> [@mstenta](#): > > I’m not sure why Plant Type uploads aren’t… that may indeed be a bug. I tested this and I cannot replicate it. ~~Although I wonder: can you look in your `sites/default/files` directory to see if the plant type image was uploaded there instead of `sites/default/private/files`? The former is “public” while the latter is “private”. If it’s in the “public” directory, that might suggest there’s a bug when farmOS is installed without a private filesystem configured… please let me know.~~ Edit: oops I mixed things up - disregard the above. (Although maybe still worth checking to see if anything was uploaded into `sites/default/files` public directory (or a subdirectory therein)… ---

Cross-posting [Share your JupyterLite Examples - #7 by Symbioquine](https://farmos.discourse.group/t/share-your-jupyterlite-examples/1134/7) for future reference since some folks may find JupyterLite a compelling way to do their KML imports - especially if they need more control over how fields are mapped/transformed during import. ---

I changed to Ubuntu Linux, also with Docker. Same thing here: I cant upload files. Here are some snapshots: ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/free1/uploads/farm_os/original/1X/b47c6da1672fbfbbfef02668a2860abdead3a185.png) ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/free1/uploads/farm_os/original/1X/7dce401bd5fa2267b5cd381321b35380ee100575.png) ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/free1/uploads/farm_os/original/1X/f375df6e7ce032f52e53be02f67d5c69616a03bc.png) ---

@Farmy Hmm it does look like your configuration is correct. Is this only affecting the KML import? Are you able to upload to assets/terms now? What Docker image are you using? `farmos/farmos:2.0.0-beta2`? Or `farmos/farmos:2.x-dev`? I see that `sites/default/private/files` has full write access to everyone, but it is owned by `papa:papa`. Normally you would have a group of `www-data`, and only owner/group write access. I’m curious if a `kml` directory exists inside `files` and what the ownership/permission of that is… ---

After much sleuthing and pain here’s how I ultimately solved the upload issue Seems to be a filepath problem remove the first slash as in **change** ` /opt/drupal/web/sites/default/private/files` **to** ` opt/drupal/web/sites/default/private/files` hopefully that’ll fix your problem ---

The problem is solved. Not that I changed anything, but suddenly it worked. I just can imagine that certain caches were not flushed or any garbage collection didn’t work for hours. Is there any other way to flush caches except under Configuration - Development - Performance - Clear all caches? ---

Huh. Well glad it’s working! Although I wish we knew the cause. 🤔 > Is there any other way to flush caches except under Configuration - Development - Performance - Clear all caches? That’s the main one - and should clear all Drupal caches. But I don’t think that would affect this… Did you restart your server? I wonder if PHP’s `opcache` was affecting it… ---

Yes, I restarted the server several times. ---

If it started working after restarting the server, then perhaps PHP’s Opcache was to blame. 🤷 [Previous page](https://farmos.discourse.group/t/kml-import-in-2-x/1108.md?page=1)
