Installation failure - file uploads are off

I've tried installing both the stable and the beta versions.
I set the permissions as requested and the check says these are OK, but there is a fatal error for file_uploads.

This seems to be set wrong in php.ini. I didn't have this file but I created it and inserted the appropriate entries; however, it doesn't seem to be recognized. I placed it in both the root and the serendipity directories.

Probably something I'm missing in the docs but I haven't been able to find it.

Hi!

You must ask your server provider to set this file_uploads setting accordingly. usually you yourself cannot change it. It is unrelated to Serendipity, it is causes by your PHP setup!

Thanks for this. I'd begun to suspect it was something similar.
