RUNNING: 5.5.4patch2
I have been working on restoring my website and forum and had started from scratch. The did have backups which I utilized for the db (database) and the attachments folder.
At one point in the past, I stored attachments in the db, but then later I switched to the fs (filesystem) in the attachments folder that I made to be chmod to 777.
While going through all my settings after uploading my old db and linking it properly in the config.php file and seeing that everything was showing up, I decided to check as to where the forum software thought it was going to store attachments.
I went and did a search in the admincp and came upon the page "Attachment Type Manager".
Please See Attached picture.
Now, it reports that "attachments are currently being stored in the database. This is not what I want.
Naturally, I click on GO to move the attachments from the DB to the FS.
Then I find a conflicting message on the next page that comes up. It now says its going to move my attachments from FS to the DB. Please see attached picture:
Now, the questions are:
1. Is the first page not reporting properly and the files are actually being stored in the FS and not the DB?
2. Or is it the other way around?
3. Even if I hit GO on the second page, these two pages never change at all. They will always report the same exact way.
4. Does anyone know, especially due to this strange behavior, where things are actually being stored?
Not sure if this is a bug with 5.5.4patch2, or, if it is just on my server/website.
***This is a brand new install, only thing only is the database.***
Any insight as to what is going on it greatly appreciated.
