Title: Wppa 7: Path Errors with WP Multisite on Localhost Last modified: December 17, 2018 --- # Wppa 7: Path Errors with WP Multisite on Localhost * Resolved [faberia](https://wordpress.org/support/users/faberia/) * (@faberia) * [7 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wppa-7-path-errors-with-wp-multisite-on-localhost/) * Dear Sirs * Thanks a lot for providing WPPA with its great functionality. * Today I began to test the Plugin on my Windows Localhost for WordPress Multisite. * I get the following Error: * _Warning:The uploads directory does not exist or is not writable by the server. Please make sure that D:\www\wp\_wppa\_mu/wp-content/uploads/sites/1/wppa is writeable by the server._ or _Could not create the wppa directory. Ask your administrator to give you more rights, or create D:\www\wp\_wppa\_mu/wp-content/ uploads/sites/2/wppa manually using an FTP program._ * See the different path separators! * Ø Nothing doesn’t work properly (uploads, imports, load settings …) * Unfortunately it doesn’t help creating the folders manually. * not affected: • no problem on webhost with mutlisite wppa individual • No problem with wp single and wppa on localhost * My Environment: OS: Win7 Pro 64 * Localhost: Wamp serv 3.1.4 64bit D:\www (document path) * Wordpress Multisite: Wp 5.0.1 (Fresh setup) D:\www\wp_wppa_mu * wppa 7.0.05.016, multisite individual (Followed [https://wppa.nl/de/changelog/installation-notes/](https://wppa.nl/de/changelog/installation-notes/)) define( ‘WPPA_MULTISITE_INDIVIDUAL’, true ); // Multisite WP 3.5 or later with every site its own albums and photos * It seems that the path separators influence. * Thanks for your support * faberia Viewing 4 replies - 1 through 4 (of 4 total) * Plugin Author [Jacob N.

Once this is clear, i can provide a fix. * Thread Starter [faberia](https://wordpress.org/support/users/faberia/) * (@faberia) * [7 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wppa-7-path-errors-with-wp-multisite-on-localhost/#post-11003695) * Dear Jacob * Thanks for your reply. * For first, today I tested and found this issue also on Win 10, not only on win 7. * The differences (multi vs single) with the slashes are found at • WPPA_UPLOAD_PATH– The upload directory path. • WPPA_DEPOT_PATH – The depot directory path.
