In Drupal's status report, I keep getting this error:

"The image module's image directory images is missing."

However, the default file location path (../files/images) does exist and is writeable. What else could be wrong?

I have the same exact problem.

Status Report:
Image module directories Missing temp directory
The image module's temp directory images/temp is missing.

I had the same problem and it was that my temp directory didn't exist not the image directory.

Go to file system and check that your tmp directory is correct.

Thanks, that was it.

It would be nice if the error message was clearer, but... it ain't! :-)

FYI - I posted this issue to the Update Status module project -- perhaps where the problem lies. See http://drupal.org/node/243840

I'm having a problem with this too. I'm designing on a local server using MAMP and the error doesn't register in my site report. When I transfer the site, import the database to the remote server, i'm getting this error despite the file system being identical. I'll let anyone know my fix/error if I find it, but I am open to some suggestions on this. Thanks.

Edit:

This helps.

I didn't configure my .htaccess, just changed the temp folder under File System. Problem fixed. Newb error.
