Spent another hour plus on this. No joy.

This is the location that won't allow WRITES:
/var/www/vhosts/vcca.org/httpdocs/forum/admin/chat/avatars
Directory exists but is not writeable (WHY NOT?)
--Permissions: 777

Full URL
http://vcca.org/forum/admin/chat/avatars

Yes... I have been using Chrome.

STEPS TAKEN TO RESOLVE THIS:
1) GROUP PERMISSIONS are all set to ALLOW Avatar Uploads
2) IE also returned "Not Writeable" result
3) Netscape also returned "Not Writeable"
4) Full path vs. virtual path - Is okay (I think)
5) For Reference: The Attachment DIrectory "Is Writeable"
/var/www/vhosts/vcca.org/httpdocs/attachments/chat
TEST IT:
http://vcca.org/forum/admin/testdir...hosts/vcca.org/httpdocs/attachments/chat

6) YOU CAN TEST THE AVATAR Directory TOO:
http://vcca.org/forum/admin/testdir...ca.org/httpdocs/forum/admin/chat/avatars

Both of them are set to 777.

I think that I'll continue to play with all permissions. But I'd sure appreciate any other ideas. Thanks.
