 * Iam trying to upload a photo using the user photo wordpress plugin, but for some
   reason its not working.When i try to upload a photo, i get this following error
   message :
 * **Upload error: The userphoto upload content directory does not exist and could
   not be created. Please ensure that you have write permissions for the ‘/userphoto’
   directory. Did you put slash at the beginning of the upload path in Misc. settings?
   It should be a path relative to the WordPress root directory. wp_upload_dir()
   returned:
    Array ( [path] => /home/vol6/hostwq.net/hq_2061100/htdocs/data/wp-
   content/uploads/2008/11 [url] => [http://sanjaymenon.hostwq.net/data/wp-content/uploads/2008/11](http://sanjaymenon.hostwq.net/data/wp-content/uploads/2008/11)[
   subdir] => /2008/11 [error] => )
 * so anyone has any idea on how to fix this problem?
    Please help me with a way
   to get over this problem or recommend another good userphoto-like-plugin (if 
   there is any).
 * Thanks in advance!!!
