Site move issue..

[okchunter]

I recently moved to a new server. I installed SMF 2.0 beta4. I had this on the previous server and it was working just fine. Now when I moved to the new server I installed and then restored my db backup. What isn't working is uploading attachments and avatars. The message I get is

The attachments upload directory is not writable. Your attachment or avatar cannot be saved.

On the fresh install before restoring the db it worked fine. After the db restore that is the message I get. Anyone have any idea where in the db I can go to fix this?

Just to add.. I have adjusted the folder permissions to 777.

You need to go to the Attachment and Avatar settings in your admin panel and reset the directory to the proper path.  When you restored your backup, it went back to the path on the old server, which obviously is not valid anymore.
