Hello all,

I developed my site locally using the Acquia Drupal stack and have successfully moved my site over to my web host. The site is offline and I can log in using my "super user" and "admin" account, view all content, add content, run update.php, etc. - except that I can't upload photos because of the ownership/permissions. The error that I get from the status report and watchdog is that the sites/default/files directory isn't writable by the webserver. When I call my hosting company and ask them to change the ownership (nobody,www) of the sites/default/files directory with permissions 755, I get the white screen of death. I have cache enabled and theme registry is not being rebuilt.

Any info or help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Michael

I was able to avoid the White Screen of Death by not optimizing the CSS and Javascript in the admin>site configuration>performance. I created a subtheme of zen and have read that for subthemes these settings should not be checked. However, they work with other web sites that I have built creating a subtheme of zen.

Does this have anything to do with the server that it's on?
