Hello all,
I can't seem to get custom upload directories working on version 2.62. I never had this issue with previous versions, so maybe something has changed that I've missed.
My Website Root Directory is "/home/studioz/public_html" and I'm trying to upload images to the /images/ directory in the root folder.
My custom upload folder setting in the section editor is set like this:
directory path: /home/studioz/public_html/images/
folder url: /images/
I'm getting two kinds of errors. One tells me to turn off flash uploader, the other is that nothing actually uploads and the image preview is an empty image box.
Am I making a common mistake here? These settings worked on previous versions (unless I'm on crazy pills here). Somebody please set me straight.

Hi Ian,
Have you tried relative file paths? Try:
images/
images/
Let me know if that works for you.

Well, after leaving the problem and coming back to it, I was surprised to find it working. I'm not sure what happened, but it's uploading properly now. These are the upload directories that worked:
/home/[user]/public_html/images/residential/
/images/residential/
Craig, I've had the same flash uploader problems you've experienced. That is, I cannot use the flash uploader when on Firefox (I get a message asking me to disable it).
Best,
Ian

Hi Dave,
I think that I found the origin.
There seems to be a problem with Check Referer (Security Settings).
If I desactivate (unchecked checkbox), the files are again uploaded.
Apparently, uploadify does not like much the function Check Referer.
A solution?
Thanks!

Hi All,
The latest firefox doesn't work with even older versions of the flash uploader. We're working on a fix.
If you're getting this issue, try disabling this setting as Djulia suggests:
Check Referer [ ] Warn on external referers/links and require internal referer to submit data to CMS.
And if it still doesn't work, post back and let me know what error you're still getting.
Thanks!
