temp attachment directory is not writeable

temp attachment directory is not writeable
I get this error when trying to upload an attachment in my installation of gforum. I've tried setting everything that looks like it might be the temp directory in question to be world writeable, but nothing has worked so far:
admin/attachments
admin/attachments/temp
admin/tmp

So where is this directory really? Or is it something else?

Thanks,

It is going to be the directories inside admin/attachments/temp - there should be 10 directories, 0 through 9, which need to be writeable. The same for admin/attachments/post and admin/attachments/message.

If you have shell access, run this from the admin directory:

Code:


chmod a+rwx attachments/{message,post,temp}/[0-9]
