So I'm building a site in drupal 6.2 and have installed the Webform module.
When trying to add the "file upload" option of the form I am getting an error message:
"The save directory files/webform could not be created. Check that the webform files directory is writtable."

I have the CHMOD set to 777 for the files folder, even tried it at 755.

I have it working on other websites of mine that are running older versions of Drupal, so I have no idea why this one is having issues other than maybe the Webform module really isn't ready for Drupal 6.2.

Comments? Suggestions?

Thanks.

In Drupal 6, it seems to me that the files directory has been moved under sites/default (at least for new installations, I don't have a clue about upgrades from 5.x). So, my guess is that webform must change the path where it looks for saving and reading the files submitted by the users. I think there is already a similar issue (check this comment).

Interesting. Their edit didn't take. The system kept saying now that the file didn't exist. But what is more interesting is that by reentering the sites/default/files path in the field on the 'File System' page after that error the Webform module all of a sudden accepted the original default path. So it appears that with this glitch you need to reenter the path for it to take.

Thanks for helping!
