Configuration->Files: all folders except scorms ! Unaccessible !

[tech]

running Ubuntu 7 LAMP server. all configurations check out fine
backups, docs and temp folders are all listed as unaccessible. I've moved them to multiple places and enabled read and write file permissions. I've restarted Apache after each change, nothing changes the ! Unaccessible ! message. Im' a noob to Joomla and joomlalms. what should I check?

thanks much

Path to 'SCORMs' folder should be relative (from the root of your site), i.e. 'scorms'. In this case absolute path to the SCORMs will be the path of your site + 'scorms'.

Path to the temp folder is also relative. Make sure that this folder is created in the root of your site.

Paths to documents and backups should be absolute paths.
If you've created folder 'docs' in the root of your site, then you should enter 'path\to\your\site\docs' as path to documents folder.

How to determine path to your site?
You can see it in the configuration.php file, it is located in the $mosConfig_absolute_path variable.

god I'm such a choad. I'm working with Linux for the 1st time in a few years, I've been a microsoft admin for years. I was forgetting the root filesystem (\) designation at the beginning of the absolute path. I.E. \var\www\joomla\media\jlms_docs

thanks so much for your help, I'm sure I'll be asking some more noob type questions.

We have moved a customer to a new server.

Now the temporary folder for JMLS is marked as unwritable... We can't even find the temp folder....

We have created jlms_temp and temp in the folder jlms (where the other - writable - folders are) and set them to 777 .... still temp appears as unwritable.....

What am I missing???

Please check the following points:
1) path to 'temp' folder needs to be configured as 'relative' url, e.g. if server path to your site is '/home/mysite/public_html/' and server path to 'temp' folder is '/home/mysite/public_html/jlms_temp/', then JoomlaLMS temp folder needs to be configured as 'jlms_temp'.
2) If 'jlms_temp' folder is created in your site root folder, e.g. in the 'public_html' folder as in the example above, then try changing permissions for 'public_html' folder.

I simply missed the "Files" tab in the configuration.... Silly me. This is what happens when are doing extra nigh shifts to move to a new server.... It's fixed now and works again as it should.
Thanks for your help, Den.
