I’ve just found a way to get around the problem, albeit in a very clunky manual fashion.
I was having problems with uploading images, the error message kept saying that I needed to check to see if I had write permission to the upload directory, which I did, so I was a bit miffed to find out that actually its all down to the system running in SAFE mode.
My FTP client wasn’t working as I would expect it to, so I resorted to doing it from the command line.
Basically remove eveything under uploads. (each time you try to upload an image it seems to create corrupted ‘year’ and ‘month’ folders without the correct permissions.)
chmod uploads to 777
create a directory in uploads called 2006
chmod this to 777
create directories in this called 01, 02, 03, 04, 05
chmod these to 777
Hey Presto it all seemed to work.
I’m not sure its safe to chmod everything in sight to 777, but it wouldn’t work with anything else.
