What path to use? #34

Can someone tell me what is the expected value for mediaPath and cachePath? I tried a lot of different options here, but if I use something for mediaPath that is not the absolute path like /var/www/images the images will not be uploaded. But in this case the images aren't printed because this absolute path is also used as src in html...

mediaPath need to be the the absolute file path on the server. It can also be a path outside your webroot. Only php needs read/write permission to this folder. So /var/www/images is correct. mediaPath is the path where image-manager store his original images.

cachePath is the path where the image-manager store al his thumbnails. it need a relative path in you webfolder. So if your site is www.example.com/assets/image with the folder assets/image in the webroot and thats the location where you want to store the images. cachePath need to be 'assets/images'
