Upload file issues

Hi there,

A couple of questions regarding file upload.

I have submitted my form successfully to Perch and in the form options have configured my path as:

home/mycompanyname/mysite_uploads/

but am getting the following error message written at the top of the form options area: "The file path home/mycompanyname/mysite_uploads/ is not writable by PHP."

The sidebar advises route to my Perch admin folder as: "/home/mycompanyname/subdomains/mysite.mycompanyname.co.uk/admin" so I believe my folder is in the correct location for uploads (outside of the subdomains folder).

QUESTION 1 - For testing, my accept code is currently set up as - accept="pdf" and I'm testing with a pdf file. I assume I don't need this to be written as applications/pdf?

Though the upload appears to upload, nothing appears in my uploads folder and no error messages as the form comes back with the success message.

QUESTION 2 I found the following link useful, but can't see how to rectify my issue - can anyone assist?
