I just completed the installation of a brand new DotNetNuke Professional 5.05.  So far so good, but I'm confused about the uploading of user photos.

It seems that if I am loged in as the superuser, I can upload photos to the user profiles, but when I'm logged in as a regular registered user, I can not upload my own photo.  The error message I receive is:

You Do Not Have Sufficient Permission To Write To Folder Users/003/03/3/. Please Contact Your Hosting Provider To Ensure The Appropriate Security Settings Have Been Enabled On The Server.

The NETWORK SERVICE account has full control of the installation directory as instructed in the installation documentation, and since I am able to upload files when logged in as superuser I doubt it's a filesystem permissions issue.

I've dug around for documentation and haven't found much about individual user rights, and searched this forum only to find suggestions that I've already tried like ensuring NETWORK SERVICE has full control.

What do I need to do to grant all registered users, current and future, the necessary rights to give them the ability to upload their profile pictures?

Thanks!

go to FileManager in Admin menu and grant write permission to all users for the /users folder and all sub folders. It should get inherited for new folders created

OK, well incredibly it's still not working. I've: edited the security settings on the server directly; added Everyone and IIS users accounts and given them Full permissions (which I don't think is very secure! ). And yet still... * I can't upload a picture * in the DNN site, File Manager; the Users folder is not visible Got me beat! :( Cheers, Duncan.
