CMS Made Simple Forums

Hello, I am experiencing the following errors:

Under site admin > System information I am getting errors for the following paths:
previews_path, uploads_path, and image_uploads path. (red x'es)

Under Extensions > Modules getting error: "The modules folder (and/or the uploads folder) is not writable,..."
php safe mode is off and In each case I have tried setting permissions to 777.

Have you tried 755, also check that you don't have a .htaccess file in root that stops it from working...

I have tried 755 for modules directory and each module therein.

I do have a .htaccess file in the root for this site which is /home/accountname/public_html permissions are set to 644 for this .htaccess file.
This is a cPanel managed account which can support multiple domains under same ip.
I believe I need this .htaccess file to make my url rewrites work. Please let me know if there is some specific setting in .htaccess files which may be causing the problem or if it is the presence of a .htaccess file at all which is an issue, and if so what should I use instead?

The other "root", which is the default where no domain is specified at /usr/local/apache/htdocs does not have a .htaccess file.
