I keep getting the following error, “The upload path does not appear to be valid” when I try to upload a file. I have recently changed servers. Does anyone have any idea where I should check to correct this problem? Thanks for any help.

Thanks for the help. I was able to get the file to upload (an image), but now the image is not showing up and just the broken picture icon is shown.
the website is: http://www.raidonations.org/index.php/RAI-Site/partners/ if you scroll down to “paul” at the bottom, you will see what I am talking about. Any advice would be great. Thanks!

You probably need to update the path of the URL to your upload directory.

Hi jjstakem,
I’m happy to see that Nick was able to get you sorted out. Thanks for the assist, Nick!
If you need anything else, just open a new thread.
