When i attempt to upload a file, .mp4 specifically i get the error:
“You do not have access to this upload directory” but images work fine.

I am using the build:20100810 and the server wizard checks out just fine.

Welcome to the ExpressionEngine forums, Richard.

Are you logged in as a SuperAdmin? Are the download settings set for All or Images Only?

Yes, i am logged in as a Super Admin and my File Upload Preferences are set to “all file types”

Richard,

Can you add mp4 to to list of allowed file types in system/expressionengine/config/mimes.php

Was this a fresh install or an upgrade?

I added the type: ‘mp4’  =>‘video/mp4’ to the list and still no luck i get the same error.
This is a fresh install running on WAMP, i restarted the server after changing the config but it didn’t help.

Hi Richard,

How big is the mp4 file?

Cheers

Greg

about 16mb

gluecat,

Is the upload for the File custom field or an image upload in a regular text area field?

If it is a File custom field then make sure that in it’s custom field options it is set to ‘Any’

If you goto Tools -> Utilities -> PHP Info can you tell us the values for upload_max_filesize, memory_limit and open_basedir

Apparently WAMP’s default upload size is 2mb, i changed it in the config file: C:\wamp\bin\apache\Apache2.2.11\bin\php.ini to 700mb and it worked!!!
Thank You John and everyone for your patience!!!!

gluecat, glad that worked for you. Feel free to start a new thread if you have any more questions.
