but i have properly chmod the avatars and tmp directory of vb to 777 and others which are needed. if i try to url upload of avatar it is saying "Upload failed due to failure writing temporary file." including the following error message at the top

"Warning: tempnam() [function.tempnam]: open_basedir restriction in effect. File() is not within the allowed path(s): (/home/pirate/:/tmp:/var/tmp:/usr/local/lib/php/) in [path]/includes/class_upload.php on line 276

You have open_basedir restrictions on your server. To get uploads to work you need to create a 'tmp' subdirectory under home directory and chmod it to 777. Then in the Admin CP set "Upload In Safe Mode?" to 'Yes' and point the "Safe Mode Temp Directory" to that directory. If you placed the tmp directory in the right place, the path to the Safe Mode Temp Directory will be:

/home/tmp

Admin CP -> vBulletin Options -> Server Settings and Optimization Options -> Safe Mode Temporary Directory

Admin CP -> vBulletin Options -> Server Settings and Optimization Options -> Safe Mode Upload Enabled -> Yes

Also the php.ini setting for 'upload_tmp_dir' may be empty. It's possible you (as root) or your host will need to edit php.ini and set 'upload_tmp_dir' to point to the full path to a directory on the server that is chmod'd to 1777. You will also need to restart Apache after making this change.
