Being a UNIX/Apache person, I'm at a total loss for installing V2 on this box. The error I get is:

Can't locate fileman.cfg and then the full path to the script directory. The full path is correct and the fileman.cfg is right in there.

Also, this box doesn't run .cgi. I had to rename the .cgi to .pl. It has Active Perl installed which works fine on some test scripts. Will this be a problem?

Can anyone give me a clue as to what I'm missing?

Regards,

Phil

What path are you using?

You need to include the drive letter along with the total physical/absolute path where your file is located.

Hmmm. Include it where? In the config file? My config file looks like this:

%config = (
root_dir => "/e/InetPub/wwwroot/cgi-bin/siteman",
root_url => "/cgi-bin/siteman",
script_url => "/cgi-bin/siteman/fileman.pl",
admin_url => "/scripts/fileman/multi/admin.cgi",
password_dir => "/e/InetPub/wwwroot/cgi-bin/siteman/pass",
auth_dir => "/e/InetPub/wwwroot/cgi-bin/siteman/auth",
logfile => "/e/InetPub/wwwroot/cgi-bin/siteman/fileman.log",
users_file => "/e/InetPub/wwwroot/cgi-bin/siteman/users.db",
icondir_url => '/icons',
use_flock => 0,
db_key => 'UserID',
db_null => 'NULL',
db_delim => '|',
multi_user => 1,
allowed_space => 500,
max_upload => 75,
show_size => 1,
show_date => 1,
show_perm => 0,
show_icon => 1,
show_pass => 1,
version => '2.0'
);


But if it can't find the config file?

Phil

Your paths are incorrect...

You need to use:

E:/InetPub/whatever

NOT

/e/InetPub

Thus you have not configured your config file properly.

Good luck!

Correct UR. Thanks. Also, I was trying to install version1 instead of 2. Duh! Version 2, with the correct paths installed ok after I went into all the template files changed the hardcoded fileman.cgi to fileman.pl.

Anyway, it is up and running now that I have a few more grey hairs, but it won't create user's directories. I'm not sure if IIS runs this as user nobody like it does on Unix. Do I have to create an account on IIS for user nobody?

Phil

The problem with creating directories is with the main root folder setting, which needs to be set to Read, Write, Delete (Modify in Windows 2000).

You'll have to ask your hosting company to set up the folder perms for you.

I don't understand. During the install, Fileman was capable of creating the Inetpub/wwwroot/SiteManager/images folders in the root of webserver. Why would creating user folders be different. The users folder path is the same, i.e., Inetpub/wwwroot/SiteManager. Also, I am the administrator for this machine. I don't think I can set permissions on NT4 using WIN2K. I don't have NT4 Utilities available right now and I'm on a WIN2K machine at home.

Thanks for the help.

Phil

Don't know what to tell ya...

Sorry.

Good luck!

Hi,

I guess that your FileMan version is not V2, you can download V2 at: http://www.gossamer-threads.com/...fileman/download.htm

It is version 2 - now. But, I still have the problem of not being able to create user's directories. The error message is:

Can't create directory.

Any ideas? Why would Fileman be able to create the images folder in the html root but not the user's folders?
