Just to make extra sure that all is in place:

- the physical directory is NOT created on the server
- Your assets/ (assets/Uploads) directory has sufficient rights
- user/group in the assets/ directory includes the webserver!
- safe_mode is off
- open_basedir is none, or at least includes the path
- You've checked you phpinfo for safe-mode/open_basedir, just in case

That's all I can think of for now - I don't use plesk and I can't reproduce. Maybe someone else on this forum? Let me know if you find out...

Ok, it's now working :)

phpinfo() showed me, that the site was still runnnig with safe mode = on although I did switched this off in the conf file.
And it looks like the checkbox "running with safe mode" in plesk doesn't change anything at all :(

So I changed the value in the php.ini file (although this is not recommended by plesk) and now everthing runs as expected.

Thanks very much for your patience.

You'd need to restart the server after editing conf files.
