Warning: cannot write to file directory

Please change file permissions to 777.

Re: Why I can't upload Files?

Change permisson (CHMOD) of *files*-folder (E:\htdocs\2_Office\myweb.txp\files) to 777. Whitout it, you can’t write to that folder via Textpattern. Your question kinda answered itself…

Move your cursor to the files directory, right click, go to properties, and uncheck the read-only option

And if the folder isn’t actually there… that’d be the problem right there. :)

Re: Why I can't upload Files?

I was try to properties then uncheck the read-only option, but after click OK, and re check the properties again, my read-only option still checked. :(

I am confused with is. So what wrong?

Re: Why I can't upload Files?

I just remembered: that option will always be checked on Windows (Windows Explorer uses the Read-Only attribute to determine whether or not the folder is customized – I know, pretty dumb), and it’s not the problem (it’s not really read-only in the sense we care about here). I run Txp on Windows myself, and have no problems with file uploads.

So you only get the problem when uploading files, and you get the message once you actually try and upload, but no warning before that?

I asked specifically: you only get the problem when uploading files, and you get the message once you actually try and upload, but no warning before that?

Re: Why I can't upload Files?

Okay. And what happens if you try to actually upload a file? What error message(s) do you get?
