I am using Drupal 4.6.5 with the core upload module and I'm just trying to get some basic upload functionality. I've configured this on other sites without any problem, but I can't seem to get uploads to work properly on this new one (different web server). Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
I am getting one of two results, depending on what I've done. On one hand, I can get the following message: "File copy failed: source file does not exist." If tmp is set to a relative path (files/tmp) in admin/settings, this is what happens. If I try just "tmp" as the relative path within the files directory, the directory is not recognized.
Or, if I get creative and use the full path for "tmp" Drupal thinks the file gets uploaded but I get a page cannot be found error!
Safe mode is not enabled, which is usually the cause of such problems (so I've seen in other forum posts).
I've tried using the full paths to the directories (the file seems to get uploaded to both tmp and "files" directories, but the URL for the file is wrong-- it includes the web url with the full path at the end and the file is not found).
I've tried putting tmp inside the files directory, in the install directory for Drupal, and in a directory above the public_html directory of my drupal install. I've even tried placing the files directory outside the public directory (just to experiment). With all of these attempts, I configured admin/settings to find the proper directories and ensured that they were permission friendly (777).
