Can't upload pictures through the "upload picture"

[Werner]

everytime I want to upload a picture by using the "upload picture" link I receive following notification:

(https://coppermine-gallery.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fmitglied.lycos.de%2Fspace_place%2Fimages%2Fcopper.gif&hash=08afbb12ce733343c81421b003a1b613fa8325f0)

Please help!

Try adding a /tmp directory to you website root (i.e. mysite.com/tmp).

If that doesn't work, you'll have to call the administrator and ask him where you are supposed to upload files to since he has blocked the system tmp file with a directory restriction.

@hyperion
Thanks for your help, but unfortunately it doesn't help me with my problem. I can't upload pictures with the "picture upload" and "xp_publish" function.

Help!!

Permission problem: do you run your own webserver?
Maybe you're in safe mode? Try switching silly_safe_mode on.

I've found out how I can upload pictures without silly_safe_mode.

You should create a "tmp" folder on your root with 777 and it will be working
