vB issue with uploading custom avatars -- directory permissions?

vBulletin 3.7.2 PL1

Since moving my forum back to a host I am having problems with avatar file uploads. Users cannot upload avatars successfully, however they can upload Profile Pictures perfectly fine.

Here is the error:


Here are the permissions on the "customavatars" directory


Here are the permissions on the "customprofilepics" directory... Users can write to this directly fine by uploading pictures for their profile.


I have tired to change the customavatar directory to something else by creating a new directory and going into the AdminCP and changing the path to the new directory with full write/read permissions... However, I get this error, and it doesn't allow me to change it.


I even tried changing the customavatars directory to the customprofilepics directory and I got the same error as before.


What am I missing? Do you think it's something within the vB configuration? As you can see, I can CHmod the directories "successfully"... I just don't know.

If your host is running su_php, then you might need to chmod these files to 755 or 0755. Ask your host why it's not working, they should be able to support you

Apparently it was pointing to the wrong home directory. When I was with my old host, they physically changed the path and manually entered in a path. All I needed to do to fix it was to set the path relative to the forum root with a ./ You don't need to put in an actual path... I don't know why the old host did... Alas, it works now.
