[BioC] webbioc upload manager error

[Colin Smith]

Jake-

That happens when the upload manager can't create a new directory to 
store session contents. Check to make sure that $UPLOAD_DIR is set 
correctly in the Site.pm configuration file. Also check to make sure 
that directory is writable by Apache (user www or group www).
