I have a new install and tried to create a new folder using the folders create button in 'Files and Images' tab.

I get the error "Error adding folder".

In fact a folder is created called 'NewFolder', or 'NewFolder2', but this shows in FTP, not the CMS.

I have the assets and Uploads folders set to 777. The NewFolder appears to be 755.

I suspect my host needs 777 and the default permissions set by SS CMS are 755.

Any ideas how to fix?

NB - I can upload files OK to the Uploads folder.

I am using SilverStripe version 2.3.2 in under PHP 5.2 on 1and1 Internet hosting. Browser is Firefox 3.5.1.

Try setting this in your mysite/_config.php file and see if you get emailed a detailed error:

Debug::send_errors_to('my@email.com');
