TOPIC: TCPDF ERROR when sending invoice

TCPDF ERROR when sending invoice 15 years, 5 months ago #21448

Hello, I just updated VMINVOICE because of an TCPDF error. But now I get an error message when sending an invoice, creating the invoice is no problem!

I'm getting this error:

Warning: fopen(/home/daisy/domains/daisyluiten.nl/public_html/invoice_03-0014.pdf) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/daisy/domains/daisyluiten.nl/public_html/administrator/components/com_vminvoice/tcpdf/tcpdf.php on line 8123
TCPDF ERROR: Unable to create output file: /home/daisy/domains/daisyluiten.nl/public_html/invoice_03-0014.pdf

The file tcpdf.php is writable (777). For obvious reasons I can not make the root directory writable. Is there any solution for this?

I just found about this topic with almost the same error, but the location of the invoice is different:

TCPDF ERROR: Unable to create output file: /(/.../..../...//public_html/tmp/invoice_1.pdf

Why is my invoice in the root and not in the tmp directory? Should I change this and does anyone know how to do this?

Hello,

the temp directory in VM Invoice is determined by following lines of code
$mainframe = &JFactory::getApplication();
$tmp = $mainframe->getCfg('tmp_path');
if (substr($tmp, -1) != DS) $tmp .= DS;
define('VMINVOICE_TMP',  $tmp);
(you can find this code in admin part, in helpers/vminvoice.php)

So it loads the tmp directory defined in Joomla Global configuration and simply appends the filename to it.
So I guess your tmp folder in Joomla is not defined properly.
