I'm still having some trouble configuring drutex. It continues to report that the image directory (files/tex) isn't writable by user apache, even though I've set permissions as 777 for that directory. (the file sdirectory has the same permissions as well).

Additionally, I checked the httpd.conf file, and the apache user (www) is set as the owner of the directory.

Is there a way to fix this?

The same problem here. Any body know haw to solve this? Please share. I tried this solution: http://drupal.org/node/730940#comment-3475686 but it did not work because I am not sure if the way I implemented it was correct. Can somebody give a more clear instruction? Thank you.

Can you confirm, that all the necessary directories have w permission for apache/www-data? For example: If your installation is in /var/www/drupalDir/. And if your image should be stored in /var/www/drupalDir/sites/default/files/tex (which does not necessarily have to be the case):

Then: The directories: sites, default, files and tex must all (!) be writable, I guess. Browse to: Administer - Site configuration - Input formats. Then configure your drutex-Input-format - and again (!) choose "Configure" at the top. Then change your image directory, hit save and see how it works.

Repeat the last step with a directory of which you are sure, that it is writeable, until it works.
