[FX.php List] Question about uploading to a 2nd drive

[Bob Patin]

I've got an old site that is now using a RAID for the pages on its site; I have an upload function that allows clients to upload images.

I'm trying to repoint the PHP to the external drive, but nothing I've tried seems to work. I've given the proper r/w privileges to the folder, and I know that's not the issue; my path is not correct, apparently.

Assuming I have a 2nd drive called "External" and that I have a folder structure like this:

Documents/web_folder/logos

I tried this:

Volumes/External/Documents/web_folder/logos/<filename>

but that doesn't work. What would be the proper file path that I should be using?

Thanks,

Bob Patin
