The upload path does not appear to be valid -> WAMPServer2

[eluser]codex[/eluser]
Hi,

I'm developing locally with WampServer2. I'm trying to upload stuff but I keep getting the error 'The upload path does not appear to be valid', while I'm pretty sure it IS valid.

Code:

$config['upload_path'] = 'F:/wamp/www/domein/temp/';

Is there something I might be missing? And how do you set permissions on local directories (is this needed?)?

Im Guessing your on Windows. But to set a directories write/read setting in windows you need to right click on the folder in question then click properties. then in here you chould be able to check if the folder is read only or not.

If you execute this code, what do you get?

Code:

var_dump(is_dir('F:/wamp/www/domein/temp/'));

Yeah, that's what I thought too, and did. But for some strange reason when I deactivate read-only, close the properties, open properties again, read-only is activated again. Weird.

Then I get bool(true).

don't you have to use double slashes for windows?

Code:

$config['upload_path'] = 'F://wamp//www//domein//temp//';

I don't think so. Either way, I tried that but still nothing. :-(

And what are you getting after

Code:

echo realpath('F:/wamp/www/domein/temp/');

?
