Unable to create a folder in lower levels of root folder

It appears to me I cannot create a new folder in the lower levels of root folder. Currently, I have to create a new folder right below root folder and then drag it to lower level folder. Why I can't do it in one go. Thanks!

Hi Ray. That is normal behavior for Snow Leopard now. The OS wants to reserve the root level for itself. Also, folders you create at the root level may not accurately reflect the correct permissions.
You want to try to keep all your files/folders in your Home (User) folder. That way all your documents remain portable when you move to another Mac or migrate your data back after an Erase & Install. If your docs are scattered all over the drive there is a chance some stuff will not get transferred during a move. So try to keep everything inside your Home folder.
If you have to place a new folder at the root level, try creating the folder on your Desktop, then dragging it to the root level.

    I keep getting this error in Dreamweaver when I am trying to upload my website?  Can you tell me what I am doing wrong?  here is the error message: /html - error occurred - Unable to create remote folder /html.  Access denied.  The file may not exist, or there could be a permission problem.   Make sure you have proper authorization on the server and the server is properly configured.  File activity incomplete. 1 file(s) or folder(s) were not completed.  Files with errors: 1 /html

    Nobody can tell you anything without knowing exact site and server specs, but I would suspect that naming the folder "html" wasn't the brightest of ideas, since that's usually a default (invisible) folder name existing somewhere on the server and the user not having privileges to overwrite it.

  • Unable to create virtual folder. Too many folders

    Hi,
    We are getting this error while trying to create new folder in UCM (even trying directly from UCM throws same error)
    oracle.stellent.ridc.protocol.ServiceException: Unable to create virtual folder. Too many folders
    Has anyone experienced this? If yes, please let us know how you resolved it.
    Thanks!

    You don't "store" anything in contribution folders. They are just webdav access points. I recommend zero folders personally.
    If you want to upload files using webdav, then I suggest using one staging folder, where files can enter the system. When the document is workflowed and/or verified, it is moved out of the folder. It's more likely however that you'll need a few access points for various types of content as each folder enforces specific metadata.
    Now I imagine you are after a way to store all the HR bits and pieces of one person together as a unit. Some people use Content Folios. Personally, I'd just use a metadata field that contains the ContentID of the person's master record. Any new content for that person just gets the master ContentID stamped on it. Just search for that ContentID to get all their stuff.
    Regarding best practices, there are lots of quality blogs floating around. Stellent/Oracle don't talk about best practice because each system is used by their clients in a unique way... well, that's what they say.

  • HT1449 new folder greyed out, unable to create new folder, anybody know why

    trying to transfer Itunes to a new External drive, unable to create new folder on new drive as detailed in Apple instructions, anybody know why.

    Unless you have a utility that will let you R/W NTFS they as noted - reformat to a +HFS file system - aka -
    Mac OS Extended (Journaled) - using Disk Utility.
    The Mac OS can read/write +HFS and FAT 32 but can only read NTFS.

  • Unable to create remote folder

    When I attempt to go to the data bindings on an ASP form I
    have, I get the following error:
    Unable to create remote folder 550 _mmdbscripts: Access
    Denied
    The form works fine, but I can add any new fields to the form
    because I get this error when I attempt to update the field list
    under server behaviors.
    Any suggestions?

    Does your FTP hang on all sites? Or this this the only one?
    How many sites
    do you have? Does it hang with all folders or only these
    specific ones?
    What happens if you create a new folder in the site and try
    to upload that?
    Such curious FTP problems in DW are almost ALWAYS the result
    of an
    interference from your local firewall - are you running one?

    It is solved now......
    Solution.....
    the contibution folders have a security group "All" and the user that im using to create a new folder was having just R permission to "All" so If you tried to create a new folder from the action list choose link folder then u will get the error that i mentiond above and i think this is the way the content server works "corrent me if im wrong" .now to solve this i gave that user a RW to the "All" security group and now he can create folders.
    Note:what i discovred is that when the system folder has a security group defined then the contibuter the contributer that he want to create a new folder under it must have RW to the security group in the Contribution folders.

  • Unable to create a folder through java code on weblogic server 10GR3

    Hi,
    I have java code which creates a folder and writes an XML file in to it.
    File saveDirectory = new File(storePath);
    if(!saveDirectory.exists()){
    System.out.println("directory doesnt exists");
    boolean isDirectoryCreated = saveDirectory.mkdir();
    System.out.println("directory doesnt exist creating status :"+isDirectoryCreated);
    This code works fine on my local weblogic server.Whereas the one installed on Unix box is not.
    saveDirectory.mkdir() is unable to create a directory at the given path.
    I feel there is some permission problems.
    Please let me know what can be done.
    Thanks,

    I have my Linux/Unix Admin either add me to a group that can do this or create one that can and add me to it.
    If you command prompt can you manually do it now?

  • Unable to create a folder link to a folder located at filesystem repository

    Hello,
    I have created a File System repository manager which is working OK.
    The problem is that when I try to created a link between a folder located inside the /documents repository to any folder located at the repository I defined I receive this error:
    "The item could not be created because an exception occurred in the framework". I couldn't find any meaningful info at the defaultTrace.
    Any ideas?

    Hi Roy,
    (a) If you are (much) below SPS18, maybe try to upgrade.
    (b) Double-check the default trace. It is not impossible, but at least unprobable that there is no info inside.
    (c) If (a) and (b) don't help, open an OSS message...
    Hope it helps

  • Unable to Create Customer Profile at Site Level

    Hello All,
    I am working on R12 Customer Conversions.
    As part of this, i am trying to load the customer profile amounts at levels. 1. Account Level 2. Site Level
    At Account Level, When ever i create a new account defaultly a new record is creating in hz_customer_profiles for the account_id. And i am passing 'cust_account_profile_id' to the hz_customer_profile_v2pub.create_cust_profile_amt. And able to do create customer profile amounts successfully.
    But
    At the Site level, when ever i create a new site, its NOT creating a record in HZ_CUSTOMER_PROFILES. If it creates i can have this 'CUST_ACCOUNT_PROFILE_ID' and pass it to the API
    but its not doing so.
    Could you please tell is there any setup for Creating HZ_CUSTOMER_PROFILES while creating SITE Use.
    Please help me in this.
    Thank you,
    Aush

    Hi Aush,
    There is not specific setup for the same. You might not using the APIs correctly. Did you use hz_cust_account_site_v2pub.create_cust_acct_site API to create site? Once you create the site, you need to defined the site use using api, hz_cust_account_site_v2pub.create_cust_site_use. This Site use api will insert the record into HZ_CUSTOMER_PROFILES for the site record.
    Once you create the site use, then you can define the profile amount using hz_customer_profile_v2pub.create_cust_profile_am API. Hope this is helps you.

  • Unable to create shared folder when creating distribution list

    Hi,
    I am trying to create a new Distribution List in ECC  using T-code SO23.
    The system is not allowing me to create a new Shared Folder (step in creating the DL).
    Instead, I get a message saying 'Folder does not exist' (message code :SO 005)
    I do not have this issue in either the  000 client or in the quality system. I check the authorization objects and general SAP Ofiice settings. Everything looks identical between the systems.
    I would appreciate if any of you have any suggestions/advice?
    Thanks you
    Carrie.

    Hello,
    The following errors occurrd on our D* & Q* system, and SAP recommended that I run program RSSOPRRP (Check and repair the SAPoffice profile SOPR.).  It resolved our issue. 
      Errors: 
      WK308 - Folder Shared folders is no longer available
      SO005 - Folder does not exist
    You might give it at try.  If you still have an issue, open a OSS message.

    Hello,
    I checked the item and folder limits for the library and even though the library is huge it is within limits. The option is enable and the ICON is not grayed out. When I click New Folder icon nothing happens. I am able to create folders in libraries of other

    What is your user permission for that library/site/collection ?
    Can you create a new list / new library ?
    Can you upload new document in same library
    Does this happening newly created library ?
    is it happening to any other subsite ?
    is it happening to any other site colletion?
    Did you try "new folder" from library tab from ribbon?
    It is not permision issue / something else? what it is? javascript error?
