<p></p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>{{glossary | description = The path to a directory readable and writable by the webserver where PhpGedView should store media files (include the trailing &quot;/&quot;). PhpGedView does not require this directory's name to be &quot;media/&quot;. You can choose any name you like. See [[Configuration_-_Multimedia#Multimedia_Directory]] for more information.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You can move media files to a protected directory outside the webserver accessible area (i.e. outside where a URL can retrieve them). See [[Media_Firewall]] for more information. Note that if you do this, you must still have a &quot;media/&quot; directory in the webserver accessible area as the [[Media_Firewall]] works by trapping the error when the file is not found in this default place.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strike&gt;Need to verify the following statement: [[User:MarekZ|MarekZ]]&lt;br/&gt;For security, this directory should be placed somewhere in the server's file space that is not accessible from the Internet. An example of such a structure follows:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;PhpGedView:&lt;/b&gt; dir1/dir2/dir3/PhpGedView&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Media:&lt;/b&gt; dir1/dir4/dir5/dir6/media&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For the example shown, you would enter &lt;b&gt;../../dir4/dir5/dir6/media/&lt;/b&gt; in this field.&lt;/strike&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;''Used in:'' [[Configuration - Multimedia#Multimedia Directory|Gedcom Configuration - Multimedia]]}} [[Category:PGV Configuration Fields]]</div>
