Hi All,

Just installed file upload mod allowing 5 images per record all works well until modify if you want to add more images or change existing ones simply returns following error on submit



Error Message : unable to open directory. Reason: No such file or directory
Script Location : db.cgi
Perl Version : 5.006001
Setup File : default.cfg


All directories and files are in there correct places and i have checked paths over and over again. Is this a common problem?

Any help with this would be much appreciated

Please check the FAQ noted below under the category "Images" to be sure you have the latest fixes to the upload mod.

It could just be a matter of having quotes around the directory path statement.

Thanx for reply to my query Lois have been backward and forwards through the code and still cant find why it keeps responding with cant find directory when you want to add further pictures during edit I am at a total loss i have pasted the code from sub_html_record_form as I assume this is where the fault is likely to lie.

Any ideas much appreciated or ill simply have to remove the edit facility.

Thanx again for your help

Hello,

I had the same problem when I was installing this multiple file upload. It took me 3 installations before I got it working.

I found the answer from LoisC's Unofficial Dbman's FAQ. Here is the fix.

Quoted

---------------------

You may also need to change the following in sub validate_upload:

opendir (GRAPHIC, $SAVE_DIRECTORY/$newdirname) or &cgierr(''Unable to open directory. Reason: $!'');

add quotes around directory:

opendir (GRAPHIC, ''$SAVE_DIRECTORY/$newdirname'') or &cgierr(''Unable to open directory. Reason: $!'');

-------------

The above fix was from the following threads

Thankyou!!

Problem seems to be solved now.
