GJvanWijk I hate code! Posts: 95 Reg: Dec 19, 2011 location unknow... 6,000	confirm \| cancel 03/06/13 10:01 PM (12 years ago) Update caused problems I updated to 2.1.8 and it looked all ok until I logged in to the panel. It looks like my 'files' can't be found. What I did: copied all the new BT files except the files directory. I changed the config files. I tested the api key and that was all ok. I can Login without a problem. But when I open an app there's the text The application's data directory on the file system does not exist? This application does not have a data directory on the file system? When I try to refresh plugins there's a warning There was a problem finding the /files/plugins directory I checked the access rights of the 'files' directory and it is 755 HELP!!!!

It may be missing a value, or perhaps the value is slightly off.

GJvanWijk I hate code! Posts: 95 Reg: Dec 19, 2011 location unknow... 6,000	03/07/13 02:53 AM (12 years ago) No I installed it. Unzipped the package, copied it to the BT server directory, except for the 'files' directory. Then did an install which went ok, no issues so far.

If you haven't, you should. Make a copy of your config.txt file before you do, just in case.
