   hello everyone,

   I'm coming across an issue when attempting to upload an image in a post.
   The following error message appears:

   It's not possible to create dir /home/mhd-01/htdocs/wp-content/uploads/2009/06...

   What does it mean??

   thanks for the help.

   Is this the first time you're attempting to upload an image? If so, you might have to change permissions of the wp-content folder to 0755.

   already done. Nothing happens...
   Could it be a path issue? What should be the correct path?

   It's not a path problem but a permissions one. Try 766. If you still have problems, try 767 or 777 as a last resort.

   Do you have the same permissions set on the "uploads" folder?

   Hi,

   Check with these:

   - Assign 766 recursive permissions to wp-contents folder of your blog..
   - Check the upload settings from wordpress admin area -> settings -> miscellaneous settings..it should be wp-contents/uploads rather then wp-contents/uploads/ [DO NOT REQUIRE BACK SLASH] folder..

   Thanks,

   Shane G.
