Unable to complete file upload or to delete files

[torrefuerte]

Hi,

This critical error began happening all of the sudden, since I had no problems with Coppermine for a couple of years that I've been using it.  The problems that I'm having is that everytime I upload a file, the system indicates that it has been successful and then it request the category, description, etc.  Once I input this information and continue to the final step, I receive the following critical error:

Destination directory albums/userpics/10002/ is not writable by the script !

When I try to delete a file, a similar critical error appears:

Directory 'albums/userpics/10002/' is not writable, files can't be deleted

I tried going into the files by FTP, and I see that in the userpics file there is a text file that indicates that no files can be added or written into that file by FTP.

Also, I changed the permissions in the configuration to 0777 and 0666, as indicated by Coppermine, but still I get the same Critical Error messages.

Can anyone help?

Thank you!!
