I’ve installed and it’s working great but I have a question.
When I create a new folder, permissions default to 755 not 777. Do you know what the reason for that would be?
I love this file! Wish I had it 1 year ago! How do I get my users to see the files that I upload to their folders?
Thanks in advance!
Unfortunately users will see your files only if you set them permission to see all files, at this moment. We will update the file in september to include functionality to view files in folder by default
No problem. Like I said I love this file! So it’s worth the wait!
Great job!
Set this up of Friday, everything looked fine until today when I attempted to actually use t, I got the following error:
Warning: move_uploaded_file(/home1/sizemor1/public_html/clients/clients/uploads/Houston copy.docx) [function.move-uploaded-file]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home1/sizemor1/public_html/clients/js/upload.php on line 58 Warning: move_uploaded_file() [function.move-uploaded-file]: Unable to move '/var/tmp/phpB51XNI' to '/home1/sizemor1/public_html/clients/clients/uploads/Houston copy.docx' in /home1/sizemor1/public_html/clients/js/upload.php on line 58 Error! Most likely upload directory doesn't have writable permissions or you didn't set it up correctly.
I noticed it said “(/home1/sizemor1/public_html/clients/clients/uploads/Houston copy.docx ” which I noted that I don’t have the directory ”/clients/clients” not shure if that has something to do with it. Any ideas? Thanks.
Such error usually appears if upload_dir and script_dir variables were set incorrectly OR chmod 777 was not set for uploads folder. Please double check your dbconnect.php file and make sure you followed comments correctly. You can email us through den page for further assistance.

I also have an issue with the message function, if an user click on a message, it goes to a white page (no matter if there is a message left there or not). I can leave and read messages as an admin though, any idea what could be wrong ? Thanks.
It is permission based functionality. Page will be shown only if user has rights to edit his or all files. If you don’t need this functionality – remove line 34 in messages.php and one of the “}” on line 146
Hi, I managed to install it on another server. Still puzzled about why I could not install it properly on the first one though… I noticed this : ?> at the top of users.php page (?)
Yeah, we know this ?> thing. Will be removed in future updates. Sorry about that.
Went ahead and read the FAQ this time just to make sure this hasn’t been but there: When I initially bought the script, I thought that the admin could upload to any of the folders and thus only users that could upload to those certain folders could see only those particular files in their allowed upload folder. However I believe that is not the case? Or is it? maybe I’m doing something wrong?
(What I though happened) Example:
Admin uploads File X to folder 1 & File Y to folder 2 User 1 has upload access to folder 1 thus User 1 can only see file X User 2 has upload access to folder 2 thus User 2 can only see FileY
If this isn’t the case, could it be added to the script?
Thanks, Matt
Hi Matt_Sawyers,
you’re correct, such functionality is not implemented, however it can be pretty easily implemented, you just need to edit files.php page – the db query on the top – should take all files from folder which is assigned to current user.
We will add such tutorial to our website (as soon as we will launch it… ) which is almost done.
As I began testing files I realized I couldn’t upload anything over 8MB, then I suddenly realized – it’s my php.ini file on my host causing the issue. 
Thank you for purchasing Matt_Sawyers,
I’m glad you’ve managed to fix it yourself (we actually have a solution in FAQ section for the script )
Let us know if you will have any other questions.
I keep getting an “Error! Tried to upload . Got ‘Your upload quota has been reached. Try deleting some files.’” error. I’ve set my admin upload limit to 1000MB and the file is only 25MB is there something else I might be doing wrong?
How do you change the default file upload size, before they create an account?
Thanks
In order to change self-registered user defaults you will have to open file user_registrations.php and go to line 47
this is line 47:
$query="INSERT INTO users (username,password,email,
extensions,quota,filesize,active,accesslevel,upload_dir) VALUES ('".$username."','".md5($password)."','".$email."','JPG','1','1','".$active."','ghk','uploads')";
change ‘JPG’ to (for example) ‘JPG,BMP,PSD,GIF,TIFF’
change first ‘1’ to set maximum filesize
change second ‘1’ to set maximum quota
Let me know if you will have other questions.
Hi, I am having the exact same issue than fearofthelight, so I will just ctrlc/ctrlv his post. And yes I did check everything many many times. Is there a fix for this bug ?
QUOTE :
fearofthelight says Purchased Here there, I just bought this script and uploaded it 3 times with these same errors.
1. The install.php page comes up completely blank, so I can’t install.
2. I also get this when I go to index.php:
Warning: mysql_fetch_assoc(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /home2/wolstyco/public_html/urbancincinnati/fms/includes/functions.php on line 122
Any ideas? Thanks!

Hi astonwood.
First of all thank you for purchasing.
Most definitely this is not a “bug”. If you get empty install.php – that means that something is wrong with the database connection. I do understand that you double checked everything, however – you have to make sure that you’re using correct db settings (can you check those with the hosting provider??). The thing is that script was purchased many many times and installed even more times – and if problem occurs (rarely, but happens) – in 99% cases it is because of the wrong database settings or server configuration. For further assistance please contact us through email (through den page) – we will try to assist you.
this is such an excellent script! bookmarked! keep the good work!
Thank you Daniel_R
Your documentation in the dbconnect file should be more specific. You’re already taking into account the “root” path info of the script eg. /home/user1/public_html/ so when you say “relative to root” in your documentation, most developers are going to include that path I just mentioned, so you end up with /home/user1/public_html/home/user1/public_html/ which is why I kept getting the move_uploaded_file error that other people seem to have been getting as well.
Other than that, seems to be a good script. Will rate later.
Thank you for the note JeffT, we’ll adjust the docs with next update.
I’m not 100% sure what you mean here.. can you explain a little further?
Open files.php and take a look on how table with files is formed and displayed. You will need to add another cell to that table, lets say – call it “category”, and then take the field “catID” from database (same way like the other data is taken, if you will take a look on the code you will see what I mean) and display contents of that field in that cell. If you don’t have knowledge of PHP / MySQL at all – your best bet would be to hire someone to do it for you.
Let us know if you will have other questions or requests.
Hi
I would like to know if it is possible for each user to see the category under which a file was uploaded. At the moment, it seems they just see the file but no the category it is under?
It is possible to display in the file table – folder name under which it is uploaded. Just take a look how files table is formed and you will have no problems adding extra column with database field which holds folder names.
Is there a way (eventually by modifying the code) to have the users (or better some users being able to create a directory ?
Thanks for the nice job !

Hi henris,
It certainly possible – however it would have to be custom developed for you. If you’re interested in quote – you can contact us by email through den page. Thank you.
The problem was solved by using another computer; so the ajax download issue must be with the browser and not the script. The non-ajax download works on both computers.
Thank you for your prompt rely by email.
Great!
Please do not hesitate to contact us if you will have any other questions or requests.
Need help.
Uploaded script, installed, systems interface works, but I get error on upload:
"Server(IO) Error" and nothing is uploaded.uploads file is set to 777 Running php5.x Not sure about $script_dir and $upload_dir settings. What do you mean by full path? ie “http://domain.com/filemanager/uploads”
please advise
if you installed script under yourdomain.com/filemanager then script dir must be /filemanager/ and upload dir /filemanager/uploads/
I am very interested in your script. I was wondering
1) can I upload files to the various folders from outside your application (meaning via ftp or ssh) ?
2) can I limit a users ability to only view available files for them to download in their own folder?
3) can files uploaded by the user be put into a seperate directory than the files they have available for download?
Hi glennm19,
1) At this moment no. We can either custom develop this functionality for your needs or you can wait till next release of the script, we have such option on our to do list. You can use ftp to upload files but you will need to manually add them into database so that they would appear in file manager.
2) There is option to set permissions for users to see only their own files. However if you want your users to see files which there uploaded to the same folder by other users – you will need to set permission to them to see all files (throughout the system.) Again, in next version this will be added as option that whatever file admin will upload to somebody’s folder – user assigned to that folder will see those files.
3) Yes, if user has permission set to view all files / folders.
Do not hesitate to contact us if you will have any other questions.
Oh! I forgot to ask! Is there a way for a logged in user to keep track of when his/her file is downloaded from another user? I see upload stats, but I do not see anywhere where they can monitor downloads.
No, there is no such functionality at this moment.
