Alyanm,

I don't have much time today, but I did make a test.

I viewed the calendar with Firefox. Closed Firefox. Changed the calendar and uploaded to the site. Restarted Firefox, and viewed the calendar. The changes were not there. Cleared cache, reloaded the page, and everything is good.

I have read that you can use a meta tag to force loading the page from the server, but I also read that it does not always work. The meta code is:
<meta http-equiv="expires" content="0">

That might work.

Scott,

I took out the public_html and left that field blank. The upload works great now!
Also tested with a "/" or /public_html and that works too. I was too stuborn, silly or just plain dumb not to have tried that before. :|

This even fixed the problems I was having with Photo Gallery. It seems those files were also sent to the server, but not inside the public_html folder at all. That is why the photo gallery "could not create folder" for the "files" that holds the image. It was trying to create the folder in the same directory as the public_html instead of inside the public_html folder.

I bet the Form builder uploads will now work for me as well. Will let you know.

I have learned a valuable lesson today. My upload issues have not been due to the software, but to user error. I will remember this when trying to help others in the forum.

Cliff: now I know what to try on mine to get it to work! I'm gonna give that a shot first chance I get.

Bill: Interesting, I wonder if thats what Scott's suggestion achieves? I haven't tried his thing out yet, been on the road last couple days but I want to try that out.

Alyanm,

Which one of Scott's suggestions are you referring to? The "Fix for displaying active content"?

I have that option activated, but it does not seem to empty the cache on Firefox. Maybe I can test IE tomorrow, and see if it fixes the IE refresh.

Bill: Yes, thats the one. So that didn't do it then? Well I guess you saved me some time, thanks :)
