I have installed Drupal 6, trying to change THEMES i get the following warning:
warning: is_dir(): Stat failed for sites/default/files/css (errno=13 - Permission denied) in xxxxx/includes/file.inc on line 886.
I don't have any CSS in sites/default/files.
Never had it before on 5.5. Any idea what it is?Thanks

I'm using now FOLIAGE, don't remember what was on , but was the default. I think is some kind of statistic a new feature for Drupal 6.

Has anyone got anything on this...?

I have also received this message using both the Garland and Minella themes... It seems to have appeared out of nowhere for me as I upgraded from 6.0 to 6.1 a couple of weeks back and everything worked fine. I went back in to the site today and there was no theme on it. When I look at the them configuration everything is okay but when I try to save configuration changes all I get is:

warning: is_dir(): Stat failed for sites/default/files/css (errno=13 - Permission denied) in /hsphere/local/home/blahblahblah/mysite.com/includes/file.inc on line 886.

Workaround for this issue

Guys... I don't know what was actually going wrong here however I was able to get rid of the error messages by deleting and re-creating the files directory and re-registering it in Site Configuration > File System...

Obviously if you have anything in that directory back it up and restore it back in afterwards.

Check your permissions!

I'd changed the permissions on a template folders without realizing - this page helped me see that was the problem, thanks everyone!
