Trying to upload an image. Done permissions, inc .htaccess. Tryed both types of upload. Get the following error message. Help please!
Warning: is_dir() [function.is-dir]: Stat failed for /home/rtscouk/public_html/wp-content/uploads (errno=13 - Permission denied) in /home/rtscouk/public_html/wp-includes/functions.php on line 1444
Unable to create directory /home/rtscouk/public_html/wp-content/uploads/2008/09. Is its parent directory writable by the server?
"Done permissions" meaning? Which directory and chmod to what?

I mean making all directories and files from the root down writable user, group, and world
That's dangerous!
You need only the wp-content to be writable (usually 777) - and then WP can create the directories under (in) it.

I know it's dangerous but having struggles with wordpress for 5 days solid, with one problem after another, I'm past caring.
Having used software in the past that is designed to be used, I have found Wordpress a complete nightmare. It is billed as simple to use - and it probably is if you are a programmer. I am not, but I persevere.

I reset as you explained above, now I'm locked out altogether. I'm getting the following:
Warning: main(/home/rtscouk/public_html/wp-includes/compat.php) [function.main]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/rtscouk/public_html/wp-settings.php on line 207

As we established yesterday during the troubleshooting - your host sucks. All those "permission denied" error messages are there because of paranoid settings on the host server.
We cannot do anything about it. Get a decent host.
