WordPress MU and file uploads

    Hello,

    We are running our site on WPMU 2.9.2 and BuddyPress 1.2.3. We have a problem with file uploads: we get the "FAILED (Temporary file could not be copied.)" error message. I have searched through the forums, and this error usually seems to be caused by the permissions on the wp-content\uploads\gravity_forms folder.

    For whatever reason, we did not have this folder on our server, so I tried creating it with permissions set to 755, but we still receive the same error message. Then I noticed that all of the files are actually being uploaded to wp-content\blogs.dir\1\files\gravity_forms... Is this a problem with WPMU and Gravity Forms? Is there some way that we could change either where the files are being stored, or let Gravity Forms know this is the location?

    Thanks!

    It could be a PHP Safe Mode issue. This isn't an MU issue, it is file permissions related. The only time this error would appear is if the code can't copy the file. We've run into issues where even when people set the file permissions correctly there was still server configurations preventing the code from being able to copy or write files. Do you have PHP Safe Mode turned on?
