It is owned by me, so I then began to wonder if it's one of these 'Safe Mode'
packages that prevent certain operations from being invoked by PHP.
Typically, directories cannot be created, among other operations.
I have just tried creating dummy directories and deleting them from PHPShell
without success. The path is 755 at all levels, so I suspect I might need to
777 everything, at least temporarily.
Many thanks,
Roy
