Whenever I try to set up a folder for the uploads (at Default image path:) I get the following error:

    * The directory does not exist.
    * The settings have not been saved because of the errors.

The "files" directory is writable (777) and so is my subdirectory (img). I am not including any backslash.

PHP Version: 5.2.4

P.S. Must I always have a subdirectory in the "files" folder? Is there a way to upload files on a different subdomain like: img..com ?

Thanks in advance.

The folder "import" has to be created at this path "/sites/default/files/images".This should work then

I have the same problem but I don't see how it relates to the folder" import".
It was working fine on D5 but not on D6.

I had the same problem when trying to move my default files location.
This is related to the normal need to change domain names or file locations.

I am having the same issue. I have created the images folder, site/all/default/files/images/images. I do not know what is wrong.

Sorry, I should have said that I am using 6.3.

@stdunn12, by default the files directory is sites/default/files, have you purposefully changed it to sites/all/default/files? If not make sure sites/default/files is 777, that it has a subdirecory images also with 777 permissions, and if you want to use image_import that the images directory has a subdirectory import that is 777.

All my problems with this Module were solved creating these folders by myself. I also gave "..\default\files" and all it's subfolders and files a 777 permissions:

\default\files\tmp
\default\files\images
\default\files\images\temp

I too have experienced these issues on migrating a site and upgrading. However I found that by checking the "file system" module to ensure that both the normal file location and the temp directory are valid (and have write permission), and that the image module does not report a problem, and that Cron can run without reporting a problem, solved this. It's easy to miss one of these! (just to help anyone else who is running into the issue!)

Thanks
