Hi.

I have exactly the same error and I am installing an clean version on a subdomain for WP 3.0.1 and Install Buddypress 1.2.5.2. What i can see is that the uploads, avatars, signup etc, directories get the apache owner and not the owner that the site is created with – so i tried to change the ownership on the directories but still same Error Upload Failed! Error was: Unable to create directory /avatars/ etc. Is its parent directory writable by the server?.

Please help :-)

Best Regards
Sandholdt
