[Solved] file manager issue since 1.10.3

hi, i am running on windows/apache. when i upgraded to 1.10.3, i noticed that file manager stopped working. before i was able to use file manager to manage files on the site. after upgrading, it would not let me change directory to any folders.
i just upgraded to 1.11.2 and it seems to behaving slightly differently. now, when i try to change into a folder, i get a blank screen and this in the log
Attempt to set working directory to an invalid location: images
i know this might be a perms issue. i am pretty familiar with windows permissions and this is what i have done. i created a user, gave the user full permissions to the home directory and everything below. I also made this user the owner of the same. i then made this the login user for the apache service. i am pretty sure that it has all the rights that it needs. also, before 1.10, this work fine.
any help would be greatly appreciated.
thanks
Same FileManager problem on 1.11.2

Hi, I upgraded my site from 1.10.3 to 1.11 and 1.11.2. I now I have the same FileManager problem as reported above.
I checked permissions, I deactivated most of the modules, I created a new user with all the privileges, I swapped the language in the backend, I used another browser (Firefox instead of Safari). The symptoms remain the same: I can go to Filemanager where I see all the folders. But when I try to access them there is only a blank page.
When I change the admin theme to default or NGrey I do at least see the background and the frame of the theme but nothing is listed there, either.
Whenever I try to create a new folder I get the same error "Attempt to set working directory to an invalid location".
I can access the images folder via the ImageManager without any problem.
I have a website with 1.10.3 on the same server – no problems there.

Solved my FileManager problem

Hi,
this was really tough until I found out what was wrong:
• One of the first things I had done was to change my config.php-file. I changed the systems paths that were automatically set up during the original installation to the absolute system paths that were specified by my provider.This did not fix my problems.
• Only when I reinstalled module MicroTiny and tried to insert a picture I got an error that said something about FileManager and some paths (I try to attach the file to this post).
• So I downloaded the latest Config-reference-pdf and read about paths. I finally removed all the path settings from my config.php file, deleted the old file and uploaded the new file.
• This fixed everything!!!
I don't know why this happened – maybe because my config-php-file is so old and has never been deleted (only modified for years)? So I think that many more people will encounter this problem. Could there anything be done like a notice during the intallation/upgrade process to notify people of this possible problem?
Otherwise 1.11 and the new themes are great – thanks to all!
Reinhard

do you mean, you deleted your config.php and start with a new one from the distribution? then modified that one with your settings?
