Roller installation image directory on server
Hi All,
I am running apache tomcat 6.0.33 and have installed Roller version 5
onto the server as in the installation instructions.
The JVM is for java 5.0.
I have created a blog and have a post.
However I cannot upload media files to the server because the path to
the image folder is not known.
If I look in the roller.log for what happens I see the following :
Invalid path
[/usr/local/cpanel/base/*${user.home}*/roller_data/mediafiles/trialsandtribulations],
directory doesn't exist.
If I look at the variable used for the search folder I see :
IndexManagerImpl:<init> - index dir:
*/home2/marcusb/roller_data/search-index*
I
So the search folder is set correctly but the Image directory is not.
I have run the roller with an image directory defined in roller.config
and also without one defined.
What roller does is always insert this ${user.home} variable in instead
of translated it as it has done for the search folder
ie it should be looking at /home2/marcusb/roller_data/mediafiles/
instead of /usr/local/cpanel/base/*${user.home}*/roller_data/mediafiles.
Anybody got any ideas on this ?
kind regards
Marcus

By default Roller stores uploaded files in
${user.home}/rollerdata/mediafiles but on your computer, for some reason,
the value ${user.home} is not being substituted correctly.
You'll have to set the 'mediafiles.storage.dir' property in your
roller-custom.properties file to point to the place where you want uploaded
images stored.
