[Chameleon] Moving an application dir ...

Tue Feb 28 16:25:52 EST 2006

Hi,
Let me guess something else.
Since Chameleon and your application are not on the same disk, it 
propably cause problems. Since you load the application on a drive (Let 
say E:/), chameleon thinks from there that it runs on this disk. So when 
it try to save the web images in the tmp folder, it goes in the E:/ 
drive. Changing the current directory may solve your problem. To do so, 
call chdir(/disk/where/your/chameleon/is/installed). You can also 
hardcode the drive letters in your config files.
