thanks alot
Okay, i believe I found a solution to my problem and hopefully it will help others who run into this. I had to modify the file, /core/fn_common.php, starting from line 1193, or the function fn_mkdir(). There is a foreach loop in the function, i've modified the code just a bit as i commented below. The problem was the ending slash being fed to the mkdir php function, which rejected it. I'm not sure why other people aren't getting the same error, perhaps due to the flavor of OS... i'm on a server running BSDi. Possible? Anyway, this seemed to do the trick.
foreach ($dir_arr as $k => $v) { // $path .= $v.DS; // original code $path .= $v; // modified code :: removed the ending foward slash if (!@is_dir($path)) { umask(0); if ( @mkdir($path, $perms) != true) { $error = true; break; } } // added code :: Add the foward slash for the next iteration after the directory has been created $path .= DS; }
