Unable to open File error message

[nobby2]

After I upload a file (progress bar indicates the file is completed) i get the error:

JFile: Unable to open File
warning - failed to move file
error. Unable to upload file

I am using version 1.0.5 on both IE and Firefox and have tried:
permissions of upload directory and the entire download componant.
increased the file upload limit.

Can any one help!

Hi, maybe there are some restriction on your server. Do you have enabled FTP layer?

[nobby2]

Thanks Jan for your reply. I am using the host Siteground that claims to cater for Joomla !
Can you tell me where to find the ftp layer status? or is this a host control panel level?
I will have a look inside the Joomla componant.

I found the ftp layer in joomla and it was not enabled. So that doesnt appear to be the problem.

it was not enabled

it needs to be enabled

Hi, then you need to change settings on your server

I know this is an old thread, but I am having the same problem, it doesn't work if the FTP is enabled under any circumstances, but it does work if the FTP is not enabled on smaller files. Any large files say over 2MB it comes up with the above error.

I have a php.ini file with

upload_max_filesize 20M
post_max_size 20M

in it but this isn't doing anything, I have reset the apache but nothing.

Any ideas.

This thread has given some pointers http://forum.joomla.org/viewtopic.php?f=431&t=291490 I have reset the apache and it is now letting me upload.

I am on a VPS so if your php.ini file is in a strange place you may need to get your host to make the changes.
