Hi.
I migrated my site to a new host.
I have a problem with jdownloads, because when I try to put the new path for downloads permanently shows the message:
Error! Upload root directory /home/xxxx/xxxx/xxxxx/jdownloads does not exist. or Error! Upload root directory /home/xxxxx/xxxxx/xxxxx/jdownloads does not writable
I tried to put all the path from the /home or from the directory site (/public_html/...../jdownloads.
The diretory have 777 permissions and in the configuration appears the message or not writable.
Thanks for your help
Hi
It sounds as if the path in jD Config - Downloads tab - field 'Upload Directory Path' is wrong as you need an absolute path.
If you look in Joomla! Global Config - System tab - field 'Path to Log Folder' it will have a directory string ending in log for example /home/a-site-ref/public_html/log so in that case you need to use /home/a-site-ref/public_html/jdownloads in the jD 'Upload Directory Path' field.

PS There is a similar setting in if you look in Joomla! Global Config - Server tab - field 'Path to Temp Folder' which usually ends in tmp
Hi ColiM
In my Joomla! Global Config - System tab - field 'Path to Log Folder' I have /public_html/directorysite/log and it works in jdownload 'upload directory path if i try to put /public_html/directorysite/jdowloads the message is 'not found. If I put /home/a-site-ref/public_html/directorysite/jdownloads in the jD 'Upload Directory Path' field the message 'not found' dissapears but constantly appears 'not writable'. But I tried to upload news files and it Works. But, when I try to open links in the web site don't foundt it.

I solved the problem.
The site it's not associated to the domain name. It's a internal address to migrated the old host to the new host. When I changed the register A in the DNS configuration for the domain to the new, all the registers we changed to writable.
Thanks for your answers
Hi
Glad you sorted it out. Just for interest is your site a CPanel site or something else?
Colin
Yes, The host provider have Cpanel
And only Works if the 'Upload Directory Path' is the absolute path /home/xxxx/public_html/directorysite/jdownload
Joomla Works well with '/public_html/directorysite/logs' ...
Thanks
