Re: File Import permission problem

Weird.

In lib/inc-admin.php , I found this function:
function CheckDataDirPerm() {
   $path =3D str_replace('//','/',FS_PATH."/".DATA_DIR_IMPORT);
   if (  !file_exists($path) || !is_writable($path) ) {
     alert(INCADM_NOPERM);
     exit;
   }
}

That's what the import proggie calls on to check the permissions of the=20
data directory.  I commented out the alert and the exit, and gave it a=20
shot.  It worked.  For some bizarre reason, it's trying to process=20
FORMAT_SAMPLE.txt even though I wasn't checking that file's checkbox.  At=20
any rate, it ran, and gave me this info:

Found 2 file(s) to process in the default import folder.

Whatever it's doing, it looks like it's trying to move files to the backup=
=20
dir after it processes them, and that's where the failure is.

Everything seems okay now.  Now on to the fun of getting it to feed=20
icecast->shoutcast :P

Stress and all, this netjuke thing still rocks.
