   Fresh 2.3.3 install. Fresh db.

   Run the installer, log in, Write Post and upload an image.

   BZZZZ! The uploaded file could not be moved to /var/www/vhosts/domain.com/httpdocs/w3/wp-content.

   wp-content is 755, owner is my user.

   Does this look like a host issue? I retreated to 2.3.3 from 2.5.1 for image upload problems, thinking it was 2.5.1. But now I'm thinking it's my server security. I have a $65/month fancy virtual private server, and root access. This should not happen, correct?

   Make a folder just for images and make it 777. Try to FTP an image to confirm that works.

   I can FTP to wp-content at its current 755. After all, it was created (as were all the other WP files) as my user.

   Some of your permissions not correct but I suppose you know that.

   Does your htaccess file turn off mod security?

   This is mine for example

   <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
   <files async-upload.php>
   SecFilterEngine Off
   SecFilterScanPOST Off
   SecFilterInheritance Off
   </files>
   RewriteEngine On
   RewriteBase /
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
   RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
   </IfModule>

   Hi guys, I am running into the same problem when I try and insert images into posts. (2.5) Apparently this is becoming a big problem here at wordpress.

   I have 1 question and 1 thought.

   1. The htaccess file... I can create the file using a txt edit program? What file extension must it be saved as? Where exactly does it go?

   2. Now this is just a thought I have... Could this image problem in posts be a result of the fact that the post is cut off with [...]

   I think so.....

   Questions - Yes, .htaccess, root.

   Thanks kmessinger. I found out that part of my problem was a very strange, rare one: auto_increment was reset to 0 for every table after backing up/restoring the db. It was causing more problems than just this, BTW.

   Jesse, create the .htaccess file on the server. You can do this with any FTP client. If you do it on your Mac, it will immediately be hidden from you. Any files that begin with a dot are hidden in Mac OS X.
