Hey Dean,

Recently upgrade this site to the 1.86b. Went to "Add" a file for Attaching and experienced the following error:

Warning: move_uploaded_file(/dh/cgi-system/attach/castlewo.jpg): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/compass/coachingschoolfornetworkmarketers.com/maillist/upload.php on line 72

Warning: move_uploaded_file(): Unable to move '/tmp/php5T7JYe' to '/dh/cgi-system/attach/castlewo.jpg' in /home/compass/coachingschoolfornetworkmarketers.com/maillist/upload.php on line 72
File Uploaded: castlewo.jpg (7818 bytes)

However the file doesn't upload.

This site is hosted on my dedicated server at Dreamhost.

It appears to be happening with the other 2 installs I have updated also. Any clue what might be the problem?

Deb,

In recent versions the ListMail "attach" folder is used for temporary storage of uploaded files. The folder must be set up with the correct "writable" permissions, as per the help page:
http://listmailpro.com/help/attach.html

If you have troubles even with the correct permissions I recommend trying v1.87 as the process has been fixed for later versions of PHP.

Regards

Well, that was one of the first things I did was check to make sure permissions correct. They were.

I had tried to install 1.87 on another site and had problems, so didn't want to screw with things as I thought maybe because it was still in beta.

Crud....not sure what to do now.

Any other suggestions besides upgrading?

Sorry about the delay - I was out of town and am playing catch-up.

This is a bug when PHP is being run as a "CGI" (probably makes no sense to you:). You can either re-download v1.87 for the fix or search and replace the following line in edituser.php and upload.php (search for the string "$targdir" to find it):

Code: [Select]

$targdir = substr($_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME'],0,strrpos($_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME'],'/')) . '/attach';
Change to:

Code: [Select]

$targdir = getcwd(). '/attach';
The fix will be in all future releases.

Regards

Thanks Dean. It is the weekend, so didn't expect an answer until next week anyway. :-)

I will check this out. My server is running php as cgi, but has always. But we all know how computers go. :-)

Thanks Dean. I upgrade to 1.87 no problems this time and everything working good.

Now can again plea for better statistics -- only because client wants to know how many unsubs and removes are happening. :-)

Hi Deb,

Until there are better statistics I recommend enabling "Notify when a user unsubscribes from this list" on the List Settings page. Using this feature you're sent an email every time a user unsubscribes. You can count the notification emails to provide the data to your client.
