I have waded through a few hundred forum posts but can't find my issue. If I try and download from my buzztouch.com or install plug-ins as zips it will not let me. I have FTP the folders to the files/plugins folder and that is fine but when I try and refresh it gives me 'There was a problem finding the /files/plugins directory' also getting The application's data directory on the file system does not exist? This application does not have a data directory on the file system? on my application............ Any thoughts ??? Thanks Title Comments Hi all, just upgraded to self host version 3 and having trouble with plug ins. I have waded through a few hundred forum posts but can't find my issue.

You need to make sure that your /files directory on your server has Read + Write permissions. Make sure this recurs into all the sub directories as well. Comments Ok.

I am also having issues with the app physical path ..... if I put in what I think it should be "/home/username/public_html/BT-server' it comes back with a divide by zero error in line 43 of the config.php. This is really starting to drive me a little bit batty. All was fine on 2.9 but the change to 3 is doing my head in..... Might just resort to the buzztouch server and shy away from the self host.
