just wanted to check wether i'm being boneheaded about this or this is a legitimate bug to report ...

Just as I did with with my 4.63 installation ...
I made a directory called "files" and and another called "tmp" inside "files", both with the correct read write permissions.
Went to the settings and set "files" as file system path and "tmp" as temporary directory.

drupal flags Temporary directory as an error with this message:

warning: mkdir() [function.mkdir]: No such file or directory in /Users/Johan/Sites/drupal-cvs/includes/file.inc on line 85.

* The directory does not exist.
* The settings have not been saved because of the errors.

i tried moving tmp into the root drupal directory and then the root server directory with no luck.

i deleted everything and tried the same procedure on a 4.63 package and everything installs smoothly.

OSX, apache

Is this my fault?

Two problems. One. You should have filed a bug report instead of using a forum post. Two, the problem is known and there is a patch. http://drupal.org/node/35575

sorry, i wanted to check first wether this was my fault before i wasted the developer's time.

thanks for pointing out the patch, no amout of site searching or googling could come up with that. i guess i should look thorugh all the issues first before asking.
