I am trying to configure the uploader to work. At the moment I am trying to upload an image. I have set the config variable to upload to my /images/stories/ folder like so: $Config['UserFilesPath'] = '/images/stories'
When I try to upload by clicking on the "Send it to the server" button, it looks like it is doing something, but then the image is not on the server. I have verified that it is not there by looking in the images/stories folder via my ftp client. When I try to varify that the file was uploaded via the browser button in the editor, I get a server 500 error. I'm thinking I need help with permissions, but don't reallyunderstand what to do.
Can someone please help me along here to tell me what I need to do next? I checked the permissions on my 'images' folder and set them to "775". I'm not sure of the distinction between User and Group so I may not have got this correctly.
I would be deeply indebted for any help. I have been trying to get this editor going for two days now.
Later----------
After much tinkering, I began to suspect the integrity of the code in my files. I uninstalled, reinstalled and now can upload successfully. Im not happy with WHERE the files are being upload to though. Both images (.jpg) and .txt files are both being uploaded to /images/file/ . It created the 'file' folder and I'm not thrilled about that. Is it possible to specify specific folders based on file type? For instance I would like .pdfs, .docs, etc to go in a file called 'docs' and all image files to go in a folder called 'images'. I suppose that would take a conditional in upload/config.php file? I'm not a .php programmer so wouldn't even know the syntax. Any advice appreciated.
