ftp server test

[Cyclist]

:(

I do have a problem with the testing:

I get
CHECK IF EE HOME DIRECTORY: FAILED Reason: ftp_chdir
No such file or directory

DISCONNECTION FROM SERVER (close): FAILED. Reason: unknown

everthing else works. All the permissions are set correctly and also the path is correct (I double checked with infophp).

I have PHP Version 4.2.1
Linux
Apache/1.3.23

Any suggestions what could be wrong?

CHECK IF EE HOME DIRECTORY: FAILED Reason: ftp_chdir

"ftp path to EE root" is wrong. It is, as it says, ftp path, not http path: starts with slash and ends without slash, e.g.

/htdocs/gallery

I think I'll have to do an ftp path finder tool next...

DISCONNECTION FROM SERVER (close): FAILED. Reason: unknown

This is PHP ftp module bug, not fatal one though. Try the internal ftp. If you get internal ftp login problems or freeze problems I'll have a new version of it which I'll post really soon.

Thats exactly what I did:

/www/htdocs/website/path

although it's the right path it's not working!

Then are you sure you have /outputstyles -folder in EE directory? There are no symbolic linking going on there?

[Cyclist]

Yes I have, that's the strange thing. I seem doing everything right but it's still not working.

All my data will be transfered to another server next week so I think I'll wait and test it again then.

E.g. the photo
http://s95315851.onlinehome.us/GALLERY/photos/original/123_2382_JFR.JPG
is not found on that location. If upload was ok, then then only explanation is that ftp path you defined is not correct, so you have uploaded them to some other ftp folder, but not the one which has http address http://s95315851.onlinehome.us/GALLERY/photos/original/

EE ftp system distributes photos to ftp paths you have defined. The photos are then displayed to users by URL (http address) which must point to those same folders.

Use ftp progam to find out where those files really went. In most virtual servers the http root folder (where site index page is) may be under a shortcut - you will have to open all those folders until you see EE index.php (it the same folder you uploaded EE files to) - use command PWD to find ftp path of that directory.

Above procedure (explained in http://www.photography-on-the.net/ee/beta/setup_upload_system.php ) is especially crucial in your server because your site is under subdomain http://s95315851.onlinehome.us and no folder location should be taken for granted.

Now all my data were tranfered to another server but I am still getting this error:

CHECK IF EE HOME DIRECTORY: FAILED Reason: ftp_chdir() [function.ftp-chdir]: /www/htdocs/xxx/exhibition/outputstyles: No such file or directory

Any idea what could be wrong? I have double checked the path, it's the same as noted in the infophp and also the folder outputstyles does exist!

I've no idea what to change....

PM me URL to your editor and ftp into - I'll see what is going on, might be the ftp response issue I have already a fix here for. I'll test it and fix in on site if needed.

I'm having the same issue.

All tests are successful but this one:

CHECK IF EE HOME DIRECTORY: FAILED Reason: ftp_chdir(): /www/joeegan.org/GALLERY/outputstyles: No such file or directory

I've tried re-extracting and re-uploading the outputstyles folder. I'm not sure what to do next.

Any help appreciated.

If the test fails then ftp path to EE root is wrong. Use any ftp program to go to your site, browse so that you see EE gallery index.php and give command PWD. That is is the only way to be sure.

Thanks very much for the reply.

I've tried what you suggest with both WS_FTP and FileZilla and I'm not having any luck. In a previous post, you said:

"might be the ftp response issue I have already a fix here for."

Any chance that fix would apply to me?

Can you PM me your ftp info and editor access - I would take a look what is going on there.
