Hi Ruben,

Thanks for posting, and welcome to the Gibbon community. I don’t have any experience running Gibbon on a Windows server, but happy to try and help. Are you seeing any related error messages on the server’s PHP logs?

It states some permission problems but I gave full permissons to all the folder for testing:

PHP Warning: mkdir(): Permission denied in C:\\xampp\\htdocs\\gibbon\\src\\Gibbon\\FileUploader.php on line 133, referer: [http://192.168.24.29/gibbon/index.php?q=/modules/Resources/resources\_manage\_add.php&search=&return=error1](http://192.168.24.29/gibbon/index.php?q=/modules/Resources/resources_manage_add.php&search=&return=error1)

Ruben, that is interesting, as it does seem to be a permissions error. Have you search for “window server PHP Warning: mkdir(): Permission denied” to see if you can find any information that might pertain to this issue? I’ve not got enough recent Windows server experience to offer a possible solution. Ross.
