    'images_folder_name' => '../../media/photos',

i have same problems, in my case i'm using default config . i think this issue placed in traits helper lfm, where in lfmController construct function (isProcessingImages & files) always return true, this happen because in index view request method not work , ajax sending as null work dir. check in vendor resource filemanager at index.blade , and set value input name "type" to Images or Files, this work for me. this not good solution, but will help me while this issue solved. sorry for my bad english.

@g0110280 i have done several ways, including your suggestions. but still didn't fix the problem and i was forced to go back on version ^1.6 and it worked fine.

[madun92]

of course , because in v 1,7 use lfm traits ,and this issue place on it.

Even in images it never accept underscore (_) in the image name it gives the same issue

Action failed, due to server error

I used the asset and url features of laravel and the problem was solved.

and
path_absolute : "{{ url('/') }}/"

[nauvalazhar]

I found a solution for a while, i don't know this is a great solution or not. But this has solved my problem, i try to move base_directory to storage and put a new route to access files in the storage directory.

Route::get('media/images/shares/{filename}', function ($filename) {
    $path = storage_path() . '/media/images/shares/' . $filename;
  if(!File::exists($path)) return view('errors.404');

  $file = File::get($path);
  $type = File::mimeType($path);

  $response = Response::make($file, 200);
  $response->header("Content-Type", $type);

  return $response;
});

i hope this helps

I found that @g0110280 from commit "remove all parameters passed by show() in LfmController" => b4e810f2a0135d4e8448ead9a9e083a36e3e293e (Feb 01) (view/index.blade.php), but /laravel-filemanager don't redirect to /laravel-filemanager?type=Images so "type" param is always "", and so that

if (!$this->isProcessingImages() && !$this->isProcessingFiles()) {
   throw new \Exception('unexpected type parameter');
  }

always throw Exception.

I don't know to fix it, because this is first time I use Laravel File Manager:
but you can pass "type" param from to LfmController@show like this

public function show()
    {
        return view('laravel-filemanager::index')->with([            
            'file_type'    => $this->currentLfmType(true),
        ]);
    }

and change view\index.blade.php
<input type='hidden' name='type' id='type' value="{{ request('type') }}">
to
<input type='hidden' name='type' id='type' value="{{ request('type') ?? $file_type }}">

or just change this only
<input type='hidden' name='type' id='type' value="{{ request('type') ?? 'Images' }}">

the problem is just faced me, and I solve it by giving the "public" folder or permissions and ownership by the following command in the terminal of the vps server of ubuntu:
" sudo chmod -R 775 /var/www/laravel/public "

copy and paste this command in the ssh terminal.
the problem was when I open the filemanager an Error message was just keeping popup. the message tells an error due to the server.
this is my Email: ahmad.[email protected] if anyone want help.

Please upgrade to v1.7.2. The message "Action failed, due to server error." occurs when ajax requests fail in any reason. So this issue is ambiguous. Exception messages will be displayed instead of "Action failed, due to server error." in v1.7.2.
