[Folders ownership issue?] Image upload / thumb creation err

There is something wrong with your joomla installation,
permission are correct but you cannot scripts cannot write in some folders

You can use FileZilla to FTP to your site then check the column far right to see what the ownership of your files and folders is, they should all be the same. If they are not ask your host to correct the ownership on your files.

ALSO you should update to latest version, as it contains various other bugfixes

OK, I did fix the problem but uncovered 2 more issues.

1 - I updated to v1.5.6 RC8 r1465
2 - I checked, double and triple checked permissions - that was NOT this issue.
3 - I did notice in the error message something about "above docroot"
4 - I changed line 142 in file phpthumb.class.php

to

That immediately fixed the problem.

I've uncovered 2 more bugs though:

1 - when an image is deleted from an item for which thumbnails are created, the "backed" or "b_image.jpg" image is not deleted from the thumb folder. All other thumbs are deleted though "s_, m_, l_"

2 - mod_flexicontent
in - Display parameters for ITEMs
Image parameters -> Image Source
When I select my image field to display, an error is thrown up on the front end.
See example here: 97.65.137.200/~henderso/

Any help fixing he mod image parameter error would be great! Thank for your responsiveness through this point!!!
