Image Upload Error - Totally Stumped!

[PixelMix]

I am trying out pixelpost on a domain name I own before I buy another domain.


My uploading a test image, I get the following error;

Warning: move_uploaded_file(../images/trialimage.jpg) [function.move-uploaded-file]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in D:\webs\blocksoft.net\html\pixelmix\admin\new_imag e.php on line 185

Warning: move_uploaded_file() [function.move-uploaded-file]: Unable to move 'D:\PHP\uploadtemp\php480C.tmp' to '../images/trialimage.jpg' in D:\webs\blocksoft.net\html\pixelmix\admin\new_imag e.php on line 185
Error
Something's wrong in file upload!

I thought this was maybe a permissions problem (I can't seem to alter permissions through my FTP client, as my host won't allow it), but PixelPost's 'General Info' tab explicitly says the image and thumbnail folders are ok, and can be written to - the permissions number is 0777. Any suggestions?!

Thanks

Despite the wonderful message the folder might not be writeable at all.

I think it says exactly what the problem is:

"failed to open stream: Permission denied"

Talk to you host, make sure the images & thumbnail folders are writable by everyone.

[PixelMix]

Thanks. My provider is changing the permissions on a folder for me just now, so hopefully that will sort it. Strange how pixelpost thinks it is 0777, but still can't post.

[jaywilliams]

0777 is a UNIX file permission flag.
Windows doesn't support that at all.

So it's not unlikely that that it would guess wrong.

[PixelMix]

Thanks for all of the replies. My provider's admin changed the two folders for me really quickly, so I can start building my site now. Think I'll go with linux then when I get a domain specifically for my blog.

Incidentally, my hosting company is easyspace - I highly recommend them to anyone in the UK after this, as they acted very quickly, and sent me lots of really useful information.

Ok, glad to see this issue resolved.
