| windows install bug with directories - and workaround
On a Windows/IIS install, after providing the requisite info to the installer, I found that 2 or 3 of the file paths were mangled. In both the admin screen and right in the db, the paths looked like this
d:inetpubwwwrootarea1photopost...etc
... when they should have looked like this ...
d:\inetpub\wwwroot\area1\photopost\...etc
What I had to do was manually update any of the fields that looked like the first one to look like second one. Actually, after I did that, I noticed that the backslashes \ had been turned into double backslashes \\, and the system still couldn't do uploads.
Then I manually changed those fields to use single forward slashes, like this
d:/inetpub/wwwroot/area1/photopost/...etc
which solved it.
I hope this helps someone.
