`I can't understand what are you mean by the category. Are these the category of the issue (bug, feature, etc.) or a cataegory in the project itself. Explaination whill help so much! Thanks`

`I use categories to separate differents parts of my softwares. For a web site, I often use a category for 'Administration/Backoffice', another for 'Extranet', and another for 'Public website'.`

I have the same confusion. At the moment I take software projects and break them down into subprojects where appropriate (ie engine, backend, user interface...). Then I use the categories to allow bugs to be made a little more specific (ie general, performance, logic, feature request...). This way I can assign bugs to developers who specialize in certain areas. For example, if software is found to be very slow in one particular area of the engine (some CPU intensive processing) then the bug *should* be filed under performance. Then a developer reponsible for problems dealing with performance can address the issue. Just a thought, but really its up to you!

What is the solution? I have all the same message: "Invalid upload path. Directory either does not exist or not writable to webserver" Thanks for your answer!`

I a m curious about sub-projects. Do sub-projects inherit the catagories, versions and custom fields from the mail project? This seams to be one of the most tedious aspects of maintianing projects, if you add a new catagory or version to one you have to do it to all projects that reuqire the same information. Is this a curent feature that I can't seam to find or will this possibly be a future enhancement?

Is it possible to Make Mantis show just plain old list of projects in project selector and Project Management main window? I have a dozen of projects, each of them using some subproject, so I have this subproject displayed a dozen times, making my long project list loooonger. That project tree, showing project hierarchy, is cool only when you have small number of projects at hand... Project hierarchy and dependencies for some given project could be shown in some separate window, but not in general lists.

Hi, Concerning the "Invalid upload path. Directory either does not exist or not writable to webserver" problem in new project. I've looked at the code and I've noticed that the path to use must be a real server path. So, just to make it easier, I've replaced the function file_ensure_valid_upload_path content (in file /core/file_api.php, line 678 in 1.0.3 version) by the the following lines, and now the path can but relative or absolute. function file_ensure_valid_upload_path( $p_upload_path ) { if ( is_blank( $p_upload_path )) { trigger_error( ERROR_FILE_INVALID_UPLOAD_PATH, ERROR ); } if ( !file_exists( $p_upload_path ) || !is_dir( $p_upload_path ) || !is_writable( $p_upload_path ) || !is_readable( $p_upload_path ) ) { $p_upload_path=$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] .$p_upload_path; } if ( !file_exists( $p_upload_path ) || !is_dir( $p_upload_path ) || !is_writable( $p_upload_path ) || !is_readable( $p_upload_path ) ) { trigger_error( ERROR_FILE_INVALID_UPLOAD_PATH, ERROR ); } }

`Re: path problem I had the same problem but after a few attempts at entering absolute paths I tried a relative path and it worked. I set the permissions on the dir to 777 beforehand though. It is relative to the index page inside the main directory. I put a folder called 'uploads' in the same dir as mantis and put 'uploads' into the path field and it worked.`
