hello...
Im new to this so i may seem very stupid...

I have installed b2evolution and up to now its been really eay and Im lookingforward to making it work how Id like to but I have come across a problem that I dont no how to fix....

Ive tryed uplading an imge when I post but it dident work so I stared reading all the bits on the file mager so Im assuming this is where the probelm is. when I go to the file tab I get this ...

The blog's media directory «media/blogs/a/» could not be created, because the parent directory is not writable or does not exist.
The blog's media directory «media/blogs/b/» could not be created, because the parent directory is not writable or does not exist.
The blog's media directory «media/blogs/links/» could not be created, because the parent directory is not writable or does not exist.
You don't have access to any root directory.

You'll need to change the permissions of the media folder. How you do that varies with how you work with your web space. If you're using an ftp client you generally will right click on the media folder and choose something like "Edit permissions" or "Chmod". Then make sure that all users can write to the directory. If you're still having trouble, check with your ftp client's documentation.

Nope. Find /blog/media/ and set the folder (not a specific file) to 777 although 755 is supposed to be good enough. I set mine to 777 because it's the only way I can upload stuff.

Oh and I also had to CHMOD my /media/blogs/ folder, so I have both /media/ and /media/blogs/ CHMOD'd to 777. Again it's the folder and not an individual file.

You really don't want to have your conf/_config.php and conf/_advaned.php to be 777 :|
