Uhg... your host doesn't support mkdir... I hate that crap..

What you'll have to do is manually create a directory called "files" in your drupal root folder (e.g. in the same directory as index.php). Also be sure to create a directory within files called "temp". All of the filesdirectories should be given the file permissions 755 (read and execute access for everyone and also write access for the owner of the file.).

However, I fear your host might not give you chmod as an option....

and it worked. i made a directory and set permission manually.

i will check how the mkdir thing works.

Thanks for your help.
