Forum OpenACS Q&A: File Manager
I have installed the file mangaer package on my version of OpenACS 4.6.3. I am using Red Hat Linux 8.0 and PostgreSQL 7.2. I am having some problems with the package. On the navigation bar, the main folder is the "www" folder under "/web/myservice/www". I dont if that was the only folder with files we can edit or if we could edit files/pages under other packages. I was successful in creating a new folder but when I want to add a file to the new folder, I get this error:

Could you tell me what is wrong with this picture.
I also tried to edit a file I have stored under the "www" folder. After modifying, and filling out the comment box, when I click "commit" this is what I get:
no value given for parameter "exception_text" to "ad_return_complaint" while executing "ad_return_complaint "
[ad_parameter Extensions file-manager]"" invoked from within "if {![empty_string_p $title] && [empty_string_p [file ext $title]]} { ad_return_complaint "
We had some problems processing your entry: * You must supply a value for file_content * You must supply a value for path * You must supply a value for message Please back up using your browser, correct them, and resubmit your entry. Thank you.So what is going wrong. Am I not using this package correctly or are these known problems? Thank you for your help
James - I had a similar problem and, after some trials and searching found a bug report at: <https://openacs.org/bugtracker/openacs/com/file-manager/bug?bug_number=28>.
To correct it, you can download updated code from the CVS server (guidelines are at <https://openacs.org/4/checkout> and put it in place by hand (command line or file manager).
From there, I updated the files in the Package Manager (and remounted in Site Map ... probably a bit of overkill). Anyway, it now works. Hope this will help you, too!
