Sorry to vent, but I continue to have problems with what I consider to be straight-forward issues.

So I decide to move my attachments from my DB to a file on the server. I create a folder on the server and CHMOD it to 777. Next I enter what I think is the proper path to the file. My URL is www.bonsainut.com. The folder is located at www.bonsainut.com/forums/attachments. It is pretty straightforward. Yet no matter what I do I cannot get past the next step. The Attachment Manager keeps saying "We attempted to write a test file to /forums/attachments, but we were unsuccessful. Please verify that the web server has write/delete permissions for this path."

I don't know whether I am writing the path incorrectly, or whether there is something wrong with the CMOD(?) Any help?

EDIT I realize now that you need to enter the FULL PATH to your attachments directory. All fixed now...
