Console - Enabling Uploads

Enabling uploads via Sockso's GUI is an easy point-and-click affair, but it's a little more tricky on the server. But just follow these steps and you'll have it up and running in no time.

1) Create Uploads Collection

First you'll need to create a collection where the uploaded files will be stored in. To do this use the coladd command to specify the path to the folder. Then when it's added run collist and make a note of the number that appears to the left of this new folder (this is it's collection ID).

2) Set Properties

You'll then need to set uploads.enabled to yes, and uploads.collectionId to the collection ID of the folder you just added.

You can also use the uploads.allowAnonymous to control whether or not users need to be logged in to upload files. (this defaults to requiring a login before users can upload)
