Did you give that a try without the leading slash in your file path?

[AntonFix]

Yes, both variants has same results with same error.

It looks like you have to use the absolute file path to make it work. (Output the system setting [[++base_path]] (or [[++assets_path]]) and add the value to the @FILE-binding).

---

Unfortunately [[++base_path]] can't be directly used in the @FILE-binding. Maybe it would be a good idea to change the code, to allow placeholders like [[++assets_path]] or {assets_path}.

---

The modFileHandler error seems to be unrelated.

@halftrainedharry - That would make sense, in that the binding can not know which media source (if any) the file is contained in. A way to overcome that would be to allow a parameter in the binding (e.g., @FILE 2 assets/folder/file.txt, where 2 is the media source id). Further, omitting the id parameter would default to the Filesystem source OR the full server path if the given file path begins with a slash).

Hello, Yes, the problem has been solved full server path from the root. Like this: @FILE /home/******/development/******/assets/dist/dictionaries/talenlijst.txt
