Hello there,

i run into a problem, i have download my component and install it in my test Joomla 2.5 site.

Everything is going on the plan except the Upload image !

It gives me error "JFolder::create: Could not create directory"...

Is there something i can do im my component to fix this ?

PS.: Hardware configuration
Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise
Joomla 2.5
With all the latest updates to PHP, mySQL etc....


Thank you in advance,
from beautiful Greece with Greatings to all...

Did you checked the chmods on your directories ?
Your component try to create the 'files' directory in the /compoents/my_component/files (front-end)
... and also a sub directory named 'mytable_myfield'

you can customize where to write the files, but if didn't you changed anything, it should be these paths.

Try also to create these directories manually.
Try to debug the line to see wich directory tried to be created.

Sorry but i can't do it!

1) Yes has default values for all directories as a default jomla installation.
2) I have manually created the directory.
3) What cahnges i have to do for customize my component so it uses default joomla images folder ?
4) I created the directory and give them full permisions even in Everyone!
5) In debug it gives me too much of Noticies that i don't know from where to begin...

I need to finish this ASAP,
Thank you in advance.

I also change from "Upload" to "Image picker" and also in sandbox have the same behavior.

After 4 days of searching my problem with images,

i think that the problem is that i'm using Windows Server 2008 for the security permissions to the uploaded folder for images.

In the file /administrator/compononets/com_mycomp/clasess/upload.php there is 2 lines :
define("mycomp_UPLOAD_CHMOD_FOLDER", 0744);
define("mycomp_UPLOAD_CHMOD_FILE", 0644);

I think the 0744 and 0644 is Linux security permissions and not used on Windows machines.

Is there something equal in windows ?

Nothing found after a week !

Anybody can help here ?

Did you solved your problem ?

Nope!
I can't find information about that...

chmods are handled by unix machines only.

TODO :

1. Create manually the directory that your component try to create by itself;
2. Comment or remove the source that try to create folder
3. Try to upload again.


I don't have solution for the moment
