    Default Media Manager

    Hey there,

    When trying to upload files using the media manager the default directory that it uploads to in the drop down boxd is Main Directory.

    In the tute for media file slocated here

    https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/i...hp?article=119

    it says the dfault directory is Media.

    That doesnt appear to be an option.

    When i attempt to upload to the Main Directory i cant locate the file later on the server nor in the zencart system.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    v 1.3.7

    Thanks

    Look at your site via FTP ...

    See where you have the directories:
    /admin
    /includes
    /media <<-- Hint Hint is this set to 777

    You will not see the "/media" folder in the pulldown. The "Main Directory" option on the Media Manager page *is* the /media folder.
    No other options are supplied, as that is the only place the module currently supports loading files to.

    The /media folder is defined according to the setting for DIR_FS_CATALOG_MEDIA in your /admin/includes/configure.php file.

    1. Is the server errorlog mentioning anything when you try to upload?
    2. What files "are" in the /media folder?
    3. What are the filename extensions of the files you're uploading? Are they in the list defined in Admin->Configuration->Maximum Values->Allowed Filename Extensions for uploading ?
    4. What's contained in your php-info output under Admin->Tools->Server Info ? (Yes, all of it)

    np gald we are talking about the same file.


    1. Is the server errorlog mentioning anything when you try to upload?
    No errors pertaining to the upload just this one

    [26-Mar-2007 23:08:20] PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ':' in /home/wickedvi/public_html/musicstore/includes/languages/english/wickedviolin/meta_tags.php on line 14


    2. What files "are" in the /media folder?
    I managed to upload a 400k wave file using the media manager so that is there and i just tested that capacity again with sucess for *.wav files but not for .zip or .mp3
    the file size upload is now set to 250000000

    3. What are the filename extensions of the files you're uploading? Are they in the list defined in Admin->Configuration->Maximum Values->Allowed Filename Extensions for uploading ?
    This setting is pertaining to what users can upload to the site but i have added mp3 and wav using the same nomenclature so that field is now
    jpg,jpeg,gif,png,eps,cdr,ai,pdf,tif,tiff,bmp,zip,wav,mp3

    I ahve also added the media file types using admin->media types file extensions .mp3 .wav .zip


    4. What's contained in your php-info output under Admin->Tools->Server Info ? (Yes, all of it)

    Is there something in the upload script itself that limits the byte size of uploads?

    Default Re: Media Manager

    It seems as though one of two things

    a) their is a max upload size setting --- have spoken with tech and they say that there is no max upload setting on my server and have uploaded much larger files with ftp with no issue.

    b) the allowed file extension component is not working properly.

    any thoughts on those two?
