Why is Captcha temporary directory missing or unwritable?

    Hello everybody,

    I’ve been trying to setup Really Simple Captcha on my WP installation for some time now, without success.
    Contact Form 7 keeps telling me that the temporary Captcha folder is either not existing or not writable.
    My WP uploads folder is different from default and has the name “uploads1”.
    That’s why I added

    define('WPCF7_CAPTCHA_TMP_DIR', 'wp-content/uploads1/wpcf7_captcha');

    after a group of other define tags in the wp-config.php file. My WP installation is located in the root (html) folder of my ftp host.
    I tried to manually create the wpcf7_captcha folder within the uploads1 folder. Both folders are chmoded 777. phpinfo says that GD and FreeType are enabled.

    I don’t know what the problem could be. Any suggestions?
    Thanks in advance!
