   I get this error whenever uploading.

   Unable to create directory /****/*****/*****/*****/wp-content/images/2008/07. Is its parent directory writable by the server?

   All help is appreciated, thanks.

   I've got the same problem. It could have to do with the path /*****/... where I have /home/www/web405/html/...

   This path starts from the web server home to which I have of course no access. It should be sth like http://myblog/...
   Not sure about http. Definitely not /home/www etc.

   Does anyone now what exactly to put here, and where this is set?

   Thanks.

   As a test you can try chmodding wp-content to 777. I wouldn't recommend leaving it as that because that make it writable to the world.

   @lausianne: The path should be absolute: /home/www/youraccount/html/wp-content/ and not http://yoursite.com/wp-content/.

   Thanks for your answers, peiqinglong & xeroxaven.

   I chmodded wp-content to 777, now I get this when trying to upload (flash):
   On top there's the message "HTTP error" in red letters.
   Below that I found the unreadable message
   "An error occurred in the upload. Please try again later."

   (I copy/pasted the page to a textfile to read the message ...)

   But the browser uploader now works!
