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/index.php?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

Ajeh,

Thanks i have done that.

The media folder is 777 but is still not appearing in the drop down list on the media manager.

hast his got anything to do with the issue

$dir_info[] = array('id' => '', 'text' => "Main Directory");

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.

the developers toolkit paths that statement to

/home/wickedvi/public_html/musicstore/admin/includes/extra_configures/media_manager.php
Line #11 : define('DIR_FS_CATALOG_MEDIA', DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'media/');

not the configure file.

and still wont upload any files to server

any other ideas?

thanks

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

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

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

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?

Prellyan:

Two things:

1. Admin->Configuration->Maximum Values->Maximum File Upload Size
2. Your PHP configuration for these settings (visible in the php-info area):

• upload_max_filesize
• post_max_size
• file_uploads
• upload_tmp_dir

Your PHP configuration for these settings (visible in the php-info area): - upload_max_filesize

• post_max_size
• file_uploads
• upload_tmp_dirwhere abouts is that information? is it a .php file?

thanks

Admin->Tools->Server Info

all of that information that comes up there i posted b4 but no mention of the data you indeicated.

Please dont give up!!

would it help if i set up a temp admin account for you to look for yourself cause everything that should be done i think has been done and still no go?

did you make sure to set the media types in the admin-> extra-> media types?

yes i did. i have even run an sql query in the mysql controller to verify they are there.

Scroll down the page ...

what i posted b4 is everything that is on that page - sry if you expecting something else.

There is normally about 10 screens of additional information all about PHP configuration settings BELOW the Zen Cart version history section.

Perhaps your host has disabled the "phpinfo()" function?

In the zc_install folder there are 2 files that could be of use if you'll upload them to your musicstore folder:

• techsupp.php
• phpinfo.php

Once they're uploaded, open them via your browser and find that info.

Failing that, talk to your host --- fixing security problems on your server is their job.

ok i have tested the techsupp.php file and it returns a lot of information but the phpinfo() routine it seems is disabled.

Warning: phpinfo() has been disabled for security reasons in /home/wickedvi/public_html/musicstore/tempzenpages/techsupp.php on line 307

so i guess i need to speak to my tech guys about that BUT they have already assured me there is no limit or restrictions associated with the server space so am not sure what they can do
