Hi there,

I installed the IMCE module successfully but then I went to:

create content >> story >> clicked the image button on the tinyMCE tool bar >> clicked the browse button on the pop-up window >> browsed the image on my local directory and hit the upload file button.

I got this message:

* warning: copy(): SAFE MODE Restriction in effect. The script whose uid is 32055 is not allowed to access /home/.../public_html/files/1 owned by uid 99 in /home/.../public_html/modules/imce/imce.module on line 186.
* warning: copy(files/1/MyPicture_copy.jpg): failed to open stream: Success in /home/.../public_html/modules/imce/imce.module on line 186.
* Error copying the file.

I guess, this is a problem with permissions on the server.

It seems that the IMCE module doesn't have enough rights to write inside the folder that was created to store the image.

How can I fix this?

Thanks.

did you create any of the directories manually? by ftp or something else.
at first, try changing the prefix for personal folders(admin/settings/imce). if it doesnt work, please let me know.

I have the same problem. I did not create anything manually, what I can see on the server is that the directory u1 created by IMCE has as owner "apache". The rights are 775 (Owner-Read/Write/Execute, Group - Read/Write/Execute, Public - Read/Execute).
