/var/www/vhosts/yoursite/httpdocs/...... example file path..make sure you have the correct full path to your attachment's directory and make sure your attachments directory is set at chmod 777 or 755 on some servers.

Not everyone has htdocs it depends, usually I see htdocs on parallels plesk installations and public_html with whm/cpanel setups.

Unfortunately I still can't find the right path, the attachment manager of phpbb is very poor, and it says that attachments are found through the path /files , but when I enter that path on Impex it doesn't work... That folder is set at 777, like you said.
I found through phpMyadmin that there is a tab named phpbb_attachments, can it be useful?

thanks!!!

Try:
AdminCP > Maintenance > View PHP Info > *Scroll to find (or use "find" in browser options) the text "_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"]" and that will have something similar to: /home/accountname/public_html

So with that being said if the mod file was in lets say for example you use your forum in a folder such as forum it would be: /home/accountname/public_html/forum/filename.php so in the settings you would key in for full path /home/accountname/public_html/forum/

See what your DOCUMENT_ROOT is .
