Server that was hosting Drupal site crashed a few weeks ago.

The site was restored from a backup.

Everything seems to be working just fine with the exception of the upload function.

It appears to work, and messages are successfully posted however attached files are not showing up.

Recommendations?

Thank you for any and all help

Do the appropriate folders (e.g. temp, tmp, files) on the server still have the appropriate permission or owner:group. I could see that easily being botched if you pulled from a back up. The files should be set to 777 (read, write, execute for everyone) which you can check through your ftp program or shell.

Thank you for your reply!

I would have to agree that it is probably a permissions issue, however I am having a heck of a time finding the appropriate folders.

Any hints?

Check the permission setting for sites/folder. To confirm where the files are supposed to be put check the admin > file system. That will also tell you where the temp file folder location is.

Thank you again!

Ok I have found the upload folder, now how do I apply the appropriate permissions?
