always invalid folder path

[Aussie John]

I am trying to change the database and the backup folders but I always get a "not a valid path" message. The folders are on a separate disk. The name of the disk is WHP_FMdata so cant see invalid characters.

Presumably you are commenting about FM Server??

FMS will only backup to INTERNALLY mounted drives. The path spec always ends with "/".

Thanks

yes FMS server advanced

and yes internal drive

Path start with "filemac" and end with a / character?

Also what are the permissions on the target drive? Does FMS have read/write?

Permissions seems to be the trick - thanks

I hope this is similar enough. I am getting the following error message when trying to upload a new database to FMS 10 (OS X 10.5.8).

"One or more of your destination folders does not have enough space for the specified upload or it does not exist."

I don't think this is actually the issue, rather I think it's permissions.

fmsadmin and admin have read & write but I've noticed all other databases on this server also include read & write for fmserver.

Any ideas where I need to go?

Thanks

I'm getting exactly the same problem. It does "Checking file configuration" for exactly 2 minutes and then it complains with the "One or more..." alert box. I changed permissions for the local file to allow almost anyone full access, but I get the same problem. The file is only 36KB, so there must be something else wrong.

Do you remember what you did to get around this problem?
