In the diagnostics sections in textpattern, it's giving me the error:
"File directory path is not writable:...html/textpattern/files" (took out beginning of path)
I changed the permissions for the textpattern folder, and the folder named "files", which is in the root folder not in the textpattern folder, but it's still giving the error. Do I need to change permissions for all enclosed items of the textattern folder and not just the folder itself?
Maybe I got you wrong but I suppose you simply have to change the path to the files folder in your admin panel from "…html/textpattern/files" to "…/html/files".
