I've been trying to get an answer over on .com but nothing seems to work yet.

I'm running PHP5, MySQL5, VB3.7b3 on IIS6

here is the album pictures location setup screen. it seems no matter what I put in here I get the error: We attempted to write a test file to /mywebsite.com/community/useralbums, but we were unsuccessful. Please verify that the web server has write/delete permissions for this path.

I think I'm just not getting the syntax of the path right, becasue I've checked and double checked permissions on the useralbums directory, they are the exact same as the "community" directory (which is normally called forums, I changed it on my installation).

Are you inputing the full path to the dir including the drive letter D:\ etc?

I have tried that, it gets the same error message.

Did you set the permissions correctly on the folder?

as far as I know are they not the same permission as the "forums" folder?

public_html or forums would only be 0755, as the program states, the new attachemnt folder needs to be 0777

yes but I'm running IIS on a windows server, so those numbers mean nothing to me.

You need to set the folder permissions to Read, Execute & Write

well i've been looking through error logs but haven't seen anything pertaining to access restriction to that specific folder.
