simple Forums

I must also mention that I could not store images in the "images" folder for use in templates. When I link to iimages there they dont show up. I had to do a new folder in "cms", then it worked....

Writing this, it made me think... I just did replace the existing "uploads" folder with a new folder, renaming and setting to 777, then the same with "uploads/images"... and VOILA! Now the images show up and can be edited. BUT the upload still does not work!!

And by the way: Creating a new folder in "uploads" from the Image Manager works.

So I am at the beginning again. Yes, thats exactly how cmsms configures itself. Nevertheless upload doesn't work. Once I had tried cmsms 1.3, I remember it was the same problem there.

I will soon move the installation onto the external server. Will see if it works there.

OK, I installed the whole thing on my providers server and the image upload is working there.

So I am shure we have a bug here. Why does image upload not work in XAMPP on a Mac? Maybe it is a XAMPP bug? I am wondering do other Mac OSX XAMPP users have the same problem? Would like to hear from them.

Thanks for the suggestions, Alby!

Hi,

I just read your post and have exactly the same problem in Mac OS X with XAMPP.

File & Picture upload won't work and the example logo won't show up in the control panel.

So far I couldn't figure out any solution.

Switched to MAMP instead of XAMPP and everything works fine.

I suppose it is a problem within XAMPP on Mac OSX. In the meantime I did 2 jobs with CMSMS and they went fine once I had all installed on the final external server.

This leads me to not develop with XAMPP anymore, because picture upload doesnt really work.
