Mantis Bug Tracker - Forums

Hi All
I tried the system utility "Move attachments stored in database schema to disk files." but it does not work. it states that no project was selected However there's no checkbox or selector to use in the tool itself to select the project; and selecting the project in the main selector (top right corner) does not help.
What am I not seeing or doing wrong?

I am using MantisBT v2.1.

Thanks in advance for your help

You have to set a path for the attachments.

You can set it per project (check the project setting) or for the whole instance (set $g_absolute_path_default_upload_folder)

Hi

thanks for your answer.
I tried to set that value in the database but it appears that it can only be set in config_inc.php
I found no field to configure this per project in the project settings view.
I set this : $g_absolute_path_default_upload_folder = '/var/www/html/MantisBT_FilesExport/'; after creating that folderm assigning it to the correct user and changing the read and write rights.

However I am still getting the same error as reported in the 1st post of this thread.

You have to add the following line to config_inc.php

thanks it has worked fine.
it seems that this is not described in the admin manual.
