Hello.

I just uploaded my 1st drupal site to the server.

When trying to upload a photo from "user management" -> "users" I get:

"# /home/shayleon/drupalTmp/tmp_RYwB2E could not be uploaded, because the destination is not properly configured.
# Failed to upload the picture image; the pictures directory doesn't exist or is not writable."

Despite the above error, the image was actually uploaded to the aforementioned directory, but is still not shown in the user profile.

I have tried to change the system directories from the above to "files" and "files/tmp", and to set the download method to 'public', but it makes no difference.

Any ideas?

Thanking you.
Shay.

both directories also have .htaccess files which seem fine.

solution found. had to set permissions on the server folder to 755, and it works now.

Trying to keep this issue alive.
Anyway, I´ve created a new one here. I´ve added a little index of the other issues related to this aswell...

Here's what worked for me on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and PHP 5.2.x:

chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/files/pictures/

chmod 775 /var/www/files/pictures/

You might want to use 777 if 775 doesn't work.
