File manager permission error

Permalink
I get this error message when trying to upload images:

"Unable to copy file to storage directory. Please check permissions on your upload directory and ensure they can be written to by your web server."

I have gone to the permissions & access panel in the dashboard and checked admin has permission and also chmod the directories on the server to 777.

What more can I do please?

Perhaps it's the same kind of issue as described here:

Maybe you've changed the permissions for the /files directory, but not recursively through the sub-directories.

Once you do work it out, note that 777 is often considered a too relaxed a file permission on a shared server. Perhaps try 755 instead.
