Hello all!

I've been running drupal 6.15 for a few weeks now, using it to learn the system, having had no previous experience of drupal. I have just tried to create an image node by going to "create content" and then selecting "image". I have the Image module installed and the dependent modules Image Attach, Image Gallery, Image Import and Upload Image enabled.

I select an image to upload form my desktop machine using the file browser form widget but when I save the image the following screen alerts me to the following problem in a red box at the top of the screen:

"The selected file [path to my drupal install's document root]/sites/default/files/images/temp/neutral-nav-bottom-200.gif could not be copied."

I get the same error when I try to edit the image and upload a new verison.

I've had a look in that folder and the image has been uploaded there all right. Could it be that I have been a bit too strict with the permissions elsewhere in the filesystem? However, I'm unsure of where it's trying to move them to and when I check the PHP error log there are no permission denied errors.

Also, I am curious about that path. When I go to Site configuration > images the default image import path is sites/default/files/tmp/image , so where is drupal getting the sites/default/files/tmp/image path from? No doubt some newbie error I made during the configuration.

Thanks in advance for any help you can supply, please let me know if I have left out any relevant information.
