Cannot upload user imageson on a vagrant VM [#2623256]

2.50 (But also had the issue in 2.45) loaded on a vagrant VM.

Trying to upload images. Images meet size and space requirements (and are considerably under them e.g. <100k)

1. When trying to upload a user picture, I simply get "File cannot be uploaded" with no other warning text.

2. When trying to upload a banner image either to the site or on a document page, I get a variation of

Notice: Undefined index: #field_name in file_managed_file_save_upload() (line 661 of /var/www/public/atrium/modules/file/file.module).
The file could not be uploaded.

3. When I try to upload an image on a document page or space, whether as an image, within the body or as an attachment, it works without a problem.

One more odd piece of info. When referring to #2 Banners, I can select and use an image from the "My Files" tab that I uploaded into the body of another section.

Sounds like a permission problem on your site trying to save the image to your /site/default/files folder. Go to your Status Report page in Drupal and make sure there are not any error messages.

Cannot reproduce this on Pantheon or our test servers, so it's something specific to your environment.

Thanks Mike.

I checked and the only error was the following:

CTools CSS Cache Unable to create
The CTools CSS cache directory, ctools/css could not be created due to a misconfigured files directory. Please ensure that the files directory is correctly configured and that the webserver has permission to create directories.

So it looks like that is the issue. So I'm thinking I should probably look at the directory those images would be uploaded to see if they're writable. What is the path to where these types of images would be stored?
