Well that is most unusual. Your host seems right: you should not need to do 777 given that you have suphp there. Do you get the error when you set your /media/ and /media/blogs/ and /media/users/ folder to 755?

By the way you really need to get rid of your /install/ folder. Actually you don't, but you should get rid of all the files in it except for phpinfo.php because the rest did your installation for you. Your "Tools -> system" subtab is probably all red about that folder existing and won't be happy until it is deleted, but that is only because no one wants to code checking that the files that shouldn't be left there are gone.

Speaking of your "Tools -> system" subtab, what does it say for "PHP running as USER" and the next line down? It should be something like account (number) for each - suphp does that is the thing.

yes. I removed the install folder and checked for the php running as user.
It shows my account name (number) difference in group and user is 'uid' 'gid' in front of the number.

There is red unhappy person below saying
post_max_size should be larger than upload_max_filesize

they both are 64m.

Edit: I found the php.ini and changed it to not give any error. url_fopen register_globals all disabled as well.

Edit: I'm using multi-domain and multi-sub domains if that is of any relevance.

any help?

oops. sorta lost track of this one. sorry bout that.

Here is something to try that has no smart explanation other than "shotgun a weird bug": download a new copy of the version you are using, unzip it on your computer, delete from your server the /inc/ and /skins_adm/ folders, then upload those two folders that you just unzipped. The idea is *if* there is a corrupted file then (a) it'll be almost impossible to find the bad one and (b) it'll be almost impossible to tell exactly where in the process of getting those files to your server the corruption happened. So completely replacing (with new files) those two folders sometimes cures stuff that just doesn't make sense.

Another thing to try if that doesn't help is to install something else that has a file upload capability and see if you can upload through it. Wordpress for example. Easily done if your host has fantastico eh? The idea there is to see if it is your server (won't upload on multiple programs) or your b2evolution (works with something else).

Good luck!

Installed another b2 evo from fantastico and it works. I'll be updating the files to if there is any corrupted file.
thank you :)
