Image manager and image upload problems
Posted: Tue Mar 18, 2008 9:55 pm
Hi, please bear with me as i am new to cmsms. I have created the following site: www.hthounslow.com. I thought everything was working great but then i logged into the image manager and found that instead of showing the images, it displays the main admin panel. Also when i try to upload images through the wysiwyg editor no images appear or upload. It displays the browse window but hangs when i try uploading an image.
I have been through the forum and came across a few posts, but i don't really understand them. Below are the ones i found:
http://forum.cmsmadesimple.org/index.php/topic,10485.0.html
http://forum.cmsmadesimple.org/index.php/topic,7671.0.html
This doesn't seem to be a common problem, so i am really stumped.
I have checked that the required files are chmod 777 and that safe mode restriction are off, and all is fine there.
I have installed version 1.0.4
my config files looks like this:
Could someone please help with this, and break down any help into steps that i might understand.
I dont understand what the problem is as my brother has installed his on the same hosting company and same version. We have both installed to the root directory, and everything is the same except for the image manager and image upload.
thanks
