What kind of errors are you seeing? Did you chmod the month directories as well? 09, 10, etc.
As the previous poster pointed out, the chmod needs to be recursive – thus
#chmod 777
wp-content/uploads won’t do it. Instead, you need to do:
#chmod -R wp-content/uploads
If you’re still jammed, then I would suggest checking the “owner” and “group” of the upload directory. If you have access to a shell, that is. If not, then contact your hosting provider and ask them to adjust ownership. The web server needs to be able to write to wp-content/uploads/ and all subdirectories beneath (2007/10 2007/09 etc etc)

Thanks for the input.
The error I get is:
“Unable to create directory /var/www/vhosts/ivobol.nl/httpdocs/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/10. Is its parent directory writable by the server?
Back to Image Uploading”
All the subdirectories are chmod 777, and I can upload picture with FTP and adjust the code (so I guess the Owner and group permissions are ok) but I cannot use the WordPress editor. I can just carry on wth my Blog using ftp, but it is still a mystery…

WP 2.2 created a yearly based structure for storing uploads. When I changed this back thru Options | Miscellaneous / Organize my uploads into month- and year-based folders OFF I had no more problems with uploading.
