I can upload individual images one at a time with the image module with no problem, but when I attempt to upload with image_import, I get the following error message:
# File copy failed: no directory configured, or it could not be accessed.
# File copy failed for image_import/Zed/beth_patterson_and_kitten-1.jpg to
(And yes, it just cuts off there after "to" -- this appears to be because $tmp_path is never defined before it is used in the debugging message in image_import_do_node -- but since it's not even used in the file_copy call, I don't know if that's relevant.)
If I turn on debugging, I get the following additional information:
# DEBUG: System image directory is 'drupalfiles/drupalfiles/images'.
# DEBUG: Invoking file_copy('image_import/Zed/beth_patterson_and_kitten-1.jpg', 'drupalfiles/drupalfiles/images', FILE_EXISTS_RENAME)
(The system image directory is wrong here; it should be 'drupalfiles/images', but that doesn't seem to be the issue.)
The version of image_import.module is 1.15.2.1 2005/11/20. The version of image.module I am using is 1.146.2.14 2006/02/23. I'm using PostgreSQL. The content of "file_directory_path" in the variables table is s:11:"drupalfiles";. The content of "image_default_path" is s:18:"drupalfiles/images";. The content of "file_downloads" is s:1:"2";
I've noticed that the default values of the checkmarks set in the main settings page are not showing up correctly by default on the user's interface as well, but I don't know if that's related at all. Making changes to the checkboxes on the main settings page works just fine.
