Great you figured it out!
Should uploads, and database folders be checked by the framework (if it
depends on it), or the app?
This is defensive programming, and a question of where that responsibility
lies - should it be run time, or admin / install time?
In any case, you figured it out, so that is not too bad. And if, in
general, some installation folder doesn't exist will it be a good thing
at runtime to try to fix that, or raise an exception? (Other things might
be amiss if the installation is incorrect, after all).
I think things are fine as they are w.r.t. raising an exception in this
case.
