    This is an old hat, but still a problem…

    1. I have looked at the phpinfo() output for the server

    2. Set the server path and folder correctly

    3. Set the permissions for the folder

    But I still get:

    “The upload destination folder does not appear to be writable”

    When trying to upload to this file upload path.

    It must be some kind of Server issue, however the config looks right (fileupload: on, php-safemode: off)

    Any ideas?

    Cheers

    Turns out:


    2. Set the server path and folder correctly

    Was not set correctly.

    This is a problem all the time since Server path is not equivalent to Server base path…

    Somewhat confusing (according to other forum posts)

    Cheers
