Permission is the key word. Check your error logs, and you should find which directory it's trying to use. That directory either doesn't exist or has the wrong permissions. If the configuration specified a path on the old server that doesn't exist on the new server - or doesn't have the correct permissions - that would explain it.

Also, if you are comfortable changing / editing PHP scripts, we can give you access to the 2.6 version of nukeWYSIWYG, which changes the path for uploads (though you could configure it to use the old path) and might be easier to work with.

it says this in log file

FastCGI: server "/var/www/xxxx/php-cgi" stderr: PHP Warning: move_uploaded_file() [<a href='function.move-uploaded-file'>function.move-uploaded-file</a>]: Unable to move '/tmp/phpZcAImE' to '/home/xxxxx/h/yyyy/user/htdocs/includes/FCKeditor/upload/Image/fish.jpg' in /home/xxxx/h/yyyy/user/htdocs/includes/FCKeditor/editor/filemanager/browser/default/connectors/php/commands.php on line 193

OK - so does includes/FCKeditor/upload/Image exist? If so, what are the permissions on that folder?

Also, I removed the key root path info from your post since that could be used by malicious people...

Then you should talk to your host about that if you cannot change them another way (e.g. using the file manager in your control panel).

But it might be that they are running PHP as CGI using some form of *SuExec. In this case, 755 would work just fine.

broose, regardless, checking with the host is the way to go, but definitely find out whether my statement above is true and ask them what is the owner of that directory (or maybe you can find out via your control panel or ftp client somehow).

i will ak them later as i am already waiting to hear from them about something else, well several other things actually.

word of advice "never use streamline.net"

not sure what you mean by "owner of that directory"
