Hi all!

I am having problems to modify or delete anythings since I have created the confog.php file and enabled debug mode and add a smtp server

I can add anything but I cannot delete.

Any suggestion?

Thanks in advance

It seem that when I enable debug mode I cannot delete or modify anything.

can you post here your debug settings? DATA\_DIR, LOG\_DRIVER and LOG\_FILE.

Are you using sqlite or another database? can you upload files to the task?

Yes I cannot upload files to the task.

and yes , I am using sqlite

Here is the debug settings made in config.php :

> // Data folder (must be writeable by the web server user and absolute)  
> define(‘DATA\_DIR’, **DIR**.DIRECTORY\_SEPARATOR.‘data’);
> 
> // Enable/Disable debug  
> define(‘DEBUG’, true);
> 
> // Available log drivers: syslog, stderr, stdout, system or file  
> define(‘LOG\_DRIVER’, ‘file’);
> 
> // Log filename if the log driver is “file”  
> define(‘LOG\_FILE’, ‘data’.DIRECTORY\_SEPARATOR.‘debug.log’);

Thanks

I would guess it’s a permission issue but if the database file is being written, it may not. Or the permissions are not set recursively. Does the webserver user has write acces to the `data` folder?

Thanks for the reply

I have not set the webmail yet. As soon as I enable the log file, I cease to be eable to add anything: Users, Files in task etc…

Rights for the data folder is set to everybody.
