File Manager not working

Permalink
I was uploading a file and it crashed. Now every time I go to Dashboard, File Manager I am getting blank page with words "File Manager" and nothing else. Is there any way to fix this?

I just did a fresh install and uploaded some files. As soon as upload finished File Manager is not working. I checked, if the files are on the server and they are all in /files/, but File Manager is not working now, just blank page with words "File Manager".

I just discovered that the only page that is not working is "index.php/dashboard/files/search/" other pages in File Manager are working, like "index.php/dashboard/files/sets/". So, it is still impossible to upload any files. Please help. Thanks.

are you hosting with bluehost and/or using simplescripts to install? It seems something is off with what they're doing on version concrete5.3.3.1 causing a lot of issues with the file manager.

Have you tried replacing the entire /concrete directory in your install with the one you find on sourceforge (blue "host your own" link in our site footer)?

I am hosting with hostmoster. I guess it is the same as bluehost. Yes, I am using simplescripts to install. I tried replacing entire /concrete directory that I downloaded from sourceforge and I am getting the same results of not working File Manager. I cannot load any files or pictures to the site. Is there anything else I can try? Thanks a lot.

Do I need to reinstall all my concrete5 sites now to get File Manager working?

i imagine so.

I just installed a fresh copy of concrete5 5.3.3.1 using simplescripts into a new folder and tested it. Still the same problem. I go to File Manager and chose 3 images to upload, it is uploading files to the server, but I am getting message that 0 files uploaded and after that File Manager is not working any more. Thus, the problem is not fixed. I am going to try to install previous version of concrete5. I have a working site with version 5.3.1.1 on the same server. Thanks.

yeah perhaps you have to go back to the 5.3.2 version and reupdate now that simplescripts is working right?

I just tried to install version 5.3.3 and it works fine, but not 5.3.3.1. Another thing I noticed, that when I install 5.3.3.1 I do not see any files in File Manager that are normally there by default and the default home page does not have any images. Version 5.3.3.1 is most definitely a simplescripts problem.

Thanks for all the feedback and tips. We fixed yet another bug in 5.3.3.1, and had several outsiders run tests that confirm success. Please keep us in the loop if you notice any issues here on out. Thanks!!!

Just saw an example of the blank file manager page at domain.com/index.php/dashboard/files/search/ using Concrete5 version 5.3.3.1 installed with Simplescripts. It seems as though there is still a bug.

Bug is still in the current 5.3.3.1 (downloaded 14.12.2009) and also in 5.3.3

<b>Fatal error</b>: Cannot use [] for reading in <b>/...path.../concrete5.3.3.1/concrete/helpers/form.php(211) : eval()'d code</b> on line <b>1</b><br />

$key contains:
akID[][value]

--> [] is a problem

as a 'quick fix' i uncommented following lines in concrete/models/attribute/types/default/controller.php:

public function search() {
// $f = Loader::helper('form');
// print $f->text($this->field('value'), $value);
}

Has there been any resolution on the Simplescripts end? I am having the same problems as listed above and not images can be uploaded to date....

Thanks for any direction.

This is a major hang-up to using the Concrete5 CMS... any word on when it will be fixed?

this is NOT a Concrete5 issue, this is a problem with simple scripts, if you want to resolved the problem download the zip from the sourceforge page
carterreth replied on at Permalink Reply
So simply unzip the downloaded version of concrete5 from sourceforge (I have done this) and copy it over the current directory on my BlueHost server. Don't I need to edit some the database info?

i suggest doing a fresh install with it

Is there a way to do this without trashing all the custom info in the site? Or can I just copy some files??
I have three different Concrete sites all on the same (current) version one works fine the other two, no file manager!

Hi Folks,

Just had this problem. It's definitely a system permissions problem. For me it went all the way up to my httpdocs dir inside which the concrete5 install lives. I added user apache to group 'psaserv' (GoDaddy hosting), which is a group that had r+x to httpdocs. This made File Manager work again.

Hope this help.

Best,
PJ

Just take backup and replace the concrete folder in the root and the file manager starts working
