ProjeQtOr Configuration screen: "... does not include a valid directory name ..."

Hi,

I'm currently trying to implement the ProjeQtOr Configuration screen Security hint by moving the following directories and files out of web access:

• Directory to store Attachments: /var/www/clients/client1/web1/files/projeqtor/attachments/
• Temp directory for reports: /var/www/clients/client1/web1/files/projeqtor/reports/
• Log file name: /var/www/clients/client1/web1/files/projeqtor/logs/${date}.log
• Parameter file name: /var/www/clients/client1/web1/files/projeqtor/parameters.php

The directories do already exist and the permissions are set to user "web1" and group "client1" but I get the follwoing error messages:

• incorrect value for 'Directory to store Attachments', this is not a valid directory name
• incorrect value for 'Log file name', does not include a valid directory name
• incorrect value for 'Parameter file name', does not include a valid directory name (/var/www/clients/client1/web1/files/projeqtor)

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Thank you for your answer.

Hi babynus,

Thank you for your suggestions.

First "Temp directory for reports: /var/www/clients/client1/web1/files/projeqtor/reports/" must be kept is web reach.

I have changed it to the ProjeQtOr default setting "../files/report/" and yes, it is clearly written on the right side of the "Temp directory for reports" field which reads "any valid directory in the web structure", so this is my fault.

Unfortunately you did not write why the 3 error messages "incorrect value for ..." do occur:

When I add "web/" between "/var/www/clients/client1/web1" and "/files" so that the settings look like the following:

• Directory to store Attachments: /var/www/clients/client1/web1/web/files/projeqtor/attachments/
• Log file name: /var/www/clients/client1/web1/web/files/projeqtor/logs/${date}.log
• Parameter file name: /var/www/clients/client1/web1/web/files/projeqtor/parameters.php

the 3 error messages do NOT occur and the message "Parameters are saved." occurs.

Please can you shortly explain why the 3 errors are raised when the directory setting is without the addition of "web/", although the directories do exist.

So I will go with that kind of setting, although I am a little bit frustrated because with this setting the directories and files are NOT out of web access.

Additionally for your information it does not make any difference whether the directories and files have been set as user "web1" and group "client1" or have been set as user "www-data" and group "www-data" and in both cases the owner has RWX access rights.
