hi, i am trying to work with the file system for the first time, and i am having some problems.

i tried to upload a file to test, from the web interface, and it said

Error while writing file to storage (1)

and also said:

Please dont try again - this is an server error! Contact your webmaster as soon as possible!

i am the webmaster, and i have no idea what that means, or what to do about it. please help!

it seems that the filestorage folder is 777, but the 1-10 is only 755.

next question, can i create a new folder inside of the filestorage folder with my FTP and batch add the files?

Fury,

Change the permissions of the subfolders (1-10) to 777. To batch upload files, send them to phpwcms_ftp (make sure the folder is 777) and go to ftp takeover from FILES in the admin section.

Use content part FILE LIST. I noticed your web hosting site that you're developing. I can highly recommend http://www.clientexec.com for account signup, managment, billing, invoicing, support desk, etc.

http://www.phpcoin.com, but you get what you pay for sometimes - I would shell out the $99 and not waste time on phpCOIN (This is coming from someone who did waste time with it).
