Filename: helpers/version_helper.php
Line Number: 157

Error #2

Anyone have a solution?

Hi tetragram,

Welcome to the forums. Sorry about the errors you are receiving there. We’ll do our best to get you sorted on this.

To that end could you please let me know the version and build numbers of ExpressionEngine that you are working with (these are visible at the bottom of each Control Panel page) and is this a new install or an upgrade that you are working on?

Also you mentioned about the main control nav and posts going through. I was just wondering if you could elaborate on this a bit more as I’m a little fuzzy as to exactly where these errors are occurring.

Thanks.

Mark

Mark,

Its a new EE intsall on version 2.2.2

When I create a template group and post some html into the template and update and save. It redirects me to an error page.
When I go back with the browser the post has gone through. This is the same for custom fields.

Any idea what can be going on? Is it a database issue?

Thanks

Hi tetragram,

It looks like your host may have disabled the mkdir() PHP function, something that is necessary for us to create cache directories. Could you work with your host to enable this?

Guys, thanks for all the help.

Bone head move on my part.

I had set all the permissions of the following folders to 666 instead of 777
/system/expressionengine/cache/
/images/avatars/uploads/
/images/captchas/
/images/member_photos/
/images/pm_attachments/
/images/signature_attachments/
/images/uploads/

Everything is working fine now.

Hi tetragram,

No problem at all. We’ve all done things like that before so you’re definitely not alone there 😉

I’ll go ahead and close this one out but if you have any more problems then please don’t hesitate to post again.

Cheers,

Mark
