Forum upgrade_400a1.php?step=8 - Could not create file system directory to hold your attach
 

On upgrade step upgrade_400a1.php?step=8 some people are getting this error:

Quote:
Could not create file system directory to hold your attachment.

In my experience this error is caused by one of two things:

1) Attachments are being stored in the file system but the storage directory isn't fully writable. You can run this shell command to make it fully writable and fix the problem:

chmod -R 777 path/to/attachments

2) Attachments are being stored in the file system and the storage path is wrong:

Admin CP -> Attachments -> Attachment Storage Type

Fix the path to fix the error. Maybe you forgot to update the path after a server move or something.
