Avatars do not upload was created by joecort64
Every time a user tries to upload an avatar an error message comes up saying that the forum was unable to move the file to the .../kunena/avatars/users directory

I have all the folder permissions set to 755 but it still does not work. Any ideas?

I have checked my tmp dir and all permissions appear to be correct. the error message I get when trying to upload an avatar is:

Could not move file into .../public_html/media/kunena/avatars/users/avatar64.JPG

My host server uses suPHP and suhosin PHP security modules. Could this be causing the problem? Is there anything I need to change in my Joomla installation when the server has these modules installed?

I found the problem! All I had to do was change a couple of ftp related items in my configuration.php file. The site was originally setup locally on a test server before being transferred to an Alpine hosting server. Changes were as folows:

var $ftp_host = 'ftp.mysite'; I originally had '127.0.0.1'
var $ftp_port = '21';
var $ftp_user = 'ftpusername';
var $ftp_pass = 'ftppassword';
var $ftp_root = '/public_html'; I originally had 'public_ftp'

Two simple config changes and everything is working as advertised :P
