    Upload folder is not writable. Export and file upload features will not be functional.

    It’s file permissions:

    Then it’s your web server issue, depending on what kind of account it is running as, ask your host to change it.

    I think you are having issue with PHP execution mode. Maybe incorrect useraccount was set for CGI or FCGId if this is what you are running as.

    If running as mod_php, 777 should have worked.

    initially i was having a server error and change it from FCGid to mod_php. so yeah it should have worked!

    Maybe Virtualmin wasn’t able to change it properly… for some reason. Somestimes it has glitches. You can try to test it by creating a New Virtual Server or Sub Server, so see if it has the same issues.
