1.6 rc4 Problems on Local Server

Hi i am testing 1.6rc4 on my XAMPP local server and found some windows path related errors, probably this errors will not happen in a unix/linux server but i thought that reporting this errors could help ironing out any bugs still unsolved.

On activation i got the following errors (only appeared once):

Warning: opendir(D:\xampp\htdocs\xxxx/wp-content/uploads/gravity_forms/,D:\xampp\htdocs\xxxx/wp-content/uploads/gravity_forms/) [function.opendir]: The system cannot find the file specified. (code: 2) in D:\xampp\htdocs\xxxx\wp-content\plugins\gravityforms\common.php on line 65

Warning: opendir(D:\xampp\htdocs\xxxx/wp-content/uploads/gravity_forms/) [function.opendir]: failed to open dir: No such file or directory in D:\xampp\htdocs\xxxx\wp-content\plugins\gravityforms\common.php on line 65

Later i went to create a new form with no problem (did not try to save the form) then tried to activate some plugins but all i got is the error bellow, i deactivated all my plugins and still the same, every time i activate GF i get the error.

Fatal error: Call to undefined method GFCommon::recursive_add_index_file() in D:\xampp\htdocs\xxxx\wp-content\plugins\gravityforms\gravityforms.php on line 403

I checked the code and it is another path related error.

Hope this helps.

Hi Alex, the problem happens only in windows when GF is activated for the first time and it tries to creates the folder wp-content\uploads\gravity_forms, since the folder already exists in your setup you don't get the error.

I checked the code and the problem seems to be in the copy_post_image function in forms_model.php.

Hope this helps.

Hello Carl, remember XAMPP works under windows not linux, so it can't be a permission error.
It seems the problem is with the path separators, linux uses "/" and windows uses "\", when you look at the path string in the error message you can see it has both separartors.
