Hi,
I'm trying to install OMP, but it keeps giving this error:
"The directory specified for uploaded files does not exist or is not writable."
I created the directory in FileZilla FTP program and I changed its writable status. I don't know if I'm not using the path model required.
Thanks,
Daniel Ribas

Hi Daniel,
You probably need to keep tinkering with file permissions; if you're using a UNIX-based server, there will be more to it than just a single writable flag. What path have you given OMP to try to use? You can either use paths relative to the OMP install, or absolute paths; absolute paths will probably be less error-prone.

Hi Alec,
I'm using a FTP program (Transmit or Filezilla) and I've mark all user permissions (code 777).
I don't know if I'm using a wrong path...
I tried many, but now I'm using http://aim.org.pt/files/. I've used many different paths, but all give the same error...
Any help?

Hi Daniel,
What are you specifying in the path field on the installation form?

Hi,
I tried several possibilities:
http://aim.org.pt/files/
www.aim.org.pt/files/
aim.org.pt/files/
Do you have a model for the path?

Hi dribas,
None of those are paths. You need to specify a path on your filesystem -- something like /home/[your username]/files -- and that path will already need to be created with the right file permissions. If you're not sure what's appropriate, you'll have to ask your server administrator.
