I have set the path and tried chmoding the directory to 666 and 777 and still get the following message when I click the link to test the directory in the config settings in admin:

Directory results

Testing '/home/to/directory/on/server'

but is not writeable.

Can anyone figure out why this is not working? I am using 6.3.1. Thanks.

Is the server Linux?

Yes, it is.

Are all the directories leading up to /server set to 666 (at least)?

Ignore the test. Chmod the directory to 777. Try uploading and let us know if it works. Somethimes the tests...hicup.

I don't think the upper directories need to be writable, but they need to be accessible. 555 would probably be adequate.

Err yeah, sorry That's what I was thinkin, but not what my fingers typed out (they have a mind of their own)

You chode bucket, Ortiz.
