This is probably your problem. For a directory to be considered a directory, it MUST have execute permissions. Common configurations are 775 or -drwxrwxr--, depending on how your control panel visualizes it.
the directory has permissions 755, owned by the www server user; isn't it enough? Also: must it be in the drupal installation root or in (for virtual hosting) drupalroot/sites/virtualdomain_1/files ??
D.
The files directory should be under where Drupal is installed. Vis, at the same level as the sites, database, modules, and themes directories.
(I think you're supposed to be able to get it to work inside a site/something/ directory, but I've never actually gotten it to work. <g>)

"If nature has made any one thing less susceptible than all others of exclusive property, it is the action of the thinking power called an idea, which an individual may exclusively possess as long as he keeps it to himself; but the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into the possession of every one, and the receiver cannot dispossess himself of it." -- Thomas Jefferson -- [ Drupal support list | http://lists.drupal.org/ ]
You also have to give ownership to apache so: chown -R apache.apache /var/www/html/drupal/ chmod -R 755 /var/www/html/drupal/sites/www.virtualdomain.com/files
