I have a problem wtih the option for saving images to my server. It doesn't work

When I was on the roster 1.7.3, Siggen save the signs and avatars, but, since I have installing the roster 2.0, saving option don't work....



An idea ?


See the image for configuration....

Have you made sure that the directories :-

<Roster dir>\addons\siggen\sig
<Roster dir>\addons\siggen\ava
<Roster dir>\addons\siggen\img\members

Have been set to Writable?

yes

If the directory structure is ok,
If the directory structure is writebale,

These are my settings :


For the Avatar part : same settings.

Btw : %s will be replace by http://your-site/your-roster/addons/siggen/

Tuigi,

If I change %ssig: by http://gondolyn.free.fr/roster/addons/siggen/sig/, I have this message :

Saved Signatures Folder does not exist
It is required when "Save Image Mode" is turned on
Click HERE to try to create [http://gondolyn.free.fr/roster/addons/siggen/sig/]
Save Image functions are temporarily disabled

Look carefull to your message, and you'll see the answer :
When creating a directory, the name has to be something like "......../sig", not "..../sig/"

If creating still is a problem:
1) Who created the other dirs, knowing the that the same programing logic is used ? (read this question as : what changed ?)
2) Some chmod-rights problems ?
3) Create them by hand ?
[ 4) Is SigGen somewhat unable to create files and dirs ?]

Ok tuigi,

But when I write "..../sig", Siggen change automatically with "..../sig/" !!

So after some research, it's seems the problem come from Free

Free don't accept chmod 777.... but I have a question :

Siggen worked fine on my roster 1.7.3 (also on Free), why it doesn't work on the roster 2.0 ??


PS : I have tried a php script and a file .htaccess on the siggen directory, but it's doesn't work

I hate Free

Note that my OVH (all 90Plan mutual servers) don't accept #777 neither.
This isn't a problem, because, from what I understand, the webserver uses (or is) the in same group as the 'owner' (FTP ?), which is 7xx, which is enough.

What I don't understand is, that your webserver isn't able to create files (directories are also just files in Li(nux)).

Question : look in your roster/cache directory - can you tell me what's in it ?
I have many (about 30) tpl.......inc files.
The webserver created them for me !!
So, SigGen should be able to create files also.

Check that these dir's : addons - siggen - sig all have x & w rights.
Mine are all 755 (from root=roster down to sig)

I see the same thing in cache directory : inc files !!

The rights of the dir addons / siggen / sig is : drwx------
700 for me

What are the rights on the cache directory? Having the same rights on the siggen saved files directory should be enough.

Don't feel bad about this : the left 7 is the only one that matters.
Your webserver can create files, that the important part.

The only part that has to be checked now is : how are these inc files created by the cache logic, and is this method any different as how siggen creats files.
(check : declare the ava/sig dir in the cache dir - just declare the path to it ?!)

The cache dir has the same rights.... it seems to be a good idea


EDIT : I've made some tests but it doesn't work with cache dir
