[SOLVED] Data Folders on Shared server?

Submitted by robur on Sun, 02/08/2015 - 19:52

Evening all,

This is probably a bit of a daft question but I'm getting the following ERROR: Feed could not be created, undefined when trying to create a feed from my inputs. I suspect my folders phpfiwa, phpfina and phptimeseries are not located properly or I have not uncommented them properly?

The folder 'data' is located at the same level as 'public_html' ie I cannot go higher, the permissions are set to 777 and this is how the paths look in settings.php look:

        'phpfiwa'=>array(
            'datadir'=>'/data/phpfiwa/'
        ),
        'phpfina'=>array(
            'datadir'=>'/data/phpfina/'
        ),
        'phptimeseries'=>array(
            'datadir'=>'/data/phptimeseries/'
        )

any pointers appreciated.

Thanks.

The path may not be correct, as you are assuming that 'data' is the folder above root, which on shared servers may not be.

ie, there may be a directory structure below the data folder.

Hi Paul,

Many thanks, at the root '/' I have 3 folders:

public_html

cgi-bin

data // IE created for EmonCMS

Would that be right?

PS, my node value is alphanumeric, would that cause a problem? IE NODE=ABCD12

Hi, looks like in my case the locations should look like this:

        'phpfiwa'=>array(
            'datadir'=>'/home/sites/domain.co.uk/data/phpfiwa/'
        ),
        'phpfina'=>array(
            'datadir'=>'/home/sites/domain.co.uk/data/phpfina/'
        ),
        'phptimeseries'=>array(
            'datadir'=>'/home/sites/domain.co.uk/data/phptimeseries/'
        )
