Title: Error 500 accessing configuration section of VM - Log say Safe Path
Post by: brihoop on March 17, 2015, 19:36:21 PM
Hi,

Whenever I access the configuration section of my VM instance I get an error 500. All other sections of VM are OK.

In my VM log I have the following error at the same time.

2015-03-17 15:20:41 ERROR vmError: Warning, the Safe Path is not accessible (does not exist or no permission), 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 C:\Plesk\VHOSTS\shadecentre.co.uk\vmfiles, use this link to the config

I have checked and the folder exists and looks to have correct permissions, but of course I can't check the config of VM to be sure its looking in that location because I get a Error 500!!

Joomla 3.3.6
Virtuemart 3.0.4
Windows 2012 IIS 8

IMHO the safe path error is not what is causing the fatal error - the safe path error shows on all my dev and test sites cos I don't bother to config a safe path
But it doesn't kill the server..

r u really on Plesk and IIS?
