Comment:

 First, let me say - thanks for Wordpress - it's a fantastic tool for folks
 that don't need to care about HTML and just want to communicate.

 I reopened this issue because I feel it describes what I'm seeing even
 though it was closed/worksforme by someone else.

 When specifying the uploads folder as "/wp-content/uploads", WP doesn't
 gripe at me when there is no such folder on the file system (/wp-
 content/uploads, not ./wp-content/uploads). There is a folder in the WP
 tree with that name, but nothing with the absolute path of /wp-content/...
 If nothing else, I would expect WP to warn me (when configuring it as an
 admin) that the path I specified doesn't exist yet.

 This report was made while using Wordpress 3.2.1 on CentOS 5.6. Wordpress
 was installed into the virtualhost root directory (not
 http://f.q.d.n/wordpress).
