scandir failed to find images in imgroot

[Solarbotics]

NOT a PHP coder by any stretch, so my answer is definitely a kludge.

After getting the ArchLinux/nginx running, I got the script to work but NOT find my img file. My brute force answer was to move the directory containing the images ("/etc/osid//imgroot") to a subdir of the http folder ("/etc/osid/www/public_html/imgroot")

I then changed the code in index.php as follows:
// $ImageFiles = scandir('/etc/osid/imgroot');
$ImageFiles = scandir($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/imgroot');

Looking fwd to using it now!

Ok, I had to also change the path in the "/etc/osid/system/write.sh". Plus, I broke the file sizer for the image size. Go figure...

Darn. I get stuck at the popup window that says "Connecting to image write sub-system... "

• progress.info is null
  -status.info is 1
  So... I think it's starting the write.sh file, but it's not getting the the "set the status of the job to two (in progress). Sigh^2. Well, I'll eval it again later.

You might want to look at or use the install script I wrote. It is in my fork.

It's also possible to slightly widen the open_basedir restriction in /etc/php5/fpm/php.ini to be :/etc/osid
and it will be able to read the image files in the original location.
