php warning keeps showing up at top of VM window;
QuoteWarning, the Safe Path is empty, for safety reasons it is very important to create a folder in a path not accessible by an URL, create also a folder invoices in it to store your sensitive data secure. Our suggested path is for your system D:\wamp\mysites\vmfiles, use this link to the config
funny thing is, I created the folder vmfiles as well as another folder inside it called invoices.
and it still keeps popping up.. Grr.
yet this part about ~use this link to the
config .. baffles me.. am I supposed to enter this path into the 'config' some-place?
Grabs Nunchucks!.

Hi Newb2vm,
Yes. That's exactly what it's instructing you to do.
> VIRTUEMART > Configuration > Templates Tab > Media Files Settings Block
add your path in the "Safe Path" field.
Then click SAVE. Presto the warning message is gone.
I hope this helps.
thank you very much for your speedy reply.
I have successfully added the path into the correct area as instructed..
Excellent , another small feat in getting this thing to work smoothly.
for anyone else wondering about wamp & safe path the '/' need to be '\' as in d:\wamp\www\{folder_name}\
I read elsewhere that in a live-site scenario we are to name this folder 'something different and unpredictable' for reasons of security.
Again, much appreciated :D
Happy it's working now.

-- not really. As long as it's outside of your home directory, the user cannot get to it directly anyway. The system still can...
very much appreciated.
Thanks Again.
