Media directory "xyz" could not be created

Media directory "xyz" could not be created, because the parent directory is not writable or does not exist.

b2evolution (actually PHP) has no permission to create the directory needed for storing the media files belonging to a certain collection or user. Make sure all sub-directories of the /media folder are writable by PHP.

For more information, see: Directory creation error.
