I've got the same problem!!!
Could it be caused by safe mode??

Could it be caused by safe mode??

Don't know!! Still waiting for a "guru" to comment :)

This still happens in the Beta release

Permissions for /home/wow-factor/media/users/john/ seem to be wrong.
See http://manual.b2evolution.net/Debugging#Permissions for a script which helps in debugging this.

@blueyed
Well, I got a list of greens

/home/wow-factor/media/:
777 / wow-factor/

* /home/wow-factor/media/blogs/:
755 / wow-factor/
o /home/wow-factor/media/blogs/b/:
755 / wow-factor/
o /home/wow-factor/media/blogs/a/:
755 / wow-factor/
o /home/wow-factor/media/blogs/links/:
755 / wow-factor/
o /home/wow-factor/media/blogs/all/:
755 / wow-factor/
* /home/wow-factor/media/users/:
755 / wow-factor/
o /home/wow-factor/media/users/john/:
775 / wow-factor/
+ /home/wow-factor/media/users/john/.evocache/:
755 / wow-factor/
# /home/wow-factor/media/users/john/.evocache/icon_factory4.jpg/:
755 / wow-factor/
# /home/wow-factor/media/users/john/.evocache/virgin_mobile.jpg/:

etc etc

Does Google_news.jpg already exist?
Can you send me the link to the debug script?

Pm'ed you the link blueyed

No, the Google_news.jpg is the only one with that name

The directory "john" is 775 and owned by "wow-factor". It has no group?! (or the script fails here)

However, the script runs as "apache" and therefor has only read access. You may want to "chgrp" the directories and files to "apache" and then use 775/664 for all of them.

Of course, 777/666 would also work, because "apache" currently is the same as "rest of the world".

Thank, I'll give that a spin and report back

Cheers

Ok, john at 777 now allows me to upload instead of FTP'ing
However in File Managment / browse all images uploaded or FTP'd
still show as black thumbnails with the red "Ewr - access" across them ?

"Ewr" means "Error while writing" AFAIK.
You may want to open up the .evocache folders also for all users on your server (chmod 777).. :|

BINGO!!!
Thanks mate, I can now upload and I can now see the thumbnails.

Again, your help is appreciated :)

have the same problem but chmod ing 777 didnt work

Duplicated problem in v2.2.0 with media and blogs and this_blog set to 777. I can upload via FTP and access via the back office, but I can not upload via the files tab. Mine is an upgraded installation, and I have not tested this on a new installation.

I notice a double / in the first warning, and wonder if it is important.

How I got round this :

1) renamed all my current /media/blogs/folder/ to folder_bak
2) opened up/media and /media/blogs to 777
3) hit filemanager, get loads of green shit about folders being created
4) locked down /media and /media/blogs ( to 755 or summat )
5) copied all files from folder_bak to folder ( if any folders have sub folders, create them through FM and copy their files across as well )

end result is that apache is the folder owner and the fileman works without world access

Is this possible through FTP?

In 2.4.0 I was getting a ".evocache folder read/write error" message and thought this might help.

EDIT: Never mind, I think I've got it sorted, although I'm not entirely sure how.

I have this same problem, ill tryout what you guys said.
