The data folder is fully writeable and is still within the 'machform' directory as per the default installation.</p> <p>When someone uploads a file using the form, it is uploaded absolutely fine into the directory machform/data/form_1/files/ and I can grab it fine via FTP - the problem is that on the automated email response, when I click the link in that email I get a 404 error.</p> <p>Looking at the URL is seems to be looking in the 'scotts' directory for the files, for example...</p> <p><a href="http://www.mysite.com/scotts/download.php?q=Zm9ybV9pZD0xJmlkPTYwNDIwJmVsPWVsZW1lbnRfMTQ=" rel="nofollow">http://www.mysite.com/scotts/download.php?q=Zm9ybV9pZD0xJmlkPTYwNDIwJmVsPWVsZW1lbnRfMTQ=</a></p> <p>Surely it should be linking to within the 'machform' directory not the 'scotts' directory?</p> <p>Should I change the paths in config file (currently set as 'DATA_DIR', './data' and 'UPLOAD_DIR', './data') to absolute paths to sort this out?</p> <p>Thanks, sorry for the long post! </p>
