   Whenever I try to upload an image from the Write Post field, I receive the following error:

   Unable to create directory /home/a7641430/public_html/wp-content/uploads/2008/10. Is its parent directory writable by the server?

   I've tried adjusting the permissions on the upload.php file, but still no luck. What do I need to adjust?

   You would need to adjust permission CHMOD to 755 or 777 for /uploads/ folder in
   /home/a7641430/public_html/wp-content/<strong>uploads</strong>/2008/10
   not the upload.php file

   Well, the problem is that I'm not seeing an "uploads" folder in "wp-content." Only folders for "plugins" and "themes."

   So CHMOD wp-content folder to 777 and then upload ... other folders are added to contain your image .. then CHMOD wp-content folder back to 755

   I think the url being generated in that is from the MySQL?

   Edit: I'll try that, brb

   Great, thank you. That worked.

   what worked?

   I've done all of this... I changed my permissions from 755 to 777 on both public_html and www and each of the sub folders too.

   Why am I still getting the error message?
