Description
both folders are not in the dev-1 zip file. This results in an error "/cache is not writable" and "/upload is not writeable"
> check zip file

can we change the error message to: "/upload [/cache] - the directory does not exist or is not writable"?

Looks like I'm going to need to find a better Zipping utility, ZipGenius apparently doesn't support adding empty subdirectories.
Suggestion: Create an empty file named ".placeholder" (with the leading dot) in directories that are "empty". I've observed this trick done with other applications, as well.
Apparently, someone already created a file called "empty.txt" in the cache/ and uploads/ directories, per SVN r88.
I'm closing this bug as fixed.
Automatically closed -- issue fixed for two weeks with no activity.
