Hi,

I am trying to create a file bridge to import files into squiz. I followed below steps to create it.

Gave assets as file bridge name
Gave path as "/var/www/matrix/data/temp"

But after creation, the file bridge is not showing the files/folders under it as shadow assets.

And you gave read access for that folder to the apache user?

HI

On Matrix 4.4.0 and 4.2.4 system, Matrix data directory is forbidden to access by File Bridge asset. This is due to security concern.

Just use any other directory that Apache user has access will be fine.

In latest releases, File Bridge will need to be manually configured in data/private/conf/file_bridge.inc. Manuals will be updated for this change.

Thanks Edison. I configured a directory other than /var/*. It's working perfectly now.
