Avatar troubles.

[Carlos]

I installed a new xenforo instance. I imported an old vb3.8 database, and it went smoothly.

Except that when I upload an avatar, this is what I get:


mkdir() [function.mkdir]: Permission denied

1. XenForo_Application::handlePhpError()
2. mkdir() in XenForo/Helper/File.php at line 66
3. XenForo_Helper_File::createDirectory() in XenForo/Model/Avatar.php at line 326
4. XenForo_Model_Avatar->_writeAvatar() in XenForo/Model/Avatar.php at line 197
5. XenForo_Model_Avatar->applyAvatar() in XenForo/Model/Avatar.php at line 69
6. XenForo_Model_Avatar->uploadAvatar() in XenForo/ControllerPublic/Account.php at line 487
7. XenForo_ControllerPublic_Account->actionAvatarUpload() in XenForo/FrontController.php at line 310

Wierd. Never had this problem with MW2Forums.

Is your /data directory writeable?
You might need to chmod /data and /internal_data to 0777.

I made the changes. During installation I had thought it was a security threat to keep them writable. But I forget that it doesn't.

Yes, the /data and /internal_data are where avatars and attachments are stored so they need to be writeable by the web server.
