Joomla 1.5 Upload Errors - Plesk

Just recently ran into an issue with extension uploads on Joomla 1.5.x on a Windows Plesk server. The host was Lunarpages.

While there are lots of posts on this issue trying to implicate the php version etc. The issue really came down to permissions plus the tmp and logs dir path. Most host providers will tell you that the tmp dir should be the relative root for the site, however on plesk there must be a complete server dir path for these two settings in the Global Configurations section of the administrator settings:

Log in to the Administrator section of the site.

Click on Global Configuration

Click on the server tab.

Under Path to TMP folder put: “D:\Inetpub\vhosts\mywebsite.com\subdomains\mysubdomain\httpdocs\tmp”

Click on the system tab

Under Path to Log Folder put:”D:\Inetpub\vhosts\mywebsite.com\subdomains\mysubdomain\httpdocs\logs”

Hope this helps others. leave a comment if it does!

Zoe is Coming Home Saturday

Zoe is headed back to SC on Friday…YEAH. She just posted a new woodward video I thought i would share:

Psalms - Contemporary Stylin

Aly’s Dad is a Reformed Presbyterian Pastor, (White Lake Church) and they only sing psalms in worship. As a result, we pay attention to psalms used in worship a lot. One of Alysen’s friends came across this group that sing psalms, and I find them interesting. Take a listen by clicking on their link and then selecting “Listen” from the top right of their menu: Sons of Korah

Faith, Hope, Love

I have been pondering these three for the last week or so. Cool things going on in life. I remembered that Erwin McManus’ church The Mosiac focuses on these three things, and so I browsed around The Mosaic site today for a while. Wandered over to the Urban Poet website. Man these guys are very cool:

Apple 2

This is a new painting on a similar theme of another apple painting I did a couple of years ago. The glare is terrible, but I will get a better picture after it dries. Feels good to be working regularly again. Hopefully soon I can spend a few Saturdays on larger works. The apple and the self portrait are 20X24

So Aly’s tat is now featured on the artist’s website, take a look:

Painting Again

It seems like FOREVER since I have painted at all. In fact as I thought over how long it had been, this is perhaps the longest consecutive time that I have gone without painting since I started back in middle school. Needless to say, it felt good to get back at it.

I am sure my family will be happy about it as well, since they say I am much nicer when I am painting, but personally I think they are crazy, heheheheee.

Often when I have been through a time of not painting I will do a self portrait, especially in times of transition and change, which appears to be that type of phase in my life right now…

Sinlists and Us

Oddly I was discussing a Derek Webb song with some friends last night, where Derek sings about having our sins on the evening news, and how refreshing that would be. This morning Aly sent me this video. God is very cool…this video was on the top Viral Videos today:
