did that and still no joy........Blake

are attachments actually uploaded in that directory you specified?

no......Blake

that is what I need to know, how do I get them to upload to that directory.......Blake

anbody?.......Blake

Once you enter the path info there should be a TEST button. That should say it was successful - then use FTP to verify that a file was placed there. If it errors then something still wrong like either path or permissions.

the test shows that everything is working, I don't know anything about using FTP to verify, but if that means going to my server after I attach something and seeing if it is there, I have tried that and nothing is showing up there......Blake

Well having tried all of the suggestions already and it's still not working, unless someone else comes up with another possible solution I would recommend that you open a ticket with support so that they can log onto your site and check things out to see what's going on.

So, have you not accessed the server to set permissions for that directory to 777?

If the test shows ok, and you've looked and it's not in the attachments directory after uploading, also check the /tmp directory. That is the temporary hold spot for attachments. See if it's there, and make sure the perms on that folder are set to 777 as well.
