Problem with filefield module after migrating drupal site to a new server: cant upload files
- by oalo
We have a content type with two imagefield / filefield fields, and after migrating our site to a new server, we have the following problem:
When we submit a new item for this content type, with two images for those fields, drupal gives us the following error and does not upload the images:
warning:
fopen(sites/default/files/.htaccess)
[function.fopen]: failed to open
stream: Permission denied in
/websites/sitename/data/sites/all/modules/filefield/field_file.inc
on line 349. warning:

on line 349. An image thumbnail was

I understand this is a permissions error, but it is not clear to me where do I have to change permissions.
Line 349 of file.inc has the following code:
if (($fp =
fopen("$directory/.htaccess", 'w')) &&
fputs($fp, $htaccess_lines)) {
fclose($fp);
chmod($directory .'/.htaccess', 0664);
}
else {
$repl = array('%directory' = $directory, '!htaccess' =
nl2br(check_plain($htaccess_lines)));
form_set_error($form_item, t("Security warning: Couldn't write
.htaccess file. Please create a
.htaccess file in your %directory
directory which contains the following
lines:!htaccess",
$repl));
