PHP permissions error for uploading images

[flydigital]

I had a CMS system successfully up and running but is now giving an error: ‘The path does not exists or its permissions are not set’
This occurs when an image is uploaded via CMS. The image can be selected and successfully uploaded into the CMS control panel. (the file is loaded to a temp folder on the server).
When I click submit to make my content go live I get the error. Somehow it is unable to transfer/copy the image to another folder.
I kept an earlier back up of the working system which also gives an error. my guess is that the site has remained unchanged but some permissions or config file is required - maybe deleted or the host has changed some settings.

Any clues on how to fix this? Thanks!

check the permissions of the directory files are being moved to. Change them to 777 to be sure.

Thanks. I changed permissions of the IMG folder where the images go to but it still gives the same error. The temp folder to which the images are succesfully uploading to first has 775 permission and is working fine.

some work with 777 and some work with 755 as writable try both.

Show us the full error message may help also.

777 and 775 are different settings. 777 allows full permissions to anyone. 775 limits permisisons to public.
