Missing Items in PMM Download

If you downloaded the PMM source code archive (pmm-cms_1.3.tar.gz) two empty but necessary folders are missing from the bundle. They are present in the zip archive of the download--(pmm-cms_1.3.zip). The missing folders are:

/pmm-cms/NewsCMS/news/audio
/pmm-cms/NewsCMS/news/images

If you have already installed the version that is missing these directories, you can correct the problem by creating empty folders with the names "audio" and "images" and uploading them into the /pmm-cms/NewsCMS/news/ directory. After the folders are uploaded, you will need to set their permissions(chmod) to 0777 (R/W/X for Owner/Group/Others). This is an important step--if these directories are not writable by the web server and by PHP, it will be impossible to upload audio and image files.

Sorry for the problem and thanks to Brian Shiratsuki for bringing it to our attention.
